unfortunatly as things look at this moment I'm not able to go. we're in the middle of selling the house, looking for a new one and combined with work it is going to be a tough cookie.... Really to bad but I think for now the right decision... Nevertheless I'm looking forward to the stories, pictures and stuff of Steemfest and I think it will be a great event....

Maybe in the beginning of the new year a small gathering in the UK ;) Besides all the other great Steemians you and @steevc are first at my list to meet in person :)
