Now that Steem is m00ning again, I want to remind everyone that my Steemy Summer Party is definitely on. I have already reserved our community pool and the event is on my community's calendar as well.
My first idea for this event was a bit too ambitious, so I have decided to make it a relaxed, social event, geared for both Steemians and newbies alike. Having attended one meetup with Steemians in Missouri already, I have to admit, meeting face to face is a very rewarding experience! This will be a family-friendly party. We have an olympic sized pool that I have reserved for Steemians in the evening. So, the event will be free for anyone who has a Steemit account. If someone wants to go, they need to create a Steemit account first.
HERE ARE THE DETAILS:
June 24, 2017
4 pm- 9 pm
Location: 194 Oak Hill Cluster, Independence Missouri 64056
If you're coming, I need a head count, so please comment if you can attend! The food will need to be ordered in advance.

Dinner will be provided. Most likely it will be Mexican food. We will eat outdoors.
After dinner people can swim in our private pool, socialize, explore the woods in our community or just talk about how cryptos are m00ning.
Ambitious people could talk about how we could potentially convert my community into the first crypto village. We have the infrastructure to do this. (This is one of my dreams).
@jessamynorchard has agreed to sing and perform. (please confirm).
WHAT I NEED HELP WITH:
- People to help prepare food and clean up.
- Spreading the word.
- Creating a video/film of the event.
WHAT I CANNOT PROVIDE
I don’t have accommodations to offer, so if you’re traveling from out of town, it will be up to you to reserve your own hotel or lodgings.
A word about the community where the event will be held and its design:
The community hosting this event is called Harvest Hills. It’s a Christian community and therefore comes with a number of rules. The pool has rules as well, and the main ones are no smoking or drinking inside the pool area. There’s no lifeguard, so you’ll be responsible for yourself and/or kids. Drugs are not allowed as this community is not a hippie commune or anything like that. Imagine how you would conduct yourself if you visited an Amish community. Harvest Hills is not Amish, but anyway, you get the idea. It’s an intentional community and I will be responsible for all guests. I want to be as straightforward as possible about this in order to avoid problems. If you’re wanting to party, get wasted and act like an idiot, etc., this is not the event for you. I was granted permission to use the church community center only after I spoke to the church leaders and they learned what Steemit is about. I have a real world community reputation, as well as a Steemit reputation. Keep that in mind.
The land in the center of the circle of houses, as well as the woods surrounding Harvest Hills is owned by the church and not individuals.
This kind of communal ownership of land creates a sort of unity that could not be accomplished otherwise. People are free to start their own gardens on the communal land in designated areas. There’s also a barn that is currently not being used. At one time there were horses living in the barn.
It contains many earth-homes called Terra-Domes and Dome Homes that were built over 30 years ago.
Most of the houses are situated in a circle and in the middle is a playground for children. The reason for it being built in a circle was to encourage communication and also provide a way for parents to help each other watch kids, who are usually playing in the middle of the circle.
If you're interested in helping at this event, please let me know. I won't be able to do it on my own.
If you have questions or want to organize anything for this, email me at leahstellaATgmail.com. I don't use Steemit chat, so don't message me there.
Thanks!
@andrarchy and all other marketing people, I could use a boost from you. Thanks.
Please re-steem so that as many people as possible see this!
We need a community board area so we don't miss posts like this..
Virtualgrowth will be going to STEEMY SUMMER PARTY IN MISSOURI IS ON: JUNE 24, 2017 4PM-9PM
yes!
50% chance of attending as I would like to, but not near by but traveling around I may stop by for this. Will better figure out my travels as this gets closer.
Wow. Much agreed. It would be a humble honor to meet you and the other pillars of power here in person.
Thank you.
Namaste,
it would be so cool if you could come. I know we would have a lot to discuss, especially the Steemgigs stuff....which I am going to focus on more now...
plus you're such a cool person. Please?
Will make a point of it then. Since your said "cool" & "please" :D
Thinking the #steemgigs idea is another of many great community ideas. Would be great to get "personally" involved in more ways with steemit too.
Additionally I may be able to help with cooking too and other stuff being an Eagle Scout who loves to help out.
I am very happy because you certainly do stand out as an exceptional person and i would love the help. Jessymynorchard is going to help too, and she's also performing. I think you'll like our community here, it's rather unique in this part of the country. If you need my other details, you can email me.....we could go to busy for a pm, if you need it.
Sounds great! Will be in touch.
ok, great, glad to hear it.....we have a big pool too which I have reserved for us.
And i believe papa-pepper is coming too!
Was wondering about that, and be awesome to meet him too along with everyone else!
as you may know, we met up in person in Missouri a while back. He's really a nice, awesome person. Very exuberant......Jessy and I really connected well, it's so good to meet in person, it adds much more of a human connection..
Yes I do know. Almost wanted to some join but wasn't able to. Yes to the whole meeting in person thing which can add another level of connection and energy, which I found when I attended Consensus last week.
Very cool. Please take lots of pics of the event and post about it. So glad @jedsamynorchard is playing. Love here.
You've been busy with Steem and Dash. Speaking of Dash, I've been asked to speak at a Dash-sponsored event in Cancun on June 8th at the Grand Oasis hotel. I'll be speaking to merchants about the benefits to businesses accepting cryptocurrencies. Any bullet point suggestion?
yes, i know about your involvement with Dash. All the worlds are overlapping now. And we will take lots of photos.
Lol ;)
Include me in the head count please! My life is crazy stupid busy right now, but I will definitely try to be there!
As a merchant on Shopify -- please start getting on them about it :) Much appreciation. Let me know if I can help in any way.
CONFIRMED! 💚
Also resteemed and am currently sharing to all social media outlets.
YEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!
Awesome! 💚
I'm missing out on all of these meetups just cause I don't live in US/Europe :(
Organize a meetup in India! What could be better? It's cheaper and you can make a few awesome posts!
I don't think I've reached that stage yet. Besides there are not so many users from India.
Did you get in touch with @funnyman yet?
Not yet.
I just resteemed it 👍. Hope your party go well 💥
THANKS
resteemed!
exciting!
will you be attending?
it's pretty far.. but that mexican food sure is tempting lol
I'm going to do my best to be there!
Great! I just got word that @jessymynorchard will perform!
GREAT!! I'm sure we'll be hearing some sad songs from a sad bastard @jessamynorchard ;) Hopefully @melodyrussell will be able to join also!!

Yes Jessamyn tagged me in it! That's how i saw this!

Look forward to meeting if you can make it.
Sorry :( I'm too far away... I'm from Russia. Maybe next time. resteem
the steemit goddess, I have resteemed
thanks. And thanks for the wonderful conversation today! I had a great time speaking with you.
@stellabelle, your STEEM COSMO interview has been posted. this is the link https://steemit.com/life/@ehiboss/steem-cosmo-with-stellabelle
Me too. Keep up the amazing work
I'm from Argentina and I love your idea! I dream someday to be able to have a steemit party in my country. Nice way to cultivate the spirit of steemit and I would love to live closer to being able to go. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it a lot!
Love that you're doing this and wish I could come. Cheers to a great time for all of you!
Wow, sounds so fun! I wish I could come :(
I'ill miss..please update after event.
I have 1 gig planned this entire year thus far .. and by the spite of the Gods.. it falls on that same weekend. Its an annual gathering of the elders & family friends, outside of Springfield, on a stunning riverside private property. I've been asked to attend, DJ, and photo/video via quadcopter. (which in-turn will be slathered all over Steemit via my postings)
I will double check with them to see if they're still firm on their date - if so, I'm gonna REGRETFULLY have to decline ... this time... but of course we'll keep these meetups going since we're all a bunch of cool kids who like to steem on.
Look forward to meeting another time.
+1 homie
A meetup in Missouri?! That's only 40 minutes away from me!
I am interested in attending and can help with cook and cleaning if i make it. For now i will share on the social medias and resteem.
