Last year on Steemfest 2 in Lisbon, I noticed a lot of people handing out business cards, I still have a few tucked away in a memento box. I of course didn’t have any cards of my own, since I’m not running a business, but I thought it was nice to have something tangible from a person you talked to.
For the past year, on most Sundays, I do a set of Sunday Polaroids, that are always self portraits. I’ve had a bit of a break with them but I’ll get back to it soon. I have accumulated a huge stack of them and for a long while I had no idea what to do with them. I even asked you if you had any ideas, and a few suggested that I should sell them. It’s kind of an okay idea, but I don’t know who would want to buy them and if someone did, then I would have to be mailing them out and I’m lazy.
Then an idea struck me. I would use them as my business cards! All I would do is put my username under the picture and that is it, the picture itself will do most of the talking. So now I’m selecting polaroids and dymo-ing(?) my username to them, which is taking it’s sweet time, but it’s kind of fun. I’m not sure yet how many I will make, maybe 50+, I know I won’t be talking to every Steemian attending Steemfest so I won’t make 300 cards.
All of the polaroids are one of a kinds, and some might even be rare ones that the blockchain hasn’t seen before. There are both black&white and coloured ones, some nice and some naughty. Ask for a nice one if you are afraid your wife might get mad finding it in your jacket pocket after the weekend.
OMFG! SOOOOOOOOO smart, @eveuncovered!

That's exactly the right idea. Self-portraits are what you do.

To avoid handing them out to people just put them all around the place :) they will find their owner. :)

I simply have too much work to do at the moment and two job related trips planed in the near future... plus the thought of being away from my sweetheart for almost a week is too hard to bear 😥

I guess having work is good, it's much better than not having any work. Where are the work trips taking you? Next year you'll have to bring your sweetheart with you!

Going to Prague again and then to Paris for "Art en Capital" with a large oil painting, early next year. Opening night is February 12, in case you want to plan a trip 😉. Although there might be better times of the year to go to Paris...
Most likely I might go to Belgrade shortly after that for another exhibition.
Thought about going with her, but except for the parties, she'd be bored to death I'm sure. She hardly even checks her e-mails, let alone any social network, so I guess steem talk wouldn't do much for her unfortunately...

What a great idea Eve and now I feel like I'm one of the few in the know, who knows to ask for one :-)
I already know from reading some of your posts that you may be one of the crew sat in a corner enjoying observing as much as interacting. I'm kinda like that sometimes, and I know @soyrosa is of the introverted persuasion. We can't all be social butterflies ;-)
Sometimes alcohol can flip me over from intro to extrovert but my natural inclination doesn't go that way. Anyway, look forward to seeing you, and your business cards, at steemfest 3. It's so close now I'm starting to get fired up!

Well then, one corner for me, one for you, and one for @soyrosa, the rest can fight for the last corner! but what if the room is round!?
I'm definitely an introvert, but I have the social butterfly somewhere inside me that comes out at times, usually in the evenings in a bar and having downed a few drinks...

No worries. I'll throw a paper airplane at ya with a message on it if I'm in the other corner 😂 Although, looking at the latest SF3 announcement post from Roelandp it looks like the club he booked is round so no hiding in corners for me 😉
Vodka should solve those lack-of-corner problems.

And people do have id patchs hanging on their neck, and the app has a new feature to make note of who you meet. I just want to be a little different, like alway ;) I also don’t want to be with a phone in my hand all the time, now that we have a chance to really talk to each other!

agree. Iam excited to see the difference between digital and real life appearance, even though many humans are quite frank on steemit.

Damn. Now you’re talking and that would be fantasticall given Puerto Rico‘s special tax advantage for folks living here while earning income by providing services beyond the island. A.k.a. creating a blog.
In other words it would be advantageous for Puerto Rico to host steemfest to recruit people to move here.
But ya...I’d just like to have an excuse for you to come and visit us.
