SteemFest3 Updates - New Ticket Giveaway - Updates - New Names added (8!) and our very own Hardfork!

in #steemfest5 years ago

Last weekend it happened, it was 10 AM in the morning and my gf started to feel some cramps. Then 1 hour later the cramps were frequent and somewhat after noon we arrived at the hospital, only to have our daughter (hardfork 2, codename velocity (thx @gtg), nee Wyne (Wee-nah)) to be welcomed on 2PM to planet earth! All is well with mom and chick, she is very relaxed and her little brother is the kindest ever. So that is all very welcome.

On a side-note, I got dead-sick with an intense stomach fever earlier in the night. Not very recommendable when your gf is giving birth and you are supposed to support her :) She kindly asked me to "BRUSH YOUR TEEETH!" when I was puffing along with her, oops. Oh well makes up for a funny story.

Anyhow, here in NL we get some government subsidized help with cleaning and first time errands due for the baby in the first week after giving birth. The woman helping us out is the kindest, experienced and very helpful so I could actually do quite some work for SteemFest.

So what was on the list this week:

  • Worked on requirements for the Wall of dApps rollup banner expo in the breaks area, showcasing many of the apps from the Steem ecosystem. There are still a couple of spots left, if you have any questions about them, mail me [email protected] - Deadline for print is 19 october however!
  • Worked on the goodiebag for the event. If you are attending SteemFest and want to distribute anything useful for all attendees, you are welcome to have it inserted in the goodiebag. For this you need to have your insert / swag at Qubus Hotel by Wednesday 7 November 12 AM latest at the SteemFest desk.
  • As reminded time and time again, the hotels are as good as sold out and the deals are closed now. If you are lucky you can still find a spot, but in my calls with both INX Design and Hotel Qubus I was informed most probably due to yield pricing room rates will be going up, although they still try to match the SteemFest rates, or at least a discount compared to rack rate. Alternatively I suggest checking out Booking.com and Airbnb.
  • Made a signup form for airport transfers, which you can book via our partner which also supplies transportation during the event (airport transfers are not included in the SF ticketprice unfortunately) signup via: https://goo.gl/forms/SFKyr90QVX7d5Cal2

Reminder: Art at SteemFest looking for your best work!

Just like the previous two SteemFest editions this year Art At Steemfest is going to happen in the weekend dedicated to works by the arts community. It is a pop-up art gallery with artworks by Steem-users. This year the venue is a multimedia expo room on walking distance of both hotels. By using this 360 degree projections sphere there will unfortunately be no actual prints to be made, but the upside is that we have virtually unlimited place for artworks thanks to this rotating all-around-you animated projection gallery!

If you have a (digitized) artwork (photo, painting) you want to be considered for the Art at SteemFest pop-up art expo during SteemFest, please follow this form to share your work.

Ohh, ohh man! Congrats to you and your Fam... I guess the Little Princess already has a Steem account! ;)
Cheers for this!

I am so excited for this trip, starting to think about ideas of what i will do in my downtime and things to pack for my trip, this is really great to help people get there....thanks for what you do

Another mini you : )

One more family member to enjoy holidays in Alentejo!
Congratulations! Try to get some sleep!
See you in Kraków.

Unfortunately my parents sold the place in Alentejo after 18 years. Last time after SteemFest Lisboa was my last time over there :(

BUT! They stayed in love with PT, and found a new nice place... Near Arrifana - so I will be checking that out most probs early next year :)

See you in Kraków!

I spent part of my vacation last summer near Arrifana. I went there to check it because I'd never been there. I was in a hurry but I felt a lot of potential in the place!

My guess is you'll like it!

cheers!

It's a giiiirl - Congratulations to you and your girlfriend, Roeland! 😍

Sometimes I wonder how you're able to manage all those big projects at the very same time. Seems that Superman wasn't just a movie character... Thanks for your dedication!
