Back From Steemfest Thoughts

The funniest photo I took

My face looks kind of funny. Kidding. Except I'm serious about how it looks when I don't sleep. I look like an alien. Insta-alien for the win.

I didn't take this photo, but @el-cr said it's the funniest photo HE took.

Since it's of me...

Can it count for me, too?

Thanks, @yabapmatt for making this happen.

@steemmonsters is beyond epic.

The most embarrassing situation you were involved in

I don't get embarrassed too easily, so it's hard to say on this one.

What COULD have been embarrassing...

...taking sandwiches and sticking them in an empty envelope from Amazon.

Thanks, @llfarms for bringing me stuff from Amazon!!! Even the envelope came in useful for smuggling sandwhiches out of the conference room... who knew?!

@Anomadsoul and I offered them to our taxi driver on the way to the doctor.

He said no.

Maybe because his mom taught him not to take sandwiches from strangers and a sketchy envelope.

Wise woman.

@anomadsoul guilty by association.

But hey...the sandwhiches kept us strong for our doctor visit!

Your new favorite Steemians

This is like asking me what my favorite fruit is, or my favorite country I've visited. I like so many of them for so many different reasons.

I'm going to define NEW as people who I had NO idea existed before going.

As in, hadn't even seen their profiles before. Which disqualifies @adetorrent, @coruscate, @teamsteem, @jeanpi1908 and some others that I got to know on a deeper level.

As for people I had no clue even existed, I'd say my new favorites are:

@jayna @blewitt @jarvie

I'd pick more, but I guess I'm limited to 3.

All of you guys are freaking awesome, though. Let's be real.

Your overall experience about the whole event.

Let's just say I'm addicted to Steemfest now, and I don't want to detox anytime soon.

Literally, every single person was just as awesome as they seemed to be on their blog- if not even cooler.

It's SO cheesy, but I have to say it 'cause it's true-

By the end, we really did start to feel like family.

I'll never forget how so many people came up to me asking if I was ok and if I'd been to the doctor yet. I felt like I wasn't alone. Like I had friends from the very moment I stepped off the plane.

A lot of cool new opportunities came up for me as a result of going.

I wasn't even in search of anything, really. I was just there to meet some smart, like-minded and fun people. I had no agenda other than that, yet somehow good things fell into my lap.

Words can't even express how grateful I am for my experience.

I'll never forget the memories I made with amazing people.

I've traveled a lot, done a lot of things, and been to several conferences.

This by far makes the top of the list.

@roelandp thank you again for working so hard to connect us all!! You've definitely impacted many of our lives forever, so it was worth it.
