Ready? Go.
Okay, so I am not yet 100% sure (90% at this point) whether I am going to make it to Steemfest 3 but, I am going to join in the freewrite challenge organised by @anomadsoul until I know for certain in the hope that even if I am not able to go, others may get inspired and join in the festivities. @roelandp is organising again and if from what I heard from SF2 is an indicator, it is well worth the trip for those that can afford to head on over to Krakow in Poland.
For me personally, the major challenge besides the financial side (ticket price is still uncertain) is my baby daughter. Due to her particular food allergies, it means she is not able to travel at the moment and that means, leaving them home. This is a big step for us if I do decide to go ahead and attend. I would love to go though which means, @momone will have to love me enough to let me go. As they say though,
"If you love somebody, send them to SteemFest3"
so, I am in with a good chance.
My main reason for attending is to see the who will bomb in the standup but other than that, I have made quite a few friends on Steem who are likely attendees and it would be great to put faces to their ridiculous account names. Of course, I am also interested in finding out more about the coming changes and have a feeling that SMTs/Communities are going to play a very heavy role in what is on offer. Yes, that is the same as last year but we are getting very close to release and perhaps the timing would be perfect.
There is another reason too which is more personal for me and that is that since January 2017, I have put a massive amount of time and energy into my Steem Journey and have done very little else other than work, family duties and many hospital visits. I think that getting out there and actually meeting more of the Steem community face to face will be a healthy step forward for me personally and help me become more connected with the community, which has been my goal for the last year at least.
It is going to depend on a lot of things at this point but I am relatively confident that I can pull it together if I do the work and no more major surprises arrive on our doorstep. Poland isn't that far away from Finland and no one knows where SF4 will be. Australia would work well perhaps @roelandp ;)
In a few weeks ticket prices will be released and we will know more again about the possibility but for now, count me in.
