image by logo contest winner @edxserverus
Only A Few Weeks Now!
And we are eagerly counting the days until everyone gets to meet face to face! It has been quite the struggle putting this together, I'm not going to lie. Some wanted this and that and backed out of the equation altogether. Things change, accepting it is sometimes difficult, but it happens. New faces appear in the midst and we'll chalk it all up to fate playing its hand. Fun will be had, shiny things will be seen, and many faces will be in attendance. About time to get this party started right?
Loose Schedule
You may be asking yourselves, besides hanging out and 'partying' all weekend, what exactly will we be doing? Good question! We've been trying to decide the way things should go, giving ample time for people to just socialize and get to know each other on a more personal level. So, here's what we have (loosely) planned and, as you know, things don't always go how you want them to LOL!
Thursday
- People will be coming in and we will have an informal meet and greet at the mansion for those with enough energy to attend. (Snacks may be provided if Witty doesn't eat them all.)
Friday
- Breakfast! It's the most important meal of the day! (for those that are up that early - ha!)
- Mid-morning we will have @mariannewest kick us off with the @freewritehouse. She is welcome to give a presentation on how they came to be, their goals, etc., and we are really looking forward to having a live #freewrite - with actual paper!
- Lunch Time!
- Words With Witty on @ramblingradio hosted by @shadowspub featuring a few live guests!
- @steembasicincome's representative(s) will come forward and fill us in on their vision and (hopefully) we can get a live feed with @josephsavage.
- @enginewitty will spill what #thealliance is, is about and their future plans.
- @adstoshi will share with us exactly what @adsactly is, their history, and goals moving forward.
- Dinner and free time (Group activities are being looked at)!
Saturday
- Breakfast! It's the most important meal of the day! (for those that are up that early - ha!)
- @dreemsteem telling us about her vision with @spunkeemonkee and maybe, just maybe, we'll have our own treasure hunt!
- Lunch Time!
- We will attempt to have a live No Limit Snook'em card game prior to the #monsterraffle #mr4
- @raybrockman doing a live pour and introductions for the Monster Raffle.
- Dinner and free time!
Sunday
- Breakfast! It's the most important meal of the day! (for those that are up that early - ha!)
- Farewells and adieus
How To Purchase Tickets
@enginewitty will be taking payments for tickets in several ways. Contact him on Discord (same name) and tell him how you want to pay. You can use STEEM or SBD and send it right here through this blockchain. You can also use BTC, LTC, BCH or ZEC, just ask @enginewitty for an address. All cryptocurrency prices will be referred to from CoinGecko. He will also use PayPal as an option and there is always an alternative route if need be. Just talk to him, he's pretty easy going.😎
Sponsors & Guests
Obviously, things like this cost money, and as our personal budgets aren't the world's largest, witness @enginewitty (currently ranked #89 on Steemian.info and head of The Alliance), has been reaching out to people and communities to seek their support in making this happen. These are all communities he associates with on some level, helps to support in various forms or fashions and are -he feels- also heavily vested in the future of STEEM. This list is mostly complete now, and we still may have room for a few more.
- @adsactly - ADSactly has been a supporter of The Alliance almost since its inception. One could say that @adsactly is @thealliance and @thealliance is @adsactly. They love that we have been supportive of them as well and we all agree that the #steem #blockchain is one of the cryptosphere's best kept secrets. They run a witness (currently #54) and have been helping to secure the chain for ages. They already have several things in mind for a presentation and some beautiful things to unveil to the people in attendance! They really are about community and we thank you for your commitment! Stop in to their discord sometime and say hello!
- @ssg-community - #steemsilvergold 'pirates' and The Alliance family have always meshed well together and there is a strong crossover of members from each community. Upon speaking with @raybrockman and @thedamus, there was a big 'Hell Yea!' involved! Be exciting to see some shiny people there! Thank you for your commitment and contributions!
- @spl - After speaking with @bethalea, she was all about having some representation for Lucksacks and the Steem Poker League. Thank you for your donation and love and fervor for helping move forward with this! Looking forward to my deck of cards with that sweet ass on it!
- @freewritehouse - This is a treat for anyone that wants to expand their creative hand. @mariannewest has committed to helping sponsor and come up with a few fun activities for people. This is a very unexpected and appreciated gesture as there were multiple communities and people asked that had far deeper pockets and more time on their hands that declined - many thanks! I look forward to a live #freewrite activity!
- @oracle-d - Though unable to actually attend, @starkerz has agreed to help out in various other ways and be a sponsor of this event, so we thank him heavily and will be spoken of and thought of fondly throughout the process. Did you know they were a witness too? (currently #80) They help so many people, maybe stop in with your extra vote?
- @guiltyparties - Good ol' Guilty has come forward and will be throwing some things together for us! He is also a witness (currently #64), representing multiple communities including the veterans here on the chain. Very happy to see this long-time blockchain enthusiast offer what he can to assist in our endeavor. Word has it, he is sending along a little surprise for our goodie bags!
- @nainaztengra - She has been a long time supporter of #thealliance and we are happy to call her smiling self 'family'. Thank you sweetheart! We really appreciate your contribution!
- @thecryptodrive - He has given a healthy donation to the cause! Thank you sir! He is a stellar witness (currently ranked #10!) Be on the lookout for DLease and the exciting things they will be bringing to the table to help out Steempeeps!
- @josephsavage - On behalf of @steembasicincome, he is supporting us with 100 SBI bonus units (for @thealliance) and 2 bonus units for everyone that attends, and then 5% bonus units on all enrollments from our attendee list that come in the first 30 days after the event. How sweet is that!
- @brisby - Such a sweet soul on this lady! She has given some of her hard earned STEEM to help further the cause and we are ever as grateful to you as we are any donations received to make this happen for everyone! Thank you Briz!
- @eonwarped - What a wonderful surprise to see one of @helpie's go to guys step up to the plate with his own personal wallet and donate some of his earned rewards from the blockchain! We all thank you sir, totally unexpected!
- @dfinney - The new lovely mod over there for the @ssg-community has unexpectedly donated from her own pocket! You realize, you basically bought yourself a ticket, right? Many warm thank yous, truly.
- @saffisara - With her golden heart, or is it silver, not sure, but it is a treasure to behold the generosity contained in this woman - thank you!
- @blocktrades - Many thank yous for endorsing this and helping out with your massive whalepower! Their witness is (currently ranked #4) and they also have been working hard to instill the Proposal System and we thank them!
- @patrice - An unexpected donation from one of our other witnesses on chain (currently ranked #63), she has our gratitude! And thanks for helping so much behind the scenes!
- @steemflow - Stepping to the plate with some of his hard earned SBDibbies, 'Yaddy' has sent a donation to help the family cause, many thanks my man!
- @katrina-ariel - Being the sweetheart she is, #thealliance Princess has gifted us in a beautiful way!
- @thealliance - All members of the family that consistently support everyone in the fam - you are appreciated!
So Thankful
For all the people/organizations/communities that have agreed to help us out and give what they have been able to. It's going to be real fun, I promise!

It's going to be soooo much fun! Can't wait to see those I know, and meet those I know but haven't met, and get to know those I don't! Thank you for all your amazing work pulling this together, @thealliance and @enginewitty!
This is going to be so much fun! I hope I can come, if not, I'll have to hang with you and sing to y'all another way. ;)
Hope you can too Princess! 🤗🤗

This sounds like a lot of fun -- I can't get there, but if you all put out what time the paper freewrite is happening, maybe some of us can join in that way, photo our results, and add to the fun!
The cover looks like something from the 90s! :D
You're all going to have such a great time! (Next time I'll be coming with a TON of jerky and a wagon full of party squirrels.) Thanks for the lovely shoutout!
