Post SteemFestic Blues

in #steemfest5 years ago (edited)

Many thanks to @roelandp and all involved parties for this great adventure.

It was the fourth time I had the pleasure to attend the event.

We have without doubt a great technology that powers up our blockchain, skilled developers, promising projects, and upcoming new fancy features, and all of this is true and all important...

However, we also have something that we can see in particular during the SteemFest events, namely many awesome, passionate people who choose Steem as their platform.

”All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”
- Gandalf, The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R. Tolkien

Please ignore videos, it’s audio that matters, maybe the quality is not perfect , but YouTube is the easiest way to share those songs with you.

  • Do you know any of them?
  • Have you listened to all of them?
  • Can you, these days, not only hear the music, but also listen to it?

This post has been written for(*) Steemfest 4 community, which was created during SteemFest4 Day 2, after @roadscape announced beta version of Communities.
(*) except I messed up with accounts and posted to unmoderated #steemfest tag
#FOMO?
You should.



EDIT: I appreciate your votes, I really do, especially that I don't post frequently, but lets be fair, that's not a great post at all. Not that I want to get downvotes instead, but if I may ask, enjoy the music, leave the comment and if you still have spare vote power, please take your time and try find great content among other SteemFest participants or Steemians in general.


EDIT: Two issues for condenser were identified while writing this post, one good old
External links should opened in new tab/window a.k.a. new tab: to be or not to be. If you want to listen to the playlist, you will move to the YouTube site leaving Steemit site. eSteem.app doesn't suffer from that issue. Interestingly SteemPeak.com is even smarter here. Not only it opens link in a new tab, but also warns you before leaving site, which serves additional protection against phishing attacks. Same with busy.org
Second issue is more tricky, YouTube video fail to embed properly when mixed with markdown and was revealed only because two things happened at once: video ID has _ in name, and I also used _ in following text to write title of a song in italics using markdown.

Those are some great songs, and I've listened to most of them many times! I remember the SteemFest blues after last year's event—it took me a month to recover. ;) I hope you're enjoying the comforts of home with your lovely sparkling lady. I also hope to make it to SF next year, if I can. Would be great to see you again. I'll bring my dragon, of course.

Yes I do :-) Would be great to see you and your dragon again :-) Start planning now, it's much easier to prepare if you have almost whole year for that :-)

Indeed. Much of it depends on the location, but here's hoping it works out! :)

Unless it's really, really close, it doesn't change that much. Prepare for the worst case and then be relieved that it's not that bad ;-)

sadly sometimes you cannot simply plan so much ahead, but if ever happening @katrina_ariel dragons and my fufunchis will party for sure.

Only a month? :)

I too am planning to make Steem Fest 5, hope to see you again!

Yes! That would be great. And, you know, it might've been more than a month. But it was worth it!

The post SteemFest blues are real! I like that playlist - I know almost all of the songs on it. Hard to pick a favourite.

Try to catch up with those you haven't heard before :-)

What an eclectic selection of masterpieces :) I chose Queen and will probably visit 4/5 more.

Yes, FIMO, but number 5 is looking good.

Downvoted because of disagreements on Rewards. 1 picture and a few sentences, plus a few video links. Don't take it personally, you are one of my favourite witnesses, and it stays that way ;-)

Well, one of those sentences is actually about that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have to admit Wizard, that I really like your taste in music.

At this point of time thank goodness because I have to rush back into Christmas production mood this blue feeling can be shoved aside during weekends....

But I still caught myself scrolling back at the simple booth link and looked at all the animated fun we had when I couldn't sleep.

Ohhhh. This is a brutal reproduction list :P

Really wish I would have spent more time to get to know you at steemfest! Would have liked to have talked to you about my some of my family history and politics. Really sad that I missed last year's fest in Poland. Look forward to talking to you more, next year for sure!

Great playlist list! I am certainly feeling the blues here.

I remember the steemfest blues and the steemfest "flu" after last year event, this year it was just to far reach for me both physically and economically though I kind of regretted as the thai team had promised some special coffee sackets hahah XD with yummy flavours. i confess I don't know all the songs, and some of the songs I know only in their original versions.
