Please re-steem to help spread the word!

As always, I like to include a photo that I've taken with text blogs that I write so that you can enjoy a thumbnail! Anyways, this is a photo I took at "The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation," in Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan. In this photo is a massive globe of small LCD panels that create a living, breathing world suspended in the air. Also you'll note that there's the famous robot that Honda made from a few years ago that dances and sings, this place was pretty cool, would highly recommend it if you ever spend any time in Tokyo.

ROLL CALL!!!

So who here is going to be attending Consensus 2017 in New York, May 22nd - May 24th?! Hive account@robrigo and I are going to be attending and would love to meet up with fellow crypto-nerds and Steem/Steemit users, so chime in and let us know what you're getting into! Or if you're a New Yorker, come say hi even if you aren't attending the conference! I was thinking that it would be pretty cool to have a small scale meetup if we can find others that are in the area or are also attending the conference.

If you currently aren't going, you should reconsider. Rumor has it that we maaayyyyyy hear something about EOS there, but who knows? Ticket prices are a hefty sum, but probably rightfully so. You may be able to inquire about some of the limited tickets being gifted to community members as well by reading the original thread here: https://steemit.com/eos/@dantheman/join-me-at-consensus-2017-for-the-eos-launch-party

I'd also like to thank Hive account@dantheman for helping Hive account@robrigo and I land tickets to this conference, I cannot begin to thank this dude enough. Not only for helping us land the conference tickets, but in general for his contributions to the world with Steem, BitShares, etc. It's truly insane. He's quite possibly an alien, the second coming of Christ, a saint, or some sort of holy-level inter-dimensional space wizard like being.

See you there!
