Is Krakow a Coincidence?
Steemit Inc Giving Away Tickets?
I find this insanely ironic. They recently announced they were giving away 5 all expense paid trips to Krakow, Poland for Steem Fest 3. I find it comical because 4 days prior, I didn't just post about wanting a ticket for the event, or saying why I should go, but even titled it 'I Should Get An All Expense Paid Trip To Krakow For SteemFest 3, Why?'. Obviously, because I'm Batman. If that isn't enough well then, um, ya.
Seriously Though
That's around twenty grand out of pocket on Steemit Inc's or @roelandp's or @blocktrades' dime (not entirely sure who is footing the bill). I have to respect that. Even if I don't win, it's a great way for them to give back and honor those deserving STeeMPeePs that have been dedicated to the blockchain. And believe me, there are a lot! You have any idea how hard it was to choose only 5 people to nominate? Just within #thealliance alone, there are over a dozen musical artists. People like @hardikv, @yidneth, @isaria, @katrina-ariel, @grow-pro, @inthenow, @zipporah, @krazypoet, @tygertyger, @donatello, @thedamus, and even myself. Comedians and spoken word? Artists? Insane all the names I could have written. But they're on the chain now. So far, here's the tally of people I've seen (assuming all the votes are valid and not including their own bid upon nominating others):

Maybe I'll See Ya There!
4 days left on the contest. I think the gif says a lot up there, but in case you haven't figured it out, I don't believe in coincidence. Everything happens for a reason, sometimes it doesn't make sense and we can't see it at the time, but things do happen 'conveniently' in my comic book world. Does this mean we all have a predestined future? No, it means that if you choose the right option, beautiful things can happen. Like the Butterfly Effect. STeeM oN my PeoPLeS! Oh and uh, in case you need some reminding, REMEMBER TO BE YOU! (I always am.)

Oh my god I had no idea I was doing so well, I have directed noone to nominate me honestly because I fear to travel alone, also to perform I'd rely on the organization to rent a piano, mic and reverb for a minimal set but I can't carry my harp (soft case) or piano on the plane obviously. But being provided a system to play backing tracks and a keyboard and microphone I can handle a decent set. Still I would fee more confident with my partner cos as I say I have a fear of airports and travelling alone. I have got disorientated a few times :( Most importantly I have this fear of travelling multistop without @hedac and had no idea I stand a chance, I don't know what to do, should I jump in and cut my wings, or should I just be brave and figure it out later... Hector is encouraging me to go and I have a few doctor appointments but i'm in time to move them out...
Not cutting my wings still, I'll see what happens and figure it out later. No way I can afford a trip for my partner, not even sure if he can go off work so many days, trying to get used to the idea I might have to go alone or skip the chance... just found this out right now. Been a bit off the loop the last few days!
I'm nervous about travelling alone too, @yidneth, but if we're there together, it will all be alright. :) Sure hope we get to go! I owe you a lot of hugs and some cascading laughter, my friend.
Are you bringing your guitar? If we coincide May I borrow it? I'm even hectic thinking I would need someone to hire a keyboard (cos you can't fly those or I can carry them around), a mic and a reverb and I can handle. I would consider my harp but my case is soft paded and no way I see myself carrying it and a case. I always travel with @hedac cos I get disorientated easily. The hugs cascade sounds enticing though. I kind of self boicotted myself and didn't even participate in any of the contests fearing this, but now that I have a chance I just find I simply want to go and meet my friends and I'm mentally trying to find out (if it would happen) how I could do it (at least get there, and get back) hahah then I would be plaguing my friends, it's the transit that scares me a little and the fact it's hector who actually does my sound, though I require no fanciness... just a keyboard and a microphone.
I’m hoping someone can hook us up with guitar and sound gear. As for getting around, I’m just as nervous, but if there are a bunch of us I know we’ll be okay. Honestly hoping @enginewitty wins too just so he can be my bodyguard. 😹 Sire would feel more comfortable if I have good friends there with me. But for real, it would be a dream come true. 💞🤗💞
Well I'm not even checking at the moment, don't want to have much to think until it's sure hahah (anxiously nervous) same here, I don't think I can travel carrying luggage and a harp specially cos my case is softpadded, but I can manage with backing tracks or any keyboard provided as long as there is a microphone with some reverb to it. Still I'm talking as IF it's going to happen... my mind resists a bit. Whatever happening yes, feels better knowing there are people you know there. :)
@yidneth @katrina-ariel if you guys get to go, don't worry!!! You won't be traveling alone. You'll be with other steemians! AND it won't be as scary as it seems. You'll be impressed with how badass you are once you figured out how to get around.
Locals around you will always be willing to help direct you in the right place
Aw you're sweet, I'm not taking the thing for granted either, but there is a possibility for both of us now, and it would be sad to miss the chance if it's there... so far I'll see on the go.
Few more days and we'll find out Pris. Exciting, ya? Would kick so much ass to see you perform live😍🤗

You NEED to be there. And just remember--you might have to fly alone, but you won't go alone. You will be surrounded by family at all times. :-)
Thank you Rhondak, I was totally unaware XD
DOOOO IIIIITTTT!!!!!
well I do not even know still if I'm in the case of winning it... I've kind of not voiced it much, now that I know I have a chance all I want is to go but I have fear about the trip. Not there, there I know I'll be among friends, just the transit... multistop flights. I mean I'm the girl that gets lost in parking lots. LOL
For real?! You counted them all up. ;) Of course you did.
Thank you for all the support you've shown me. I sure hope we have an Alliance family reunion in Poland! It would be AMAZING to perform for y'all there. SO much love. :)
\0/ Sooooooo excited to see some of these names in Kraków!!!

Well those are some deserving nominees for sure, all I ask is some one please make a vlog of the trip, I would totally put something like that together if anyone wants me to go with them I'll be there camera man. Haha good Idea anyway. I'm waiting for steemfest in America maybe would be easier for alot of steemians to make it. Glad to see you very close to win batman my man. Be well bro

All I can say is that if I get to go, I won't let any of you guys down with my presentation on stage with GMuxx, nor will I let the sponsors of the contest down. A full on family gathering? HELL YES. I get happy chills just thinking about it.
I really do hope you all get to go to Krakow and YOU deserve it Witty 🤗
Cross my fingers and will try mind control to make them put your name on a ticket 🎫😉
I wish that was possible.
I do hope that all go in and nominate you tho and the others. Great people deserve to go.

Hope your wish come true!
