Steemfest updates in case you missed it!

Woo-hoo! @roelandp announced yesterday some nice good news!

You can now but tickets from the new site. Did you check it? It looks smooth! ( no pun intended! ).
So tl;dr:

• You can use crypto or fiat to get your ticket!
• Some guests already announced, some returning, some new. MORE to be added.
• You can book a room in the amazing hotels reserved for the Fest. Did I mention they look amazing?
• The weather in Portugal is great
• The @firepower crew is excited and can't wait to welcome you all. Did I mention that I'm going to help again this yer?!

Let me just say that I have great hopes that this year it will be even better. Forget the great hotel, the city, the guests, the conferences, the food...well., ok, enough reasons already :)
BUT! Forget about all these, SteemFest is about STEEMIANS! That's where the magic happens. Last year I was pleasantly surprised by everybody, had the opportunity to meet and greet and hang and drink with some people that I knew and a lot I did not and I do not think I'd have had the chance to every meet them. People that are so far out of my "bubble" that are almost invisible in my day to day life. It was amazing!

This year, we already know each other better ( we had one more year of Steemit/chat/ etc) + we already know each other in real life. I expect with most to just pick up where we left it of :)

On a final note: Good luck @roelandp on your Kite-surf challenge and please give us a link to donate for the charity :)

PS: Am I a bad person to be most excited for this guest?! @pharesim, how does it feel to have a famous dog?
