I would have chatted to you about gaming if I had known. The first Steemfest I went too, I felt very out of place and intimidated. Imagine 300 people all STEEM (at the time) and seeing these big names on badges.
It will get better, see you on the next one.
Yeah I too don't think I'd been able to do much at a meet of 300+ That what's great about the small ones it's easier to integrate and mingle with everyone without feeling weird about it.
