:D I won't know anyone either! But I've gotten to know a few people through the roadtosteemfest posts and I love the feeling I can wave at someone and say 'hi you wrote about... tell me more' :-)

You're very ambitious to go even though there's a lot of arranging with your family and such - hope you'll get a few hours sleep. Just spend a few good hours at SteemFest and don't worry about staying up late... You'll have fun for sure :D See you in a little more than a week!
