@kevinwong - Even in your sleep-deprived and not-so-alcohol-deprived state, you have managed to put together quite a list of observations and mental connects!! You certainly have a brain big enough and would not yet need an upgrade for years to come in my humble opinion
I have read articles and about Steemians you mention but your writeup gives me a feel of having met them somehow - perhaps because you have succinctly mentioned what value add they brought to Steemit and to the Steemfest interactions.
Thanks for the update. I hope I will get to experience it all some day in some future Steemfest when I gather enough rep and SBD to make it there.
