After the crushing blow of being fired by text message on Thursday, the day before Good Friday, I arrived at The Jade pub 'fashionably late' and found the Adelaide Steemit group busy interacting with each other.
I introduced myself and found the people there to be friendly and informative about Steemit and what it was that they hoped to get out of the platform as it's still in it's infancy.
For me, it was looking for an alternative to YouTube, as I had been recently removed from their Partnership Program.
But the group turned what could have been a disasterous weekend into something pleasant.
I had to leave at 8:25pm to meet someone (I had left my cap in their car) and came back.
Conversations ranged from Steemit to space travel and were fascinating. Everyone was supportive of each other and with the exception of me looking like a complete goober in the group photo, I think I am welcome within this group.
I look forward to the next meeting and hope to have had several postings here long before then.
@holoz0r @o07 @mattclarke @ratticus and others made the event special.
I hope to see everyone at the next meeting.
