Road to Steemfest: Shout Outs!!

We're getting closer to Steemfest!! I'm pretty excited, but I know I won't fully feel it until I'm actually there. Being a parent, planning a trip without the kids is never 100% guaranteed to happen until I'm actually already there, because of possible family emergencies and what not.. Anyway, I hope this trip is truly meant to be, because I absolutely want to be there. AND there's only 3 weeks ish left to go!!

This week's #roadtosteemfest is all about shout outs and tagging. I have a few Steemit friends turned Close friends who are also going, and I absolutely cannot wait to experience Steemfest with them!! I am preparing my mind, spirit and liver :P

So let the tagging begin!! Here are most, if not all of the people I hope to catch up with or meet for the first time.

The awesome peeps from my beloved London Steemit Community who are definitely going:

@teodora - Fellow Steem sugar who I've come to love and treasure as a friend. Looks like we are also going to be roommates for a few days ;)
@adetorrent - Seemingly annoying and "Nigerian Prince-ish", but secretly very very kind. I promise I will dig up my Lomo camera, so we can get our Lomo on in Krakow ;)
@gillianpearce - The hardcore and thoughtful commenter AND super awesome grandparent. See you there!!!

@rea - Fellow Chinese Steemian/awesome person! Been amazing getting to know you and @ezzy more and more, thanks for the Steemfest pep talk! Can't wait :)
@ezzy - Steemit writer/gentle giant! Very interesting taste in music :P
@nanzo-scoop (I'm pretty sure he's going!) - Fellow Steem parent, and one of the biggest and most consistent supporter to so many on the platform!

The awesome peeps I met and/or got to hang out with at the London Crypto show earlier this year in April:

The peeps I met at @steemcamp earlier this year:

@llfarms - Super kind and community minded, love your energy, and would love to meet you!!
@meno - Have always had so much respect for you! Can't wait to buy you a beer/wine/whiskey/whatever your drink is :)

And of course @anomadsoul! Thank you for doing #roadtosteemfest! Having followed you from the early days of my Steemit journey, I have always remembered you to be extremely kind and community minded. I've loved lurking and watching you progress on the platform! Can't wait to buy you a drink!

And a shout out to a few beautiful humans who sadly won't be coming (unless they change their mind last minute!!) but will be very missed at SF3! @meanmommy33 @immarojas @allasyummyfood @ultravioletmag @rod.crisafulli @colossus39

I may not post much, but as you can see, I LOVE meeting up with other Steemians, it's been my main way of interacting with other Steemians, and I can't wait to do 5 days of that in less than a month!!!

Can't wait to meet you all there <3

Much Love from Red
