So, the meetup was a success! We'll meet again in about a month and a half. With a few more people in the loop we'll look to grow it. Next time I think we'll go for a local bar/restaurant and pour post rewards into free food and beer rather than post promotion. We'll keep growing!
It was pretty nice though to find some other steemians. 
Anyway, good times were had. Beers drank, legal recreational substances consumed, conversation held, and new friends made. I think that's the point. I'm targeting the weekend of September 16th or 23rd for the next one, and yes there will be a next one.
In true crypto fashion we decided to take a photo sans faces, but nevertheless we were all smiling! Good times and a pleasure to meet you all.
