I Lived Too Much In The Moment - Steemfest Update

I know nowadays you're supposed to TRY to live more in the moment, and less on your phones and electronics.

But at steemfest, I'm not sure if I like that advice.

Looking back on my pictures (or lack of them) kind of makes me sad that I lived too much in the moment.

Quick tip: When you're at a conference for blogging, you should PROBABLY take pictures/ video so you can blog about it.

Sorry I haven't posted in forever. That's VERY unlike me.

Before steemfest, I posted every single day for 7 months straight.

But, I flew into Bangkok and immediately slept for 19 straight hours.

Had to catch up on work for my job, and now I'm trying to catch up on steemit stuff.

I'll write a post all about my steemfest thoughts later... I suspect you'll be sick of hearing me talk about it soon enough!

So for now, I'll let some of the pictures that I do have do all of the talking.

A picture says 1,000 words, right!???

I hope so...

... because my voice is basically gone after talking so much this past week 😆.

I almost freaked out and had breathing problems again on the way to Asia, but this time it would have been purely psychological PTSD syndromes from what happened on the way to steemfest.

Thankfully, @luzcypher and @world-travel-pro were there to hug me, hold my hands, and talk me off a ledge.

I'm sure @teamsteem would have helped, also...

...but I have no idea where he was and apparently, he fell asleep right away on the plane, anyway.

Then, @luzypher went to sleep, like any smart person would do...

...but I was still being a big fat baby, so @world-travel-pro talked to me a longgg time and was nice enough to let me help him improve his tinder profile. 🔥 I guess that makes him kind of a hero. Maybe that should go on his tinder app, haha.

If any traveling cryptobabes are reading this...

...you should check him out. Literally haha.

Here's me, @teamsteem and @world-travel-pro in Krakow before getting on the plane. @luzcypher was just somewhere wandering around getting water or something.

Anyway, time to share the rest of my favorite pics from steemfest.

Who am I kidding...

... I didn't take enough to actually choose any favorites.

You're just stuck with what I have to offer.

These aren't organized from any particular day. Hope you're not a Type A person who's bothered by that.

If you are, maybe we'll have to do some breathing exercises together to calm down, since I occasionally fail at breathing, too.

Anyway, peanut butter picture time!

^^ One of my favorite steemfest moments. It never would have happened if Poland didn't have such crappy pre-packaged pretzel sticks.

Or, as I like to call them, "Flavorless chemical sticks of disappointment."

A crazy contest idea was born right before this picture...which you guys will soon be seeing. It will be hosted by all of the cool kids you see here: @vikonomics , @blewitt, @celestal and @nomadicsoul (me).

No, @celestal doesn't always look so angry. He only looks angry and grumpy when taking pictures lol.

I better counteract that with a smile that could win over an entire room!

This is @aggroed, and his smile is freaking contagious. Don't you feel happy just looking at it?!? Seriously, his smile stands out in a crowd. Not only is his smile beyond amazing, he's the best dad on the planet. I found out he created 2 of the steem monsters cards specially for his daughters!

Coolest dad ever!

That pretty much seals the deal that steem monsters is even cooler than you previously imagined. Stay tuned to hear more about that story.

When you're at steemfest, your throat gets pretty dry. So you need to get @daveonarrival to be your sidekick and just grab an entire pitcher of water when nobody is looking. Just a glass of water won't do the trick. REAL steemians need an entire pitcher. Cheers, Dave. Even though the liquid/sweater babies are gone now, this memory lives on.

All that water made something AMAZING grow out of the top of my shirt! @steemmonsters cards! It's the strangest mutation. Nobody had ever seen it before!

@bubke and @bimjer were the first ones to spot this strange anomoly!!!

@soyrosa was the next one to spot it, and immediately said, "I want to grab your boobies right now."

And @elizacheng, who was nice enough to capture this moment, said, "Oh good, I'm not the only one that's attracted to them." 😆

I died laughing a little bit.

Here we go from laughing to the doctor in Krakow. Ok, so I'm still smiling. But I promise it's not at @anomadsoul's pain.

It's mostly at the fact that it's super weird that TWO Nomad Souls were at Steemfest, in Krakow, Poland, AND had to go to the doctor on the same day.

Coming soon: A post about two nomad souls at the doctor in Krakow. Don't worry, we're both on the mend.

@jarvie at the restaurant we were going to eat at with a group of steemians. "Going to" because that was restaurant number 2 we got rejected from.

Guess we were just too steemy for them to handle!

Jarvie stayed zen about it, though, as you can see.

In some venues at steemfest, the lighting was kind of dark. So my pictures suck a little. Ok, so I can't really blame the lighting. It's definitely user error. But even though this one is blurry, I like it so much because we're all laughing in the moment.

Capturing candids is my favorite. Thanks, @hr1 and @guchtere for making this picture suck less with your genuine laughter and funny facial expressions.

This one is from karaoke night. @connecteconomy @misslasvegas @future24 @datristan and I had a blast.

For now, I'll have to end this with @honeydue. More pictures to come... but I need to sleep another 19 hours, so you'll have to wait.

Thanks, @honeydue for all the laughs in the salt mine. Not pictured: @tarazkp and @celestal who are the salt mine laughter sidekicks. @tarazkp left his camera though and our group had to split before we could get a crappy selfie in.

Steemfest was better than I could have ever imagined!!!! Thanks again SO much to everyone who helped get me there!
