I would definitely come! I'm about an hour and a half away from Springfield but I love going there. I hadn't joined when the other one went on, but I've been wanting to. Most of them are just too darn far away! My husband and I both are Steemians and a bunch of our friends too! Like @hethur240 who shared this with us! I think it's a great idea!

hey @rockchickjen! We would love for you to join. I was not able to attend the last area meetup either.

Let other people know about this opportunity, and let's make this a great event.

Definitely will! I know in our small little town of Mountain View, I can think of at least 10 people who are on Steemit! So we'll spread the word and hopefully get all of them to come! ;)

I am a Minnow and I have organized two successful meetups.

@imbigdee, thanks for sharing your success story. That is encouraging to me!

Papa would definitely try to attend.

@papa-pepper, it would be an honor if you joined us. Thanks for the reply and hope to see you soon!

I used to live there :) have a wonderful time!!

@kubbyelizabeth, I can hear "it's a small world" playing in the background.

I hope that I can get some traction on the event. For me it would be a success if we could even get a mini-meetup organized.

It can be tough, but i'm sure you can do it. Connect with one person at a time and slowly and surely you will find yourself with a group of people. :)

I'm so going to organise one in London. I'm sure there are hundreds of us here now being such a major city. In fact I'm sure someone else has organised one that I haven't heard about.

I am hearing about meetups more and more these days. I am sure that you could organize a small weekly meetup in a city the size of London. Good luck! Keep us up-to-date on your progress.

Yesss!!!

@hethur240, thanks for your interest and the resteem. Let's keep the conversation going!

I will keep you in the loop as more information is available. Do you have any time restrictions that would prevent you from coming?

Nope! I work for myself and for my mother, part-time. I missed the first meet-up. @jessamynorchard is who got me started on Steemit! I'm proud to be from the same area she is from.

I had not joined Steemit the last time there was one in Springfield. Excited for the chance to meet some of the people I have been following.

I sent a message to @jessamynorchard, but feel free to reach out to her if you feel comfortable doing so.

The more the merrier!

I would like to much but it's impossible to me!
Great initiative :)

@criptomaster, thanks for wanting to come. I know that the distance is too great for you.

I'm totally down! I can work with what ever month and what ever day as long as it doesn't coincide with the Baker Creek Planting Festival which is May 6th and 7th.

awesome @powellx5! We will get some dates together and start making plans. Sounds like we have some progress already. Look forward to meeting everyone!

Great that you are organizing this! I'd love to come, but is a bit too far away for me right now.

I am excited! Sorry that you can not join us (maybe next time).

Wow! Steemit meet ups everywhere! We're also holding one this coming Saturday and we are really excited! 😊

We wish you much success for your meetup. Tell everyone that your Steemit friends from Missouri, USA, say "hi."

Be sure to share with us about how your event goes.

I have a crazy gig schedule, but definitely want to be there, so the sooner a date and location is possibly set, the sooner I can get it on my calendar and make certain to be there, because I want to. I’ve ben craving another Meetup. The OG Springfield was so fun, as was the first KC Meetup. Love hanging out with fellow Steemians so much!!!! Great idea, and effort/initiative to make it a reality!

@jessamynorchard, are there any dates that you have open right now? If you will give me 2-3 then I will takes those into consideration for the event. We would love for you to join us!

April 21, May 12, June 2nd are all Saturdays I am open. They’re not the only ones, granted, but I do try to fill my schedule up quickly so I know I have income coming in on those weekend dates usually. However, if another date comes around that works better, get in touch with me here rather than Discord (I don’t tend to check that as much as I should being as busy as I have been lately), and I will do my best to be there. Really want to see this come to fruition and again, so thankful you’re willing to head the crew putting it together.

Hell yeah man - I'm game. Keep me posted & nice initiative!

@giftedgaia, thanks for stopping by. I will definitely keep you in the loop.

Sounds like a great idea! I know for me personally it's kind of hard getting a sitter for my kids, but if I were to have enough notice I could set something up. Resteeming to spread the word :)

@ashleyhogan, thanks for the comment. I understand how hard it is to get a sitter. My wife and I have 5 kids.

We will get a date lined up soon so that you can get things set up on your end. Thanks for the resteem!

I'm sure I could make it down there with some notice. :)

@sykochica, thanks for showing interest. We will get a date planned soon so that you have plenty of time to plan.

Well probably since all my friends are doing it!!!

@jasonrussel, the peer pressure is too great to resist! Look forward to meeting you.

i would love to come over as well, though stay very far..I appreciate your invite
