Today was a good day for friendship and learning!

Hello fellow steemians,

Today started like any other day, really. I wake up and first thing is I check my Facebook. As I am scrolling through my feed I noticed that my friend @giftedgaia was having a garage sale . So, I figured what the heck... I have some time between my lunch meeting and when I have to go to work. I think I will stop by and hang out with him for a little while.

So, of course I lounge around a bit more before I clean up and head to my meeting. The meeting of course goes well, and was rather fun if I do say so myself. I then head over to this garage sale where I will meet with my friend. He is not there when I arrive. This is all ok of course as another friend that I have not seen in quite a long time is also there. We ended up chatted things up for a while. Talking about everything from our old DJ days, music, and food to what we each have going on in life now days. This was certainly a very cool shared moment.

After a little while giftedgaia shows back up to the house with some food from Chipotle. Which looked quite delicious. However, I had already eaten at this point. Anyhow, the conversation continues as some strange and also not so strange people are rummaging through yesterdays forgotten crap.

A little while later we are shutting down the garage sale, and giftedgaia says to me, "hey, would you like to come over and discuss steemit? I noticed you said you still have some questions about the format". Of course, I jumped on this offer, and replied with, "I am already figuring some things out with steemit, and already am enjoying the site. I think it has some really great potential, and there certainly are some things I would like to discuss and learn"

So, we end up taking the short journey across town back to his place. Which I might add (coming from an audio guy and techie's point of view) looks flippin' sweet! There is podcast gear all over the table from the @steemittalk podcast that he does with @winstonwolfe and @sykochicka. There is also DJ gear and a great big computer monitor sitting in the corner. I got a little bit giddy to say the least.

It was at this point we sat down in front of his computer and started discussing many aspects about Steemit, the wallet, bitcoin, investing, transfering funds, curation, steem power, steemwhales, discord and so many other things. I will have to say that thanks to @giftedgaia I now have a much fuller working understanding of the whole platform.

It really seemed like the time flew by while we were there hanging out. I almost ended up being late for work. Hopefully, we will be able to reunite again soon over a cold one or to play with the drone and do some photograhy, and of course.. the inevitable talk about this new wonderful world of Steemit!

I dare say that if there is anything you wish to learn about steemit go and check out @steemittalk and download discord. They have vast knowledge on Steem and anybody, even those who have been here for a while can learn something from this amazing group of individuals!

With that, it is waaaay past my bed time... I bid you adieu!
