From the 'engaging' mind of @anomadsoul, comes a way for people to stay linked a bit after the event. He requests a few things to help make it a little fun, and I promise, this is the last post I will make about #steemfest3. I actually have pictures arranged to do two others, but instead, I'm going to make this one nice long blog entry and hope a few people can get through the entire thing.

I was trying to get a picture with the blockchain wizard, @gtg, and @derangedvisions came in and bombed us. You can see me looking at the reflection as he jumped in, was pretty funny. Cracked me up after looking at the pix. Thanks for posing with us :P

Honestly? I don't typically get embarrassed about much of anything. I tend to roll with the punches but if I had to choose a specific case? Was when we were getting on the bus to the bowling alley. @alexvan knew exactly who I was without seeing my name tag and I had no clue who he was. The voice sounded familiar, for sure, but I felt like a total ass because I didn't know until he showed me his tag.

This actually doesn't have a whole lot to do with SteemFest itself, but I found myself drawn to this bridge a few times over. I finally asked the locals what was the deal with it and they explained about how Father Bernatek had compassion and sacrificed a lot of his time and life into getting a hospital built. That inspired people to show their compassion and love and once it was remodeled, people began announcing their love for one another by locking their hearts to the bridge and tossing the key into the Vistula River. The thing I really loved about it, aside from all the love found already, was the sculptures that seemed to dance as people walked or rode across. Genius artistry and architecture.

That was taken at Hogwart's - er - down in the salt mines prior to eating our farewell dinner. Not entirely sure on the head count, but had to be around 300. I like that #thealliance fam all sat together, was an endearing meal.

I don't really play favorites, but I did meet a lot of new people that will hold their friendly value for long after SteemFest. One of those is @hedac. He is @yidneth's go to guy and rock. Found that as we walked together, we are pretty similar the way we see things. I also got to hang out with @ura-soul a bit and learned some things I never knew about this multi-talented comical cat. He was throwing jokes out that I normally would, totally going over my head, LOVED IT. Another I hit it off real well was @greencross, was like we already knew each other. Of course, @edprivat and I had a great time! Other people that left a great impression were @yabapmatt, @llfarms, @meno, @nomadicsoul, @crimsonclad, @ned (yes, he didn't seem like the press made him out to be and I think we could have some good chats) and finally, @roelandp and the crew he brought with him - Vince and DJ Streamdick bwahahahaha! Anytime fellaz, I'm game.

Shit, I wouldn't trade this for almost anything. Seeing so many actual faces all gathered together in one place for a common goal? That is powerfully potent on the soul. If you need(ed) motivation to keep STEEMING ON, just look at all the posts out here about people connecting and really enjoying their experiences on and off the chain and displaying them here on the STEEM chain for everyone else to witness. I'd say that ranks up there with the best thing since cheese on pizza.

The money over there was really shiny. I took a picture of these as I was going to include them in my ULOG: STEEM Silver Round Got Krakked! post for the #steemsilvergold clan. I never did learn what they were made of though. I'm leaning toward some aluminum alloy as they were insanely light for coins.

I'm going to cram a bunch of photos in here of various people I got to get shots with and other random things I just wanted to share. I'll try to break it into a couple sections to show some sort of organization. Let's start with:

I was totally going to make this like 3 separate posts and suck out a few extra STEEM but decided against it. To everyone I met, you rock, there wasn't really a person I didn't like. I would have loved to have talked to @ned and @roelandp some more. Thanks for bringing me out fellaz, won't be forgotten. If anyone has a chance to attend any kind of meet-up, do it. Doesn't matter how big or small, community is community. Get to know those behind the glass whenever you can, you won't regret it. STeeM oN my peoples, and REMEMBER TO BE YOU! I always am, even in Krakow.
