Thanks to everyone who entered the previous "Your Place in the Room" question from last week (well, about 10 days again as I'm getting a bit behind on keeping up with the contests...). It appears that we have a great amount of corner dwellers in my Steem audience. I wonder if Steemfest is all about people standing in corners of the room?

This week, it is a pretty simple question... I've been on tour... which means that I arrive at a hotel that can sometimes be a bit overwhelmed by the arrival a decent sized orchestra and choir.... especially in smaller towns, where there is just a single elevator that just isn't going to cope with about 60 people and luggage wanting to upstairs.

My Question

1. Are you a stairs person or a lift person?

2. If you are a stairs person... how many floors will you go before you decide it is time for the mechanical option?

My sample answer

Mostly, I will prefer stairs unless it is a dark, urine smelling dungeon... where it is more likely that I'll just get mugged. In the hotel situation that I mentioned above, I definitely don't bother with the lift. It is just an excercise in frustration... especially when some people just "accidentally" don't notice the 50 metre line of people who are waiting...

However, I do have my limits... about 5 floors with my violin/messenger bag and luggage. Any more than that... and I give up and wait in line.... or better still, store my bags and walk off and get something to eat!

In the ordinary course of events, I am now limited a bit by a toddler... which means that the use of stairs really depends on how much time I have. I make my kids walk as much as possible... but that really does mean that you can't really be in a big hurry... or that would also be an excercise in frustration! I'm not mean though... perhaps 2 or 3 floors is enough for them... although, I have made my oldest walk up some pretty high cathedral towers (in my defence, she loved it!.

Steem Basic Income

One of the first communities that I came in contact with at the beginning of my time at Steemit was @steembasicincome. As a author starting out on your fresh new Steemit account, Steemit can be a daunting and lonely place to be. OFten, it can feel like you are posting into an abyss with no one listening and with no ability to grow out of the situation. A share of Steem Basic Income gives you a guaranteed vote on one post a day, thus giving you a small but over time cumulative support to your account to help grow you out of your initial wilderness!

With this post, I want to help sponsor people who might not even have the spare 1 STEEM that is required for registration. So, when this post pays out, I will sponsor people depending on the payout of this post. Basically, I will round up the SBD payout from this post and then that will be the number of people I will sponsor. (So, if the payout is 2.3 SBD, I will sponsor 3 people). OF course, this is not simply an altruistic move, as the sponsor of a Steem Basic Income share also gets a share, so it is a great way to help others whilst helping yourself!

Last week's winners

The last post paid out 0.007 SBD and 3.48 STEEM in liquid earnings. So, that would make 4 shares.

The winners by random draw are:
