HiveBeeCon more than a gathering

Did you hear about what happened this past weekend?

There was a meeting, yes… the @hivebeecon! Most of the hivers that assisted in the meeting were making some noise in the platform in order to get as many peeps as possible… and it seems that all together… made it happen!

The great idea.. can I say it?? Was from @gtg to make a gathering in Krakow this last weekend, it ended up being a great success…
We got to meet faces that we met at the Amsterdam Hive Fest last year, but we also put faces to some users that we have been following for months now, as well as some new hivers.

Believe me, when @growandbow told me to go to Krakow in between travels, I was totally in, but also a bit worried about how we were going to manage to do everything… in the end, it was totally worth it!

When I say more than a gathering, I mean it. It is not just people meeting and exchanging… it is to feel home within each other’s conversations, it is the curiosity of understanding where others “come from” and where you meet in the middle. It was also a great exchange of cultures..

What I love the most about this encounter is not just meeting the people behind the screens, it is how genuine the conversations are between us.
We are there to listen, to learn, to exchange.. and from my point of view, with no pretensions.
Thank you 🙏🏽💜

For those who are curious for more… here I come with my version of what we did.

@growandbow and I, drove from Berlin Friday night, to be at the salt mine Wieliczka in Krakow at 10:30
Still hard to believe, but we made it, and we could be around and awake the whole day.

The first one we meet, this tall guy, long hair, with a HIVE vest.. who could that be? the great @gtg!! There, gathering the peeps, all so correct and organised (😜) was lovely meeting you again.
Immediately, I was SO HAPPY to have met @mipiano and @ph1102 in person finally, the hug with her felt as if we met before and made me feel so home! As well as with @ph1102 that it took me some time to connect him with his account 😅 Mazin had to help me with this :P

The mine was interesting, I didn’t believe the guide when she told us that we were going to go down more than 300 steps. Not only was true, I have to say that I enjoyed the guide and her sas during the whole tour.

The view down of the stairs

The thing in the mine that mesmerised me the most was the story of the three brothers who carved all this figures below and how they NEVER worked together! Once one of them wasn’t able to work, then the other would take his place.

I don’t know if you can appreciate it in the photo, but the depth of the sculptures was amazing.

This photo is at the elevator!! how tinny it was :P

For lunch we sat next to @blindspot and @priyanarc and @mipiano, @ph1102 , between crepes and chats, we ended up having some exchanges (sometimes quite intense) about what’s happening today in the world…

Through all the topics, always enjoying the diversity of cultures that we are part of.

The more the day passed by, the more we could connect with other Hiveans!

How good it was to share real moments with @livinguktaiwan, @delishtreats and her husband, @zirochka, @edje … every exchange felt short but it opened a vast of opportunities for next encounters.
I was also gladly updated and put into context of Hive history with @lemonycricket and @m31, some time it was so much information and so new for me that I was concerned if I would remember it all! I’m very grateful for your patience.

Later at the kingdom (@krolestwo), I got to know @hallmann and heard in person about the project that is on the go behing this charming place.
(Please have a look at the profiles of those who I mentioned to see the details and treasures that the place gathered, I ran out of space on my phone and I didn’t take any more photos)
Later on, I met another Spanish speaking person from the community! The gorgeous @evelynchacin and her coming baby :) after that, I got lost on chats with @phortun and @deepresearch really nice guys!

The most expected surprise of the night… I had the luck to sit on the first raw on the concert of @mipiano, not just that I enjoyed a lot, but I wished she would have played more and more! It was so pleasant to see, hear and feel the years of expertise and mastering of the piano.. thank you 🙏🏽

Unfortunately, we left the event earlier than wished since we had a long journey, but Sunday we met again and shared more stories.

Lunch was at Veganic resturant with many hivers that stayed one day more ( I have to say that Mazin and I loved it so much that we went again in the evening 🤭)

Quite chill days Sunday and Monday, since was quite cold. We finished our stay meeting again @mipiano, @ph1102 and @edje and sharing some nice food and amazing drinks :P

That photo with all of use hiding is indeed the best one made during the whole weekend 🙃

Like you, I just scanned the posts before I made mine. And then I see myself locked behind my screens for a few hours already to read all the others' posts. HIVE takes time, for sure 😆

Hahahaha indeed!!! now it’s my time to see your post, is never too late :P

that to cool thing of blockchains, they may be there forever, therefore plenty of time before attending to (certain) posts 🙃

It was nice to meet you and @growandbow!!! I'm glad that we had a chance to spend some additional time with you guys at days after the event!

As well as with @ph1102 that it took me some time to connect him with his account 😅 Mazin had to help me with this :P

Why is that? I'm different online than offline. Or it is because I look too old in real life? 😂 🤣


I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project which will be highlighted in the next post!

😂🤣 IT just created a slogan in my mind.

Too old for real life. Stay young online.
A virtual virtuoso.

I guess we are all kinda different online than offline - and vice versa, isn't it?

Hehehehe... as my niece would say... "Getting old sucks" 😂 We will live forever online! Thanks to the blockchain tech! 😃

Hahahaha I didn't know you were the husband of @mipiano 🙄😳

Yes, he is Mr Mipiano :D

🤣🤣
Mr Supiano

🤣

mira, mira, hablamos español 😂

And yeah, it was the best that you guys stayed longer really!

Oh, that! 😂 🤣 Many people didn't know that, so no worries... I mean, we didn't keep that a secret, but we were parts of different communities here on HIVE, so nobody made a connection for a long time... 😀

Hehehehhe cool :P I don't feel that bad then :p

Thank you very much! 🤗

This is my fav photo from all the set :P

Mine too 🤩

Maybe a guessing game who is who in this silly photo hahaha. 😂 My husband is writing his post too, I think there is photo when we were not hiding 🤣

It was aMAZINg to meet you and Mazin on Monday for pizza and cocoa stuff, apart from all the great time we all had together in Salt Mine and in The Kingdom, and Sunday lunch and everything! Everything! 😍

I had the luck to sit on the first raw on the concert

I como me decías otra, otra...Te debo la de Time. 🎶🎹😉... When I play it, I will record it for you. {Promise not promise, as I don't know when it will be}

🤗

Hahaha I love it! There is cross information between posts :P let's see who guess!
And yes please, I take it, me debes la de Time :P I’d loooove that

😇 🎶 It will come in it's time haha :D

🤗

Espléndidamente!

Ooh me encanta!!

Beautiful photographs! There are Meetings that are unique and their memories transcend time. good day!

Isn't it?? I love also to immortalise those moments in photos and posts :)

The first one we meet, this tall guy, long hair, with a HIVE vest

I have his photo with the shiny Hive vest in the dark. I forgot to add it to my post. I will ask his permission and will post it.

It was lovely meeting you and getting to know you. I was more of a listener during lunchtime when the conversation happened. Very intellectual discussion I must admit. I hope to see you guys again. The coffee looks delicious and really cool photographs...

Yah would be lovely to see this photo, so iconic!

Same, I am happy to read this words, I hope next time we find some time to exchange more :)

Definitely, it was just the beginning of our connection...

We went back to the restaurant too! 😂 What time did you go there? We came just after 7PM, but I didn't see you...

Hahahahhaha don't tell me 😅🤣 really??
I just checked when I took the photo...it was 18:38 so it feels like we just missed each other! Oh damn! bad communication there 🫣
I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and hopefully we can share a meal together soon :)

I love to see the perspectives of our shared adventures. For example, we enter the same room but sense the environment and people different.
And I enjoyed reading your perception about te HiveBeeCon and encounters.

Never replied to you O.O! Sure, I love how we see the same things.. completely different <3
