Creation of Mr.
Haus 73, Schulterblatt, Altona. Hamburg, Germany
It has already been a month since we were lucky enough to enjoy this super event and yet I feel that it has been much longer since we were all together. A feeling that only makes me think about how much I would like to have a similar experience again, to share and learn together with other members of the community.
I am still delighted with the outcome of the event. A meet-up that felt very warm and close, a gathering of friends rather than a convention of strangers. I think that much of the merit that everything felt like this, was the great organization and various aspects contemplated by @tibfox to allow attendees to interact without much protocol in different scenarios that lent itself to very relaxed conversations.
But today I want to grab the chance that our host has started to share the videos of the afternoon of presentations about the blockchain, which we had in Hauss 73*, to show how we enjoyed the event also through the food, which was very present in every activity.
Before we get into the delicious world of food, I want to comment about how nice the venue was chosen for the conferences. I know that the whole panning was a bit delayed due to technical problems related to connectivity and internet, but as for the experience as an attendee, I can say that the atmosphere was very comfortable to have a room just for us during the event, which also had a bohemian vibe that was very interesting.
Ya ha pasado un mes desde que tuvimos la suerte de disfrutar de este s煤per evento y, sin embargo, siento que ha pasado much铆simo m谩s tiempo desde que estuvimos todos reunidos. Sensaci贸n que solo me llena de 谩nimos para pensar en cuanto me gustar铆a volver a tener una oportunidad similar, para compartir y aprender junto a otros miembros de la Comunidad.
Yo sigo plet贸rica con el resultado del evento. Un meet up que se sinti贸 muy c谩lido y cercano, una reuni贸n entre amigos m谩s que una convenci贸n de desconocidos. Creo que gran parte del m茅rito que todo se haya sentido as铆, fue la gran organizaci贸n y diversos aspectos contemplados por@tibfox para permitirnos a los asistentes interactuar sin mucho protocolo y en diversos escenarios que se prestaban a conversaciones muy relajadas.
Pero hoy quiero aprovechar la oportunidad de que nuestro anfitri贸n ha comenzado a compartir los v铆deos de la tarde de presentaciones sobre la blockchain, que tuvimos en Hauss 73*, para mostrar c贸mo disfrutamos del evento tambi茅n a trav茅s de la comida, que estuvo muy presente en cada actividad.
Antes de adentrarnos en el delicioso mundo de la comida, quiero comentar lo agradable que result贸 ser el lugar elegido para las conferencias. S茅 que todo el panning se retras贸 un poco por problemas t茅cnicos relacionados con la conectividad e internet, pero en cuanto a la experiencia como asistente, puedo decir que el ambiente era muy c贸modo al tener una plata solo para nosotros durante el evento, que adem谩s contaba con un aire bohemio que resultaba muy interesante.

In addition to that, the decoration added for our meetup was great. Finding the posters and some artworks in NFT format from artists in Hive was a very interesting way to materialize our virtual world, beyond getting to know each other, we were surrounded by tangible elements that represented Hive everywhere and that made me very excited!
It was a pity that the delay due to technical issues meant that we had to do without the proposals that had been prepared to acquire the posters or the NFTs that were there. In the end we did not discuss whether we would do some sort of donation, auction or purchase of them.
Here I share just three of the NFTs that were on display that day, just a small sample of the great talent that surrounded us. I allowed myself to include the link to which we could access each artwork using the QR code.
Adem谩s de ello, la decoraci贸n a帽adida con motivo de nuestro meetup result贸 genial. Encontrar los carteles y algunas obras de arte en formato NFT de artistas en Hive me precio una forma muy interesante de materializar nuestro mundo virtual, m谩s all谩 de conocernos, est谩bamos rodeados de elementos tangibles que representaban a Hive por todos lados y eso a m铆 me emociono mucho!
Fue una l谩stima que el retraso por los temas t茅cnicos hizo que tuvi茅semos que prescindir de las propuestas que se hab铆an preparado para adquirir los carteles o los NFTs que estaban all铆. Al final no discutimos si har铆amos una especie de donaci贸n, subasta o compra de ellos.
Aqu铆 comparto solo tres de los NFTs que estaban expuestos ese d铆a, tan solo una peque帽a muestra del gran talento que nos rodeaba. Me he permitido incluir el enlace al que podiamos acceder a cada arte gracias al c贸digo QR.
But I have to admit that I was most excited to see the Hive flags arranged on either side of the event's logo projection. It filled me with joy to see that I had actually been able to attend, and that I was also right where and when I wanted to be.
So that there would be no doubt, our host moved from one place to another, while he was in charge of a thousand other things, with a bag full of ID cards with the name of each participant, handing out each time he could the one that corresponded to the users that were arriving at the different points of the event.
And before we sat down, all very attentive during the hours of symposium that awaited us, we were introduced to the varied catering prepared almost entirely by tibfox.
Admittedly, he took great care to accommodate a wide range of tastes, so that all of us present had something to enjoy.
We had more than enough time for a leisurely lunch while the technical difficulties were being solved, about an hour and a half. So I spent a good while contemplating all the options available, asking about some things I didn't know about and deciding which items I was going to try first.
We had at our disposal an interesting variety of breads and cheeses, this was what caught my attention the most, mainly because I am a big fan of German bread, I really like how different it can be from what I am used to.
As for the cheese, I only spotted one of German origin. I had tried it a long time ago in the south of the country, so I found it interesting to get it here again, because I had no idea how I could find it again.
I'm talking about Harzer K盲se, a cheese that attracts one's attention for having a very curious texture, quite soft and a peculiar flavor. At the time, I thought that it contained some other element besides cheese and that it was seasoned with anise, when I perceived some dark dots in the mixture. I discovered that its texture is due to the ripening process of a base with a very low percentage of fat. As for the curious flavor, it is caused by the cumin, an element that I did not expect to get as an ingredient in a German cheese, it has been an interesting discovery and within its strange nature, I managed to enjoy it a lot and repeat small bites with different combinations.
Pero he de reconocer que lo que m谩s me entusiasm贸 fue ver las banderas con el logo de Hive dispuestas a cada lado de la proyecci贸n del logo del evento. Me llen贸 de alegr铆a ver que hab铆a podido acudir realmente, y que adem谩s estaba justo en el lugar y el momento en el que deseaba estar.
Para que no quedara dudas alguna, nuestro anfitri贸n se paseaba de un lugar a otro, mientras se encargaba de mil cosas m谩s, con una bolsa llena de carnets con la identificaci贸n de cada participando, entregando cada vez que pod铆a la que correspond铆a a los usuarios que iban llegando a los diferentes puntos del evento.
Y antes de que nos sent谩ramos, todos muy atentos durante las horas de simposio que nos esperaban, fuimos introducidos al variado catering que prepar贸 casi en su totalidad tibfox.
Hay que reconocer que se esmer贸 en complacer una gran parte de gustos, para que todos los presentes tuvi茅semos algo que disfrutar.
Tuvimos m谩s que suficiente tiempo para comer con tranquilidad mientras se solucionaban las dificultades t茅cnicas, alrededor de hora y media. As铆 que me dedique un buen rato a contemplar todas las opciones disponibles, a preguntar sobre algunas cosas que desconoc铆a y a decidir qu茅 cosas eran las primeras que iba a probar.
Ten铆amos a nuestra disposici贸n una interesante variedad de panes y quesos, esto fue lo que m谩s llam贸 mi atenci贸n, principalmente porque soy muy fan del pan alem谩n, me gusta mucho lo diferente que puede ser al que estoy acostumbrada.
En cuanto al queso, solo localic茅 uno de origen alem谩n. Lo hab铆a probado hace mucho tiempo en el sur del pa铆s, por lo que me pareci贸 interesante conseguirlo aqu铆 de nuevo, porque no ten铆a ni idea de c贸mo pod铆a encontrarlo otra vez.
Me refiero al Harzer K盲se, un queso que llama su atenci贸n por tener una textura muy curiosa, bastante suave y un sabor muy curioso. En su momento, pens茅 que conten铆a alg煤n otro elemento adem谩s del queso y que estaba condimentado con an铆s, al percibir unos puntitos oscuros en la mezcla. He descubierto que su textura se debe al proceso de maduraci贸n de una base con un porcentaje de grasa muy bajo. En cuanto al curioso sabor, es causado por el comino, un elemento que no me esperaba conseguir como base de un queso alem谩n, ha sido un descubrimiento interesante y dentro de su extra帽a naturaleza, consegu铆 disfrutarlo mucho y repetir peque帽os bocados con distintas combinaciones.
A great lunch!
But there were options for all tastes, fruits, olives and different vegetables that I was delighted to find, because they gave an interesting touch to the tapas that I decided to create for my tasting of the menu that was offered. I am a fan of arugula, so I was delighted to find a huge bowl full of it. Some of our fellow vegans and vegetarians also found interesting options, not having major concerns, something that we have to recognize to tibfox I think it's great that he has thought of everyone, it is a gesture that sometimes in Spain could fail.
The other thing that I found very interesting to try was one of the spreads, it seemed at first glance a liver pate, but it turned out to be a very light vegetable cream with red fruit flavor, I think. I loved it, I don't know exactly what it's called but it was very good. Ah! The selection of olives was also great, I liked them all.
I struggled a bit when serving myself the first course, I wanted to have a bit of everything on hand to see what I liked the most and then repeat xD something I did with less plating details, and that I repeated many times hahaha so much so that I was one of those pointed out by tibfox to go to the corner of those who were still eating when the talks started. Oops.
This beautiful plate of improvised tapas was conceived from the beginning to make this post. So obviously I took some time, before tasting everything, to take some photos that would do justice to the effort of our host. That moment did not go unnoticed in the midst of so many bloggers and the comments about it were not long in coming.
Also some Hivers tried to help creating a background for the photo that gave a more explicit understanding of the place we were in, including my #BuzzParty2024 ID, the magazine from the previous #HiveFest given to us by the guys from @hiq.magazine and, as a contribution from
@arcange, his business card as a developer of the #Hive blockchain. Pretty modest of him. xD
On top of that, there was a fun moment when @artakush and
@louis88 came up to show me, according to them, how a real pro photographer would take a perfect photo of that dish. Maybe one more accurately than the other, being in a battle between a cell phone camera and a DSLR. I'd love to see each other's results! We all had a good laugh, because of the spontaneity of the joke.
Pero hab铆a opciones para todos los gustos, frutas, aceitunas y diferentes vegetales que me encant贸 powder encontrar, pues le daban un toque interesante a las tapas que decid铆 crear para mi degustaci贸n del men煤 que nos ofrec铆an. Yo soy fan de la r煤cula, as铆 que me gusto mucho encontrarme un enorme bowl lleno de ella. Algunos de nuestros compa帽eros veganos y vegetarianos tambi茅n encontraron opciones interesantes, sin tener mayor preocupaci贸n, algo que hay que reconocerle a tibfox me parece genial que haya pensado en todos, es un detalle que a veces en Espa帽a podr铆a fallar.
Lo otro que me pareci贸 muy interesante de probar fue una de las cremas para untar, parec铆a a simple vista un pat茅 de h铆gado, pero result贸 ser una crema vegetal muy ligera y con sabor a frutos rojos, creo. Me encant贸, no s茅 exactamente c贸mo se llama pero estaba muy buena. 隆Ah! La selecci贸n de aceitunas tambi茅n estuvo genial, me gustaron todas.
Yo me esforc茅 un poco al servirme el primer plato, quer铆a tener un poco de todo a mano para ver que era lo que m谩s me gustaba y despu茅s repetir xD algo que hice con menos detalles de emplatado, y eso que repet铆 muchas veces jajaja tanto que fui una de las se帽aladas por tibfox para irnos al rinc贸n de los que segu铆amos comiendo cuando empezaron las charlas. Oops.
Este bonito plato de tapas improvisadas fue concebido desde un principio para hacer este post. As铆 que obviamente me tom茅 un momento, antes de probarlo todo, para sacar unas fotos que le hicieran justicia al esfuerzo de nuestro anfitri贸n. Ese momento no pas贸 desaparecido en medio de tantos bloggers y los comentarios al respecto no se hicieron esperar.
Tambi茅n algunos Hiver intentaron ayudar a crear un fondo para la foto que diera a entender de forma m谩s explicita el lugar en el que est谩bamos, incluy茅ndo mi ID de la #BuzzParty2024 , la revista del anterior #HiveFest que nos regalaron los chicos de@hiq.magazine y, como aporte de
@arcange , su tarjeta de negocio como desarrollador de la blockchain de #Hive.Muy modesto 茅l.
Adem谩s de ello, hubo un divertido momento en el que@artakush y
@louis88 se acercaron para demostrarme, seg煤n ellos, como un verdadero profesional de la fotograf铆a har铆a una foto realmente buena de ese plato. Quiz谩 alguno con m谩s precisi贸n que el otro, estando en una batalla entre la c谩mara de un tel茅fono m贸vil y una DSLR. 隆Me encantar铆a ver los resultados de cada uno! Todos nos re铆mos mucho, por lo espont谩neo de la broma.
Speeches
So while some of us continued eating, we started the 4 hours of talks about Hive for which most of us signed up for this adventure. I'm not going to go into details because I think it's great that through the @buzzparty account we will start to have at hand the recording of each of the presentations, so I recommend to be attentive to their publications in the coming weeks if you want to go deeper into the topics that were discussed.
What I will point out is that we had several types of speakers, all of them talked about very valuable things and with a lot of enthusiasm, although I found it interesting to see the corporal expression of each one of them.
Some were a bit more serious and conveyed the passion and determination with which they defended their projects and the importance of all of us getting more involved in blockchain. Others were more relaxed, calmly explaining the topics they had prepared for us. The last couple seemed to me the most energetic and emotional, with a powerful speech that helped us to wake up from the concentration with the previous talks and to keep the mood up both at the beginning and at the end of the event.
Presentaciones.
As铆 que mientras algunos continu谩bamos comiendo, dimos inicio a las 4 horas de charlas sobre Hive por las que la mayor铆a nos apuntamos en esta aventura. No voy a entrar en detalles porque me parece genial que por medio de la cuenta de@buzzparty vamos a comenzar a tener a mano la grabaci贸n de cada una de las presentaciones, as铆 que recomiendo estar atentos a sus publicaciones las pr贸ximas semanas si quieres adentrarse mas en los temas que se trataron.
Lo que si voy a apuntar es que contamos con varios tipos de exponentes, todos hablaron de cosas muy valiosas y con mucho entusiasmo, aunque me pareci贸 interesante ver la expresi贸n corporal de cada uno.
Algunos estaban un poco m谩s serios y transmit铆an la pasi贸n y decisi贸n con la que defend铆an sus proyectos y la importancia de que todos nos involucremos m谩s en la blockchain. Otros fueron m谩s del estilo relajado, explicando con mucha calma los temas que hab铆an preparado para nosotros. El ultimo par me pareci贸 de los m谩s en茅rgicos y emotivos, con una potencia de discurso que nos ayud贸 mucho a despertar de la concentraci贸n con las charlas anteriores y de mantener arriba el animo tanto al principio como al final del evento.

Sweet side
But hey, even though we were there for a long time listening and discussing very interesting ideas, we didn't fail to take advantage of the minutes between each of the presentations to continue enjoying the catering, because in addition to all of the above, tibfox made sure we didn't miss the sweet side.
I discussed at length in a >> previous post << the love I unfolded during this visit to Hamburg for franzbr枚tchen and how much the Schanzenb盲ckerei bakery had to do with our event.
I know I wasn't the only one excited about the dessert part and I'm also sure @anna-newkey can attest to that, besides the nice conversations we had that day, I'm sure this bun has united us strongly hahaha so I share with you a picture of the two of us with the happiness we had just before saying goodbye that day.
I don't forget that we also enjoyed an amazing @coldbeetrootsoup that day but I have a lot to say about that and will save it for the next post.
Pero 隆hey! aunque estuvimos ah铆 mucho rato escuchando y debatiendo ideas muy interesantes, no dejamos de aprovechar los minutos entre cada una de las presentaciones para continuar disfrutando del catering, porque adem谩s de todo lo anterior, tibfox se encarg贸 de que no extra帽谩ramos la parte dulce.
Habl茅 detenidamente en un >> post anterior << de el amor que desarroll茅 durante esta visita a Hamburg por los franzbr枚tchen y lo mucho que tuvo que ver la panader铆a Schanzenb盲ckerei con nuestro evento.
S茅 que no fui la 煤nica emocionada por la parte de los postres y tambi茅n tengo por seguro que@anna-newkey puede dejar constancia de ello, adem谩s de las agradables conversaciones que mantuvimos ese d铆a, estoy segura que este panecillo nos ha unido fuertemente jajaja as铆 que dejo con muestra una foto de nosotras dos con la felicidad que ten铆amos justo antes de despedirnos ese d铆a.
No me olvido que ese d铆a tambi茅n disfrutamos de una incre铆ble@coldbeetrootsoup peeeeero, a ese respecto tengo mucho que decir y lo dejar谩 para la pr贸xima entrada.
...
@tibfox you rock!!
Well yeah folks, we ate a lot in Hamburg, if this is something that could worry anyone, let it be known that anything organized by the great @tibfox will guarantee you almost unlimited food hahaha he really went out of his way to make sure that most of these expenses were sponsored by
@valueplan and I can guarantee that in this event, the distribution of the sponsorship was very well managed and clarified at every point.
In addition to that, we cannot fail to acknowledge, even if it is reiterated, the effort and commitment shown by tibfox at all times, during every aspect related to the Hamburg BuzzParty 2024 and with very little help.
You are a very committed person, loyal to your beliefs and with a charming smile that has managed to show us the genuineness of your intentions. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting yourself go through such a stressful process to share with all of us part of your city and your customs. Thank you for creating a nice space where we can all share together. You are such a great guy!
Pues s铆 se帽ores, comimos mucho en Hamburg, si esto es algo que pudiera preocuparle a alguien, que sepa que cualquier cosa que organice el grandioso
@tibfox les garantizar谩 alimentaci贸n casi ilimitada jajaja realmente se esforz贸 mucho para que la mayor parte de estos gastos fuesen patrocinados por
@valueplan y puedo garantizar que en este evento, la distribuci贸n del patrocinio estuvo muy bien gestionada y aclarada en cada punto.
Adem谩s de eso, no podemos dejar de reconocer, aunque sea reiterado, el esfuerzo y compromiso que ha demostrado tibfox en todo momento, durante cada aspecto relacionado con la Hamburg BuzzParty 2024 y con muy poca ayuda.
Eres una persona muy comprometida, leal a sus principios y con una encantadora sonrisa que nos ha logrado transmitir la sinceridad de tus intenciones. Te agradezco de coraz贸n que te hayas permitido pasar por un proceso tan estresante para compartir con todos nosotros parte de tu ciudad y de tus costumbres. Gracias por crear un espacio agradable en el que compartir todos juntos. Eres un gran tipo!
