We're On a Roll and I'm Feeling Ecstatically Blessed!!!

This is our 23rd Collaboration!

OUR COMMUNITY IS NOW
82 ARTISTS STRONG

and

WE HAVE ALREADY CREATED TOGETHER OVER
384+ INCREDIBLE WORKS OF ART!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Before we begin again, I'd like to make
A FEW  INSPIRED REQUESTS:

I'm really excited about finding a way to share our creations at Steemfest2 in Lisbon.

1. I am requesting that you share with me any brilliant ideas you have to help make that happen.
   I'm considering making a slideshow as our images are already in digital format, and we could more easily highlight the hundreds of images we have in our repertoire.  Printing them would be a bit less desirable as printing does not always do them justice and may cost a pretty penny--as we have (and will have) created a LOT of images by November, but I am still open to options to make it easy or in flow.  Other ideas?
   
2. We're considering making a powerful artistic impact at Steemfest and could use some helping hands.  Are you or any artist you know going to Steemfest2 and want to be a part of making our presence known?
   
3. Do you (or anyone you know) live in/near Lisbon?  We will be greatly benefitted by having a local presence there to help with any logistics that may arise. 

I'm sure there are some of you out there who have some expertise or knowledge about these things.  Please leave me a comment if you can help in some way.  I feel it is the prime time to show the bad-assery of this community we are building.  The sooner we begin, the better.   Please give me your input!
