Hey guys,
So for those wondering or interested, the meetup did indeed happen. Three of us met up at the tables outside of the Cellini bar in the Queen Victoria Building (Sydney, Australia) and spoke for about 2 hours or so.
Since there weren't many of us, we just chatted casually without much structure to the meetup. I even gave out some free samples of the fresh, home made
almond milk I was carrying around (I'm vegan, so I usually come prepared with food and beverage when I go out. And, no, I don't usually give out my food and beverage, heh, but Yynatago and Elevation wanted to try it, so I obliged).
It was nice to hear from Yynatago that he and Elevation (i.e. the guys who organised the meetup) got together prior to the meetup to get to know each other a bit and talk about how to go about organizing the meetup (i.e. whether to add any structure to it).
The only structure it had was to get the discussion ball rolling and "break the ice" by having people share their stories about how Steve's (and by extension, Erin's) work has influenced them.
Yynatago seems keen on organising these meetups regularly and might get another one together for October, so if you're interested, be sure to let him knows—you can just send him a forum PM, or you can email him if you like:

Not sure if I'll be at the next meetup, but I thought I'd share some info about the one I went to today for those interested.
