Bonfire at Casa @lovejoy!

Another late night, Steemit! I’m back on here before bed to share photos I took last night at Hive account@lovejoy’s bonfire. As I mentioned in last night’s blog post “Dark pinup at the Umbrella Company!”, we made good on our Minneapolis Steemit introductions video shoot. The turn out was great. I can’t wait to edit and share it with the community. Post-shoot, Hive account@lovejoy graciously invited us to his place for a bonfire for some crypto-fellowship.

I was mentally and creatively exhausted after that day long shoot schedule. Backyard time with friends was exactly what I needed. When we arrived, Hive account@lovejoy and Hive account@darkb4dawn we’re already there. The sun was just about down and Hive account@millsguthrie stood on the sidelines impressed with Hive account@lovejoy’s axe swinging skills. My ten years in Boy Scouts recognized a teepee fire when I saw it and we were off.

Hive account@tarotbyfergus showed up and gave me this disapproving glance, which I’ll have you all know is the exact same face he makes when something unpleasant befalls him. If you cast Saheeli’s Artistry and copy your Torrential Gearhulk twice, then cast Skywhaler’s Shot and Grip Of Desolation from your graveyard for free…I guarantee this is the face you will get. 

Hive account@tarotbyfergus experienced another crypto-milestone yesterday. A little over a week ago, I helped him set up a Bitpay account and we ordered him the card. It had come in the mail that morning so between shooting, we activated that motherfucker and transferred his available SBD through Hive account@blocktrades to his Bitpay wallet. By the time we’d all reconvened at Hive account@lovejoy’s, his funds were available. In one fell swoop, he had more money available than a slow day reading cards and palms at the shop! I personally feel the most important step in converted non-crypto-muggle’s to the ways of the blockchain token is to have them buy something tangible. That was where I crossed the believe threshold so I take great pleasure in walking friends through that process.

Hive account@moony arrived and spent most the night on her phone talking about motorcycles. Hive account@kooks88 crashed the party with pipe cleaners which began spontaneous 3D art creation. Hive account@tarotbyfergus with a representation of the Leo sign […which I approve of because I am also a Leo]. Hive account@vernillionfox made a cute little finger puppet bunny, and Hive account@lovejoy with an elaborate lemur mask.

We made S’mores and Hive account@millguthrie harassed Hive account@lovejoy a fair amount. He must get that from me because I can’t help myself giving Hive account@lovejoy a hard time constantly. Some great one liners left us all laughing like when the children asked what time it was and Hive account@lovejoy replied with “…there’s no such thing as time.”, followed abruptly by me saying “Don’t listen to him, kids! He’s going to be living in a van soon.” […more on that life decision in Hive account@lovejoy’s recent blog “Look Out World! ‘Bout To Get Nomadic & Cinematic… =)”.

Rounding out a fun night, Hive account@mada showed up as we were packing up the graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate. Hive account@millsguthrie has a timeframe where he melts and becomes an emotionally fragile mess and we were pushing that curfew. I gave Hive account@mada a quick private screening of the hilarious crypto-gangster street shot I was working on, then made our way home.

It was a great night, and not as much Steemit talk as usual when we’re all together. Still, big crazy ideas, like Hive account@lovejoy’s proposal that we all strap together rafts in a calm sea near the Bermuda Triangle and live on seaweed and eels, but the crypto stuff took second fiddle for a change, which was nice. These are all great people and STEEM, Bitshares, ETH, EOS tends to be the default conversation, but a change of pace the Steemit community brought together nearby friends to be just that. Thanks for hosting Hive account@lovejoy.

Not as engaging as lingerie models, but I do write things like this occasionally and there’s nothing you can do about it. If you’re here for the models in lingerie, tune in tomorrow. I’m sure there will be more of that. Either way, follow me at Hive account@kommienezuspadt! Good night, folks!
