Back from SteemFest: My own impressions + freewrite + A night of Steem + lots of selfies and random pictures

in #backfromsteemfest5 years ago (edited)

Yes, Yes I know, more SF3 posts (still?) By the end of Steemfest someone pointed at me in the final drinks/farewell and said: Look that's the chick with the hats and the rats. Probably they didn't remember my user name but the hats and rats made an impression...

I know, you've been reading too many SF3 posts already. I had only shared my fufunchis point of view. Now I'm sharing my own.

I will follow "loosely" new @anomadsoul freewrite challenge but I'll add more to the pot, as I think SF3 posts by now are like an endless hangover, I know... but still getting over the infamous Steemfest flu (by the way check there is even a song about it by @steevc)

For some laughters you should visit my previous post where l I already shared Steemfest through the eyes of my three plushie rats Fufunchis who actually stole all spotlight from myself hahaha during this trip... aren't they sassy? if you missed their adventures there you can visit this post:

A night of Steem

I have to say everyone was so amazing, such an eclectic mix...
@Greencross is superfun and we talked in Spanish a lot. We're in touch!

@katrina-ariel and @Ed-Privat make my soul feel warm... so talented

Collection of pictures with fellow steemians

Just a random selection, probably will go on comments thanks to your contributions. :). I don't have pictures with everyone, because I was so absorbed into making pictures for my "ratties" project I forgot... and probably engaged in conversation the others as well... So here the selection is pretty random, there were people I would have loved to meet more in depth, and people I did but we forgot entirely about snapshoting... But here a selection of candid shots... sparks, and moments!

I was so looking forward to meet @camuel We have been friends over here for a long time so it was really nice to meet and even jam a little bit together.

Above: picture of me with @greencross (electronic musician/dj/label owner) courtesy of him... I was sporting by then the SF3 black circles... proof of the intensity of it hahaha :) who needs to sleep anyway? there was no time!!! Thanks so much for the laughters and the company! And the encouragement to start vlogging!

Thank you @reggaemuffin for the welcome, your interest in my music and for my super exclusive pin :). :)

I have to say that Katrina and I stumbled upon each other and we knew right away, not only we matched our colours almost every day (by magic) but the overal vibe was very fae. She did amazing in her performance... And her dragon and my fufunchis became besties from day one!

Above: Me and @evecab from Vegans of Steemit, we have been in touch a long time and it was lovely to meet

Gorgeous sweet @coruscate. Picture is hers. I don't even remember it was taken... she's a pro. By the way thanks for your encouraging words about my performance, mean the world to me. :)

yidneth_aggroed.jpg
me with @aggroed We know each othr mostly from sounds of Steem and PAL

Funny thing I struggle with faces a lot but I saw this smile and I said @soyrosa And not that she usually posts many pictures of herself at all...it's odd how brain works... one of the sweetest smiles at the fest... she's just so cute!

I borrowed this picture from @rhondak (@noblewitness / @tarc ) :) I love it... She was actually among my first SF hugs and I am happy we had more time the last night at the Salt Mines dinner :).

Got coffee from Team Malasya, and they borrowed my hats for this geeky picture... Glad we had a little time to chat last dinner... You can always buy my soul with coffee you know :)

Community pictures: The Alliance and Helpie

I'm both active in @helpie and@thealliance so It was kind of a mission I had (same as updating helpie with my fufunchis pictures)

The Alliance Group picture:

Visit @thealliance

The helpie group picture

This required more coordination but you get what you get, helpienauts were a bit more scattered when having to take a group picture, and still we had to do rounds :) hahah @hedac is not in this one cos he took the picture.

Helpies at SteemFest 3 - by_.jpg

@abh12345 @meno, me @evecab and @llfarms (@hedac and fufunchis were taking this picture)

And here a picture with @luzcypher from @openmic I wish we had taken a group picture as @katrina-ariel @steevc and @camuel were around, but you have to be grateful with what you get... I got a fairy deal of hugs and we found each other again to say final goodbye at the airport. Thanks for the conversation and the insights.

My favourite steemian: Juka

I could pick so many names, I have returned full of love... but not to compromise myself making lists too long or too short, there is one that stood out and conquered my heart:

juka fufunchis - by Priscilla Hernandez (yidneth.com).jpg

Above: amazing @jukatravels with fufunchis and myself

So many people I met and I'm not aware if I have a decent picture with them somewhere... but not less amazing because of so...

Any picture with me? Drop it in comments... Let me drain my minnow voting power! hahah!

Unless the picture is ugly, then you can keep it...! LOL
Hahahah I was chatting in the bus back from the Salt mines with fellow musicians @greencross and @camuel I lost track of the amount of sudden selfies while eating or doing awkward muppet silly things with the rats... I don't care anymore... better deal with it...! hahaha

Picture with the most steemians in it

I may have a picture with you... let's check!
This one applies at @anomadsoul request of picture with more steemians in it

steemfest3 - by hector Corcin.jpg

And to say good bye some typical touristy pictures taken by @hedac on our many walks through the city, cos we walked a lot... we walked until I got blisters while walking, you know there was a lot of cake, and cookies, you had to walk! :) Too much cake

Funniest picture

For me all "fufunchis" pictures were funny, I had a great time taking them all but I think one of the most hilarious is this one.. check them all on my previous post though, they took over my feed and wrote their own ratty chronicles of the fest. So these are the toilets at Alchemia pub... remember if you're in a hurry they don't make it easy!

Check Fufunchis own post at:

Most embarassing moment

A few... but probably when I was before soundcheck because I'm short sighted and the light was to red and dim I didn't see the step and I fell full front face on the floor in front of the dining table. Poor @edprivat thought I had broken... and well like in Queen's song "Show Must go on" I forgot all about it and performed but the day after I sported really nasty bruises on my knees and I had a very sore arm for the rest of the trip. The way I fell was muppet like, I mean, I was wearing fairy wings and all but they didn't work! :/

Second was that I was on the boat having fun with my muppet rats, taking silly pictures and well, being muppet me (I'm a Jim Henson fan you know, the Fraggle Princess I'm called) so I saw this quiet gentle man close by and engaged in conversation, I think he saw me with the ratties and I cannot recall what I said, just that I talked to much and probably I was too silly, then we scanned badges and he was @blocktrades I muttered... can I reset this conversation? Thought of my muppet rats and any likely silliness in my candid conversation for a brief second blushed and went shy. He patted by back and said, you're fun! it's ok! He was the kindest and I got to say thanks to him and his wife for their support in several of my posts. They told me it's probably their daughter, but anyway, grateful and happy I got to say thanks. You would think I would have talked of different things but well maybe it was best it was just me. :) Thank you! :*

Wtf picture

sun.jpg

I think it's an accidental shot of the candles at Alchemia pub (fufunchis were too wasted, they don't remember) or maybe the Sun exploded and engulfed the Solar System, I don't remember that either.

And hopefully...

I don't know how... but hopefully...

next year.jpg

Some kind of magic
His geeky side

You were very sweet, thx

I think a lot of people are delighted to read your point of view too!
Thanks to you and @hedac for the wonderful time, I hope you found time to rest and kick that flu's ass!
You guys are rockstars :)

Saludos dados, nos vemos seguro.

YAY! Love these pics and memories. I think the Steemfest posts will be coming for a few more days, and I say bring them on! Makes my heart glow to think of all the friendships that were made and deepened, the funny moments, the touching ones... Such a week full of love and laughter. I'm still recovering, but absolutely looking forward to the next meetup and Steemfest4! Hugs and heart smiles, song sister.

I don't know even how it could happen but it was way unexpected this time already and you know, expect the unexpected, and embrace it, :)
we didn't get some quiet time to sing together something....
we need to fix that
so until next!

katrina and Pris and fufunchis and dragon - by priscilla Hernandez (yidneth.com).jpg

YES! Next time we sing together. Or maybe we'll have to arrange something from separate corners of the world. ((hugs))

Of course... surfing back to reply messages, still dealing with the luuuuuuuuuuurgy! Hugs no singing anytime soon for me

So delighted @yidneth that you and @hedac got to go to Steemfest and to meet many of your dearest steem friends, and no doubt strengthen your friendships. You guys deserve only the best. Great post and pics! Thank you :)

Aahhhh I'm so glad that you shared more of your adventure in SteemFest! You look like you're having a blast with so many people, and I like looking at your photos because when people are happy, it makes me happy too xD.
                       
You're going to make the witch hat a trending item by the looks of it. Maybe next year SteemFest is going to be called MagicFest instead kekeke.

After fufunchis my recap might look sparkless, but I had a great time on my own

I love your performance at Night of STEEM 🤗

Posted using Partiko iOS

Awwww thank you so much😍😍

Great pics! Wish I could have been there to see your performance!❤️

And I wish I had been there to see yours!

Hey @yidneth, now that I found your Steemit account here like finally. Sorry that we didn't catch up in SteemFest but I hope we will catch it up on SteemFest 4 😂.

I'm either late or went off early cause I've missed out your performance that night 😭 so sorry about that but I'll make sure I will be on the next performance on SteemFest 4.

My fav is that is not a toilet🤣🤣

Posted using Partiko Android

hahha it was literally in the ladies room, you would get in to the toilet and then inside there was this door and the other (that actually led to the toiled) still... they don't make it easy hahhaha

Vemos que disfrutastes muchisimo amiga, excelente. Espero ver algunos videos

Haha gracias, aquí estamos con la gripe, que andamos todos con ella después el viaje. Creo que te hará gracia el anterior post, me llevé mis tres ratas de peluche e hice todo fotos con ellas en todos lados, ahora en comparación mi propia experiencia parecía menos interesante hahaha :) Creo que roleandp grabó la actuación, hay algunos trozos circulando pero hay mucho ruido ambiente y no se oye nada bien de videos de móviles, al ser un club en el que todo el mundo habla pues hay mucho ruido de fondo.

Hi Priscilla! I love hearing about your steemfest encounters! It sounds like a very fun and magically wonderful event. It's awesome you could be there! Awesome stuff sweet beautiful friend. All the love! 🐭🐀🐹

It was indeed fun and very intense, and we are still gathered by the tendrils of the infamous sf3 flu and blues hahaha :) I was more focused in taking pics of the plush ratties (previous post) so I forgot to actually take decent shots with friends still I gathered (and still gathering) a bunch.

It was great to meet you and such a shame you got the flu too.

You can see me at the back of the big group shot waving my ukulele

Yes I know and @techslut and @mrlightning and others... I was then a quiet observer enjoying you all. Yes, the flu has been bad on me as my immune system is a bit compromised I got a full blow, still not over it... I come to steemit and check in waves, I'm surfing now back because I'm missing to reply tons of comments.

Get well soon

The Steemfest Flu is real. I'm still struggling with it, too.

you too?? oh my I need to track the source, I'm counting already 20 people affected like we ALL got it XD there's even an open mic song this week by @steevc called the steemfest flu... lyrics are really hilarious, painfully real! LOL

Does he have that song posted? I'm headed off to his blog now to look for it.

The first night I was there, I encountered a very sick @anomadsoul in the Qubus lobby. I'm quite tempted to blame him. LOL

oh I love those pics of us!!! I wish we had more time to talk, especially in a more quiet environment =( but hey hopefully in another setting next time =) Big hugs!!!

I honestly don't know where and how time flew so fast!

barely a drop of rest, but it was fun, and different from our usual holidays!

Nope. Not getting bored st all of seeing SF pics. Keep em coming folks. Lol

SF3 is very alive on me... the SF3 flu has settled in quite cozily hahhaha :)
well I had shares the ratties point of view, thought to share my own
Now I wish we had talked a bit more... btw saw you're now on helpie! careful, too much cake!

Sorry you got sick! I’m totally surprised I didn’t but super thankful. Hope you are feeling better soon. I do wish we had a bit more time to nerd out together but we have a year to prep...let’s get cracking!!!

Eat some Helpie cake...that’ll help. 😉

It's a nasty bug this one, still very sick after an entire week :/
if I can eat helpie cake without caughing welcome be LOL
Aww yes, but guess really there was no more time, it flies, you stumble RANDOMLY upon people (see how random our five minutes were hahah at least it has a fun back story to remember). I don't know anything about SF4 I can't even imagine myself affording it but well going to SF3 was already super unexpected, so never say never until next, whenever that's be... maybe around in a comic or geeky convention...! LOL I go to some of those hahaha

I'm still sick, too, Yidneth. This bug is a souvenir neither of us wanted or needed.

What an absolutely gorgeous soul you are and so many lucky people getting to meet you.
Best wishes to you and you really captured Steemfest like no other post I've seen.
Will tootle off to find some of your music to listen to now :-)

Aww that is sweet,if you check previous post you will find my official recap was kind of "different" 🐀🐁🐁
And thanks for the compliment. It was very intense but worth and for the most part people I knew were just as expected.

It was very intense but worth and for the most part people I knew were just as expected.

This is so true. I've been going to meet ups with people and groups from online communities Ive been a member of for 15 years and if you feel that connection with them online, you find they are normally the same in RL.
Hopefully I might get to SF4 :-)

Yes, one now and then of course is gonna cause a disfavourable impression, let´s not be naive not everyone is is who they are on internet, but curious thin, most MOST are exactly how you imagine your friends to be, and then it's curious how you just go on along with coffee... :) I've been also to several meetings. Yes, hopefully, well I got lucky this time and I won a raffle to go, otherwise I could not afford, but who knows!

Gosh you are such a gorgeous spirit and a gorgeous person doing gorgeous things * ___ * I am glad to see you had a lot of fun and met so many wonderful people <3 Love this post, @yidneth <3

Wow - I love this post! I love 'our' picture as well! :D Can't believe we were able to meet - for a long time you were not coming, and suddenly you were! You're a beautiful person and a true artist <3 Hope the price of STEEM is in such a way you'll be able to attend next year as well :-)))

I agree with Yidneth about your smile. :-)

You fell TOO? I fell twice, both times out of the barrel booths at the first venue on Thursday. I'd gotten a little to cocky and left my cane at the hotel. That was a mistake I didn't repeat, at least until closing drinks when I forgot where I put it. Oddy, I didn't fall that night. Hmm. . .

Steemfest 3 was incredible. I will always treasure the fact that I got to share some of its moments with you and the Fufunchis. :-)

It is so cool that so many people got to hang out and meet! I am really looking forward to next year. I'm going to try really hard to be there! Hopefully I'm not completely broke by then ;p
