If you are a regular Steemian who opens any STEEM's UI or application several times in a day, chances are, you want to attend the STEEMFEST this year or wanted to, because now it's just not possible. Not many people can make last minutes trip to Krakow except those who can go there by car, bus or a train!
First things first, it's not Krakow. It is Kraków. See the difference? Yes. Please google the polish pronunciation of the city. It's pronounced as KRACK-OV or KRACK-OFF! With a bit of an accent, you should be fine. ;)
Now coming to the common SOB STORY.
Are you not going to SteemFest?
Are you not going to SteemFest?
Are you not going to SteemFest?
Are you not going to SteemFest?
Are you jealous of people who are going to make it?
Are you tired of reading #RoadToSteemFest posts started by @Anomadsoul?
Are you going to be offline because you just can't handle pictures of the fest 
Are you not happy that your favorite Steemians will enjoy with each other without even caring about your existence?
Are you sad because will miss winning the Bowling Cup?
Are you not going to make it?
Are you not going to make it?
Are you not going to make it?
Are you not going to make it?
Are you not going to make it?
Are you not going to make it?
I am going to list a few things or probably situations which came in between you and your trip to Steemfest 2018. If any of these matches with your reason of not making it, please throw me an upvote and a cry emoji in comments. :'(
- You joined STEEM very recently. Probably a month ago! You have already done your research about the BC. You know who's who and what's happening around. So you know about STEEMFEST as well. You are quite intrigued by the idea. But since you are new, you can't go.
- Money! is the root of all evil. If you do not have it, you cannot go to STEEMFEST. That's the evilest fact in any STEEMians life. :(
- You do not know many people. You probably get upvotes from
and
but not many real people have noticed you. You do not have regular followers. Also, you do not engage with other people for any damn reason. So you are afraid about sitting alone in a corner sipping your vodka.
- You are not SOCIAL! or better, you are an Introvert. You do not like talking to people as such but since meeting with STEEMians on SteemFest is probably the grandest idea ever, you want to attend but your inherent nature comes in between.
- You had planned something else already. Even though the date was announced by
, like ages ago but you plan your things centuries ago. Which is why you are clashing another event with SteemFest.
- Kraków is too far from where you live and you do not want to travel that much. In simple words, you are either a lazy bum or it's actually like 10000000 miles away from where you are right now.
- You want to stay anonymous for whatever reason even though you want to go and meet your favorite Steemians at the fest. This should be a common reasons among whales.
- You did not get your leaves approved by your filthy boss. Yes, your boss doesn't want you to play with the community that pays you more than your job. Or probably not because Steem Price is not that great as of now. But maybe at some point in time that will change.
- Your health does not allow the travel or maybe your mind (cuz of motion fears). That sucks a lot but there is nothing much you can do here.
- You just cannot leave your baby home or RESPONSIBILITIES LIKE THAT!
This is not the end of the list. There might be thousand other things stopping you from reaching the most anticipated event of the year and I totally get your frustration. It will grow more this week when you start seeing people reach the city or venue and becoming vocal about it on their profiles. Well, many of them have actually started. But do not worry, I am with you. I am also not going because of the combination of #2 and #5. Next year, I am gonna make it anyhow. That's one of my STEEM Goals for 2019!
In the next post, I will list down 10 things you can do if you are not going to SteemFest. Just let me know in the comment section and give me ideas about this as well. If I feature your idea in my next post, you can win 2 SBDs from me ;)
STEEMFEST 4 - I AM COMING!
