Road to Steemfest - I'll be there!

Yesterday, I was mentioned the first time in one of the "Who do I want to meet at Steemfest?" shoutouts. This made me realize that only a few people actually know I'm coming, especially because, until September, I've been insisting I wouldn't come. But things change.

During my Europe tour, especially @gandalf kept bugging me to attend, and after many discussions and a lot of planning, @reggaemuffin and I decided to come to Krakow in November.

Sadly, we'll have to leave early on Sunday because of work and lectures ... but that's life.

Wednesday till Saturday, you can find and talk to me!

Now, who do I want to meet?

I've seen several people do a shoutout, listing all their favorite people to meet. But ... having already attended two steemSTEM meetups, and traveled through Europe meeting several of my favorite Steemians, I must say there's not a specific person I want to meet.

I want to meet everyone.

Do you want to meet me? Leave me a comment, if it's your sworn goal to meet me, so we can ensure that it works out.

During my Europe tour, I was passing out a bunch of pins, like this:

I made exactly 50 of them, some were also passed out in September during the 2nd steemSTEM meetup in Florence/Pisa. After returning home from that, I dumped the rest - as I wanted to keep them something special.

Passing them out was super fun, as there were several people who immediately pinned them on their backpacks (@alexdory) or shirts (@gandalf, @bachuslib) and kept them there. Because of this, I decided to make a new set of pins specifically for Steemfest 3:

This time, I made 100 pieces. And again, the ones not passed out will be destroyed upon me returning home.

What you can get upon meeting me:

• One of the pins mentioned above. Ask me for one!
• An answer to almost all of your questions
• Probably a hug
• If you promise to not post it on the blockchain, a selfie
• A chance to tell me how much you hate/love me
• The opportunity to complain about the ending of one of my stories. Only one. Pick wisely.

Hope to see you at Steemfest!
