This pic was at the tailend of the closing drinks. I had brought some “special comics” that I wanted to give away through some zany and wacky way. That didn’t happen so I just ended up passing them out to the fine folks that I happened to be talking with before heading out. 
Hive account@fredrikaa who I sadly only got to speak with a few minutes, the always flawless 
Hive account@llfarms, a super hammered looking 
Hive account@guyfawkes4-20, the ever so lovely 
Hive account@honeydue, a tired 
Hive account@abh12345 after running across the room for a prize I threw, and your favorite dried fruit loving maniac... 
Hive account@celestal. Amazing people that I am honored to call friends!
I think this will be my last detailed photo post on SteemFest. I took a ton of pics as you can see, and I wanted to try to write as much about the little experiences I shared with a bunch of you. You can check out the previous posts below if you wish.

MY ROAD BACK FROM STEEMFEST
https://steemit.com/steemfest/@blewitt/back-from-steemfest-a-quick-take-by-blewitt-ef13247e376f
Let’s just jump right into it...
The 14 year old girl in me was all sorts of giddy to snap a pic with the beautiful and fun 
Hive account@courscate and one half of the absolutely hysterical 
Hive account@steembirds, ladies and gentlemen...the one...the only... 
Hive account@dan-atstarlight.
Hive account@honeydue and I are proudly showing off our pin “flare” while 
Hive account@evecab thinks she’s too good for that childish nonsense. In all honesty, these 2 are some of the most real people around. I had such great experiences with both of these clowns. Lots of laughs were shared and new friendships were formed, and for that...I am thankful.
I was able to share a beer with a fellow by the name of 
Hive account@jonching, just to find out we live an hour away from each other!!! Looking forward to when we can meet up brother! He is the brains behind the Q&A platform that we should all be using... 
Hive account@musing! Oh...and Hive account@guyfawkes4-20. That fucking “guy” shows up everywhere...I thought I saw him in my backyard last night peering through the curtains.
Say cheese! 
Hive account@raj808, 
Hive account@cryptogee, that fuckin guy again, a timid 
Hive account@honeydew, and fruit meister flex Hive account@celestal all taking the time out of their busy evening of drinking and yapping, just to appease the selfie whore in me. Hive account@cryptogee and I had a phenomenal night on Saturday where we talked for hours. We covered an insane range of topics and it was one of, if not the most interesting conversations I had with anyone at SteemFest. Step up yer game folks because this man is the gold standard of babble. You mix him with myself who already doesn’t shut the fuck up as is, and we will talk about dirt for an hour and be engaged on a level you couldn’t even begin to fathom.
I forget who it was, but someone told me they overheard people talking about the comic I popped into everyone’s bag and dragged one of those fine folks over to me. Low and behold it was Mrs. 
Hive account@blocktrades! She thanked me for the comic and I told her a bit about it. Such a lovely woman and I hope we get a chance to speak more next go around instead of finally meeting at the end of the event when I was 12 beers deep.
When 
Hive account@nomadicsoul isn’t busy pocketing hot hourderves to snack on later and to keep her warm, she’s busy...well...wrapping up pastries in napkins to munch on later like my grandma does at the dirty buffet. That’s pretty much her thing folks. Oh and wearing gross moist socks days on end. (Ripe!) Most importantly she’s making everyone around her smile as she’s by far the funniest person I’ve come across in ages. By the way...she snorts when she laughs and doesn’t even get embarrassed like most women do. Rock on mofo!
Then there’s 
Hive account@anomadsoul who is just the nicest and kindest guy you can imagine. He is also insane and loves to party!!! I had a blast hanging and bullshitting with him and am super grateful that he was so inviting towards me. He’s the life of the party and I know this is going to sound super fanboyish but...I was super excited and nervous to meet him and he couldn’t have been a cooler dude. Invited me to dinner with the gang shortly after meeting me in person for the first time and that helped open up a ton of other doorways. He is what we should all strive to be on this platform. Mexican!
Hive account@steemmatt and I had the pleasure of spending the commute home back to the states together. We bonded over mediocre airport Burger King in Budapest and discussed our personal lives a bit. I learned a lot about him and I’m honored that he opened up to a piece of shit like me. He even text me tonight to see how I was doing after a rocky week. Super caring dude that I’m glad to call a friend. Looking forward to getting together soon good sir. Also...I’m doing ok. Thanks.
Did you catch 
Hive account@roelandp beatboxing and spittin pure fire?!? Me neither...the only fire he was involved with was that smoking hot jumpsuit! Oh and the event which was pure 🔥!!!! Seriously brother, I cannot thank you enough. This was one of my best weeks in years and it boils down to the sacrifices you made to make this event a reality. Thank you to the moon and back bud. We all are super appreciative of the hard work you pumped into this. I hope you are recovering and taking some well needed time away from us maniacs because SF4 is just around the corner. What are you waiting for?!? Get cracking! 😜
What can I say about my dear 
Hive account@escapist that has not been said already??? She was super welcoming and was my sidekick throughout the trip. I don’t know what to do with myself as I’m still weirdly expecting you to check in with me when you get back home each night. You are amazing and I hope to come visit you someday in the land of bad hugs. Mr. 
Hive account@arcange was always fun to chat and take pics with...just make sure you wait those 2 minutes because he sure is! Thanks for the fun contest...great idea! Konichiwaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
before the last hurrah at the Salt Mines, I popped over across the street from where I was staying to a tasty BBQ place. While there I ran into the amazingly awesome 
Hive account@soyrosa who was also dining. She was meeting friends for some grub before the meetup and kindly asked if I would like to join. I politely declined as I had put off some responses here for days and needed to get to it but it was too kind of her. She’s insanely sweet and I hope we can dine together again next year and actually muck it up a bit. We did dinner together on the first night but we’re on opposite ends of the long ass Last Supper table we had going on so we didn’t get to chat much then either. See? She’s right next to Ron Weasley. Super jealous photoshop courtesy of 
Hive account@cryplectibles 😜
Rolling into the evening of bowling during dinner, I still had no team. My self esteem was in the toilet and I had the smallest piece of chicken BY FAR at our dinner table (back me up Hive account@steemmatt?). Things could not be worse! I felt like the last kid picked in kickball in grade school. When all of a sudden, what sounded like angelic music rang through my ears (probably tinnitus) and a heavenly light (definitely a seizure) revealed a kind and gentle man by the name of 
Hive account@el-cr. He came up to me and told me he was the best bowler in all of Panama and he needed to even out the teams to make it somewhat fair for all the stupid non Panamanians. He simply said he was fishing for a useless and gross individual with zero bowling or life skills. I knew I finally found my place.
Ok, so maaaaaybe it didn’t go exactly like that but that’s how I’m going to tell the story of how I met my friend Carlos because the reality of him shouting from across the table “Yo, Who needs a team?” And me raising my weak ass arm up ending in both of us nodding at each other, just isn’t as exciting. This dude is a class act and I hope I get together with him and the lovely Hive account@evecab before SF4!...c’mon Steem...do something.
I had the pleasure of chilling with Hive account@celestal a bunch during the trip. We shared a ton of stories and laughs and I loved being around the dude. By now I’m sure you all know about the dried fruit?!? If not, pop over to his page and give a look back for an explanation. Funny part is at the closing dinner at the Salt Mines, he got served a special dessert of sherbert because he’s a fancy man. What did they top it with?
Damn dirty dried fruit! It’s like the kitchen staff was mocking him without knowing. We had a laugh about it and he ate it. Along with polishing off my Brussels Sprouts a bit earlier. The dude is a human garbage disposal as Hive account@abh12345 mentioned in his SteemFest post. If you want to get in touch with Hive account@celestal, give him a follow here or just go behind any Gluten Free restaurants in Finland where you’ll likely find him dumpster diving for tasty leftover morsels. I did find it odd when he ordered a gin & garbage juice earlier in the evening...
The night and the event itself were coming to a close here but 5 days of beer farts were in full effect as can be seen. They all tried to blame me due to my last name but I was having none of that. Nobody owned up to it but I have my suspicions. Who do YOU think it was folks?!?
Yes... yes, the name 
Hive account@blewitt just screams guilt when said out loud and as the ol’ saying goes “Who Farted?!? Chris Blewitt!!!” But as you can see, I’m clearly disgusted and full of anguish.
Here we have 
Hive account@world-travel-pro. A class act...sure...but it looks as though he finds this...dare I say...humerous?!? I remember when I was 6 years old and laughed at fartsies too buddy...
Hive account@llfarms is rocking her trademark “well this is peculiar” look. Is this just to throw us off...her scent?!?
I cant recall is 
Hive account@martibis is gasping for fresh air or screaming the famous last words of William Wallace in Mel Gibson’s Braveheart...Freeeeeeedoooooom!!! What were you so free of?!? Me wonders...
Next up is a surprised looking 
Hive account@gmuxx. I see you are toasting...what’s the big celebration my dear friend?!?
Last Up is the Ever so lovely and 5th place winner of the Meet the Steemians contest... 
Hive account@lizanomadsoul. Notice Lizzy is rockin a bit of a stink eye here? Is she just THAT GOOD, of an actress?!? She did tell me it was nice to meet me, and I KNOW she was lying through her teeth on that one. The plot thickens...
In all fairness, this stemmed from a real situation that Hive account@martibis and I were in a few days prior. There was a group of us chatting for a while and he and I excused ourselves to go outside for a moment. Upon the ride down the elevator, i mentioned how someone totally boofed not once but twice and he said he smelled it as well. We laughed all the way down like children.
Okey dokey folks. I appreciate you reading through my nonsense. I do have more photos that I’ll be posting along with everything I have in one mega post. I will not be doing play by play on that one as I think I have run out of stupid things to say. Please feel free to yank whatever pics you’d like to keep or repost or whatever er creepy shit you had in mind. You were all amazing and I honestly had one of the best weeks in years attending SteemFest with you all. You guys are all my family and my house is your house. If any of you ever find yourself in my neck of the woods in New Jersey, you have a place to crash. Keep in touch you crazy bastards!!!
