TLDR: SteemStock is: A Steemit-fueled Family Gathering of sorts, with outdoor music, art, food festival coming to Austin, Texas.
Date moved to Feb/March so it does not conflicts or come too close to the annual official SteemFest gathering.
Why SteemStock? Why support it?
--
Because this is a Community Resource / Event and I care and we are all in this together. None of us are getting out alive.
I am still helping organize this but with very limited input and time on my end. I plan on donating to this event when I can as well.
I supported the event from the 1st nite it was announced and I fully support the organizer too, he is a solid guy and I like him a lot.
He cares about the Steemit community and I know when he was going thru his tough times, he was very thankful for us as his Steemit family, and that is another reason I support him and this event.
I stayed in touch with him, checked on him and that is what family is about. He checked on me during my last year of brutal issues after being run over by a car.
That man is 
That is a bit of the backstory, and I will keep this as part of the template for this series.
I had always planned on writing posts to keep this issue in the newsfeeds and he knows this. Events like this need help, encouragement, promotion, funding and general support.
We can all do a little bit.

The STEEMSTOCK puzzle will come together!
After several tragic events starting with my dad's death in January I have somehow managed to make it back to where I can think straight again (kind of 😊)
I want to apologize for leaving everyone hanging for the past few months. It seems like steemstock was finally gaining momentum and then I had to put it on hold.
My office staff will be helping me with steemstock now so I will be able to make progress much faster.
I got several emails raising concerns about the date for steemstock being so close to SteemFest. My intention was never to compete with SteemFest. SteemFest is integral part of steemit and it will continue to grow each year. I plan on attending all future SteemFest events, life permitting. (I had purchased my ticket, hotel and airfare for SteemFest #1 but my dad got sick and eventually died in January. I stayed by his side from the time he got sick until his death)
That being said I am planning on moving the date for steemstock to February or March.
I will be sending out an email to everyone on the mailing list soon. After that, one of my secretaries will be checking and responding to emails daily.
For anyone who has not heard about steemstock before:

As for the music and art, my goal is to recruit 100% steemit talent. I would also like to have some guest speakers - there are plenty of qualified candidates here on steemit.
Steemstock will foster the growth of steemit and steem by bringing awareness to the community as well as to the currency. People will be able to sign up for steemit at steemstock. I'm sure there will be plenty of people who can guide the newcomers through the sign up process, give advice and answer any questions.
Steemstock will cross promote locally in Austin in order to create a diverse attendance of potential steemers.
The possibilities are endless!!!! If you have any comments, input or recommendations please leave a comment below.
Just in case you missed it you can be added by emailing steemstock@gmail.com. I have not sent out any emails yet but I wanted to assure everyone that when I do, they will be sent individually. So no one will see each other's email addresses.
Talk to you soon!!
FULL STEEM AHEAD!!!!
That is the end of today's post in this series. I wanted to cover all the basics in the Series constants, as usual, for all the new people reading this post for the first time, since we have piles of people joining daily and to remind more veteran Steemians.
