It is the coolest thing to have these steemit communities popping up in more personal ways.
In the short time I've been here, I've attended several and have just planned my first one for next month.
What a time to be involved with steemit. And congrats on 16 months. I guess in time, we'll both be considered O.G.'s. lol
Yeah, it won't take much to reach OG status here. I kind of wish someone would make a badge for that. I'd put it on my posts from time to time.
You're lucky to have so many people in your area on Steemit. It's a fun thing to be able to share.
