I second that @blewitt should go to steemfest. As far as steemit users go, he is tops. He is active in a growing and underrepresented comics community here and immediately became a valuable asset. He has been generous and wiling to learn and wanting to grow day 1 despite already being a business owner (of a comic shop of course). He has given value to STEEM itself by accepting it as payment for comics and collectibles as well as promoting STEEM and steemit at conventions. As a long time steemit user and a member of the comics community, I feel the NEED for someone to represent us there, there will be plenty of crypto experts, lifestyle blogs... but what steemit needs is to be entertaining. That is what comics and @blewitt offer.

You couldn't give the ticket to a more deserving person.
