@jeffreys-show 8th July 2017, Mosteiros, Azores Explores Steemit with @shla-rafia

What a busy and fulfilling time the last days were.

One of my best new friends here, Jeffrey also known as Fernando from Jeffrey's Show or @jeffreys-show gave me the chance to combine crypto promotion with his music. Actually Jeffrey's Show are several people and you can see them standing next to him in the pics and video.

I got complete freedom, nobody told me what to do and of course it was a success. I managed to film, show a slideshow in Portuguese about Steemit and crypto, collect donations for the artists + sponsoring and bringing them sodas while handing out Smoking papers with the blog of Jeffrey, the address of Steemit and my name on it. From time to time I relaxed a few minutes, arranged the footage or puffed on the dynamic cone.

(Video length: 1 minute)

The dancers didn't come. The keyboard to program the lasers didn't work and Jacob who was about to accept Steem Dollar in his bar was unable to register in time. It was anyway nice but I want to say sorry that I promised too much.

The box of Smoking papers is half gone (around 25 pieces). Almost everyone wanted them. For the kids and non-smokers I had little flat and rainbow colored wood pieces which I bought in the Casa China together with the hat, glasses, chairs (which I didn't need), fly, pens and balloons. I wrote the same what I wrote on the papers on the wood.

My total spendings were around EUR 100. I am sure that at least 1 or 2 out of the 25 people I explained Steemit to will sign-up. I talked to a few shopsellers too and will now focus on getting the small "supermarket", the restaurant where I had limpets and two other bars into good new money from the Internet.

I have the feeling that the islanders first wanted to see me in action. Trust takes time. Now the way is paved for the first pioneers besides @didosabino and @islandjohn.

There was a problem with the video program and that's why I am typing at 06:30 in the morning. The birds are chirping now and I have the satisfaction of knowing that I am about to send this post to your screens. 

Unthinkable how my mood would have been if it wouldn't have worked. Nothing sucks more than material which should be published but isn't. I like to go forward and that's exactly what I will do now. Go straight to dreamworld and maybe imagine that my post will be on trending after I wake up.

It takes practice, honesty, willpower and confidence to convince people with everything where money is involved. I got what it takes to playfully introduce people to crypto and I need your support to get the attention of the majority of Steemians so that I can expand and realize new ideas to bring value to everyone.

Thank you and see you around :)
