Had a great time in Las Vegas hosting a Crypto MeetUp, being interviewed by @sirlunchthehost, and enjoying some good food.
Had fun hosting and organizing my first crypto MeetUp in Las Vegas. Will have more from that soon. Here are some pictures from the place where we had the MeetUp at which @sirlunch and his assistants were present at. Spent about an hour and a half answering questions for people that we interested in learning about cryptocurrencies. Taking some time to explain some basics from bitcoin to steemit. Along with bitshares, viva coin, OpenLedger, and others.
Explaining basics of wallets and trading with mention of some websites like bittrex.com, bitcoin.org, steemit.com, bitshares.org, openledger.info, coinmarketcap.com/, tradeqwik.com, and more.

Electrum was created by Thomas Voegtlin in November 2011.
Since then, various developers have contributed to its source code.
Will go into more details when the recording is ready to be shared. Thank you very much for the continued community support that has allowed me to explore and accomplish such ideas.
Meeting @sirlunchthehost
Meeting @sirlunchthehost was lots of fun! We did an interview in which you could see him but not me and only my hands. Greatly look forward to seeing how this all comes out, falls together, and grows into more as well!
Food in Las Vegas
Enjoyed some good food in Las Vegas with a chance to go to Maggiano's Little Italy in Las Vegas across from the Venetian before going to my blockchain interview to make sure I had plenty of energy for this honor of being the first to be interviewed. Here we had Chicken Marsala and Shrimp Fra Diavolo which were both great dishes! Enjoyed the food here before heading off to meet up with @sirlunchthehost with the right amount of time to walk to meet with him and others to record my Blockchain Documentary interview.

Crypto Meet Up in Las Vegas
Thank you very much to the people who helped me host my first MeetUp! Was planned on the fly just days ahead of time. So we didn't have a whole lot of people. Thanks to @sirlunchthehost and his crew attending as well! Will update with other names soon. To my surprise we had a big room to have out MeetUp in and went to a smaller room which was more fitting to our small, but successful, initial gathering.
We even found a pool table in a room in the back where we played a game of pool which was fun. Will have to document a game being played and/or trick shots another time. Was just getting ready for the MeetUp so figured just play a quick game for fun. But I missed one shot then ran the table making some good shots including bank shot and a shot behind the back. So will have to get some pictures another time for sure!
MeetUp @ Innevation in Las Vegas
Was able to get us a room for the MeetUp at a place called Innevation.
a 65,000-square-foot collaborative workspace and community event venue driving Nevada’s new innevation economy, donated to the community by Switch Founder and CEO Rob Roy.
This place was more than I had initially expected. Some MeetUps I have been at have rooms just big enough for the amount of people that had attended. We had less than a dozen people that had RSVP'd and had a huge room available initially. This was awesome and thank you very much to those that helped put this together. Look forward to securing locations elsewhere since i have discovered that I could potentially get such places in various states for future MeetUps as there are many people and places that want to support things like the education of bitcoin, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies. So I look forward to doing this more as I find ways to do so.
With seats for so many people I got scared and requested a smaller room!; Just Kidding!
We did move to a smaller room that was more fitting to the small crowd we had. Thank you very much to everyone that came! Was lots of fun to give me host and organize my first Crypto Meet Up and look forward to more. The next one may be in the Los Angeles area. Next time I will have everything more in order to share too. Thinking about ideas that I will want to do next time after my first time doing this.
Best, @virtualgrowth
