Great summary of your experience at Steemfest @slobberchops.
Sounds like you found the "talking to strangers" bit as difficult as I did. I also felt extremely uncomfortable a lot of the time which was balanced by the great conversations I had with the people I did pluck up the courage to speak to.
If Steemfest 4 was closer I'd definitely go but I don't think I'll make it to Thailand. We've got a lot on this November which means we couldn't go and make more of a holiday of it. Flying all that way I'd want to spend a decent amount of time there.
I think the second time around would be a lot easier so it's a shame to be missing it.
