Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA

Looking for interest or ideas for the Twin Cities area.  I understand that there was a meet up back in April.  If someone could post some meeting minutes from that (or general experience) that would be great.  Here is the site for that meet up --> http://www.meetup.com/Everything-Bitcoin/events/110608472/

I'd like to organize another meet up.  I have access to large meeting rooms in downtown Minneapolis, or could be responsible for organizing something in a Twin Cities bar.

Please post if you're interested.


Thanks!

The meeting in April was a little soft on attendance due to the weather, but last month it was awesome.  We had around 20 people show up, several of whom brought beer.  There was a range of people, as you'd expect, from those who had just heard about it to a merchant that has transacted hundreds of Bitcoins for his business; and everyone in between.

We're having another meeting this Sunday August 18th in Edina.  This is our first meeting on the south side of town but it should be a great one.  We're meeting in a state of the art classroom at video conferencing company.  You can find the specifics here:

We'll be having another Meetup in September, probably in Columbia Heights if that's more convenient.  Either way, we'd love to see you there.

I attended http://AgoraFest.com this past weekend (near Red Wing, MN) and Bitcoin was well represented (two sessions on Bitcoin, as well as Bitcoin coming up at least once in a most every other session or conversation).

Silver was being accepted as well.  I had some silver dimes with me and used them to pay for dinner and later drinks.  That as the first time I had ever used junk silver in trade (rather than simply buying or selling a precious metal for investment purposes).

What was interesting was that even these little silver dimes were not of fine enough granularity.   

For instance, in paying for a beer.   One silver dime was too little.  Two silver dimes was a little high.

If the merchant accepted DYM (a silver dime-backed voucher issued through Ripple), I could have paid with the precise amount (e.g. 1.6419 DYM).   

I think that Ripple (and DYM) is something with great potential.

Anyways, I'll still be in the Twin Cities this week Wednesday so will be at the meetup at Club Jager.
