RE: Living Vicariously Through My Hive Feed ('Fest Memories)

in #hivefest7 days ago (edited)

Looking at those photos are always a double-edged sword for me because so many of those people are no longer on the platform. Some people just got burned out and others decided to stay with Steemit after the hard fork. Being there in person is truly euphoric, it's the closest thing I can imagine to being at Woodstock in the 1960's. It would be wonderful to meet you too, Nancy! We would have so much to discuss. To my immediate left is Doug Karr, he's a film producer I worked with on the Netflix series we were creating and beside him was Andrew Levine who was on our team as well. Both of them have left Hive. I still talk to Doug occasionally, he usually flies into town a few times a year because he has relatives here in Minneapolis. I wish you a wonderful Thursday!

It is Doug Karr. I remember I started following and reading it because of you. Too bad so many talented people are gone. Anyway, a nice day to you too. Hugs.

P.S. You should dust off more of these photos!

Yep, he's still making movies. I know! We did have some amazing talent back then but so many of those folks left when the value of the coins diminished and it wasn't as lucrative. Hugs to you as well! Good idea, I think I might create a couple photo montages for YouTube with 'Fest memories.

The beginning of everything!
I loved the cobblestone streets of Lisbon, its tiles. Was there a Fado concert? Which of Lisbon and Amsterdam did you like the most?

Yes, exciting times! We didn't hear any Fado when we were there. I don't think they had any music at any of the official events and we didn't really go out to any of the bars at night. My favorite part of Lisbon had to be just walking the streets at night. We found a great little pizza place and walked a few miles from the hotel through lots of old neighborhoods. The city really came alive at night. Sintra, Portugal was probably my favorite part of that trip. It's a smaller town about an hour outside of Lisbon. I'd like to go back and stay in Sintra. It would be difficult to choose a favorite part about Amsterdam, there's just so much there to do and to see. You could go back 100 times and not experience it all.
