So believe it or not, I have been working with Drupal since 2013, and I never even knew this group met up or existed. I really wish I had known before!
I just wanted to say hi, and that I plan to join in with some of the Twin Cities Drupal events as my schedule allows. Excited to be able to talk with others face to face. I'm one of the owners of a small(very small) business here in Minneapolis known as Twin Cities Leather & Latte, located on Hennepin Ave S and 27th Street.
I frequently find myself in a precarious situation when trying to describe my relationship with Drupal. Although I built my company's website myself, I'm not a Site Builder full time, so I guess I land somewhere between Site Builder and End-User (friends with benefits? :) )
And for that matter, look us up! If you ever want a nice, quiet, relaxing environment that brews a bold cup of coffee while you work/program, feel free to drop in sometime. https://www.TwinCitiesLeather.com is geared more toward E-commerce, so to learn more about us you might check out https://www.facebook.com/TwinCitiesLeather.
Looking forward to meeting some of you soon!

Welcome! It also took me
Welcome! It also took me quite a while to figure out that we live in a city with a pretty active and vibrant Drupal community. The regulars of course do tend to be developers or full-time site builders, but I also don't do Drupal fulltime and they haven't kicked me out yet. Definitely stop by an event! It'd be interesting to hear how easy/hard you found the site building experience and ongoing site maintenance to be.
Welcome!
I'm not based out of the Twin Cities anymore... but the Drupal community there was a big reason why we originally moved there. It's truly a great community! Please do attend some events and join the Slack channel (https://slackinvite.me/to/tcdrupal).
Also, be sure to stop by the Pantheon Open House happening right now.
