I met really friendly people today. From L.A. and Maine!
How did we get in contact?
I walked out of the bar to ask someone for a cigarette and performed a new skill I've developed.
It works like this:
I get close to a person or group and start talking to myself in a slightly raised voice: 'Whenever I need a cigarette I simply walk out and say that I would like to smoke a cigarette!'.
This then makes the people laugh and the ice turns into fire.
The friendly travellers didn't smoke so we had a good conversation. I told them how I've never seen L.A. and that I saw the big highways with thousand lanes in 80's TV series'.
They reminded me of robrigo, and then I told them about Steemit.
I explained that I trust the developers and that I'm since 2013 with them and met some of them in person.
Then I explained that dan thinks transparency is the key against government control.
We made a photo while I was holding my new chalkboard with steemit.com and shla-rafia on it.
Most of the time people use their phone to make photos (of course, lol) so I cannot post them here. It's a shame :-D
Because they liked me and also because they were rockstars and extraordinairy friendly I handed them 1 pin (only a few left).
We said goodbye but I ripped it again and sang a freestyle over this 'brother, don't you know there's land to re-discover' song..
I don't want to brag but I need upvotes and therefore have to explain in detail what and how I do it. Because it's a skill which I like to be rewarded for.
I couldn't see any smokers and returned back to the bar after 2 minutes. My second coffee already on the bar waiting for me.
That is just one example. I actually had another succesful contact with a Dutch woman who, of course, also made a pic and got the mighty Steemit logo pin.
Now I recovered inside to a good joint and to milk coffees.
The day will bring many more contacts (site visits) and I'm happy about the rising price.
Happiness,
shla al rafia prœductions
