0.000 HBDSteemfest has arrived - I'm on my way!
The day has arrived, it's time for Steemfest! 😁 <center>  <sub><b>Guess who's got the screaming child in front?</b></sub> </center> And a week of posts from the telephone, oh the joys of typing with thumbs. I suspect my average word count per minute is about 7, so I just want you to know that I'm trying, even though these are going to be some shorter pieces this week. Also, if you are after charts or numbers, you are in the wrong place for now. I'll mostly be reporting from the Fest with a selection of un-cropped, out of focus images, but hopefully with something of interest also. The sun is out here in Palma, Majorca this morning, and I was even greeted with a rainbow on the drive to the airport. Reports from Krakow say the sun is out there too, and this would be a big bonus for the Island guy who, unless it's 40+ degrees, crosses the road to walk in the sun. I'm traveling 'eco light' today, which means hand luggage only with a max of 8kg. That pretty ungenerous even for hand luggage, but I've made it with a bag that weights 8.35kg. That'll have to do, I can't remember the last time my hand luggage was weighed... A pretty relaxed atmosphere at the airport today. The summer season is over and so it's a lot quieter than last time I visited in early June. Security and baggage checks took no time at all, and all you can really be grumpy about is the ridiculous prices of food and drink. €3.65/$4 for a bottle of water, just because you can't take liquids through, come on now! This caught my eye on the walk to my gate, but for the most part it's shops, shops, shops - all selling ripoff priced water.  Something I do have to keep me company is @steemmonsters. And my team is on a bit of a charge at present, climbing rapidly up the league table. I find that after a change in the gameplay, it's possible to rise quickly until, I'm guessing, the bot players adjust their cards. Yep, there are even bots on @steemmonsters - why click 'battle' when the machine can do it while you sleep 😑 Anyway, my current card picks have ability, but are a little inconsistent. Check out this recent result.  And then I'll go lose to a 2800 level player. I'm happy there is a reasonable degree of chance in the game. Sometimes the stuns don't work, sometimes there is no retaliation. These subtle actions make the games varied enough so that you can beat a player convincingly, and then get your ass handed to you just a minute later. Hopefully I'll collect some free cards again this season, and I wonder how many attendees will be trying to sneak a few games in during the conference days. Perhaps not that many if there phone is like mine - a game of @steemmonsters stealing 8% of my battery this morning, damn! Alright then, time for the first flight of the day, Frankfurt the destination. I wonder if anyone else attending will be on the flight. Oh yeah, a quick mention of the Steemfest app, useful for attendees and those wishing to check out a live stream - not that I've seen this mentioned, and watching via the app. through clicking an event would be sweet...  See you later, safe travels, and have a nice day all! Cheers Asher
