PowerUp Day 💪 Delegation Giveaway
🚨🧨💥 Engagement is Required ❗❗
After a whole month 😅 ... continuing the experience!
If you haven't read the first post, maybe now its a good time...
👉👉👉 PowerUp 💪 October - My HiveFest⁹ Experience 😍 Part 1/2 👈👈👈
Then come back here!
Right... where was I? The Gala dinner! Delicious food, great company, live music, memories and damn... it was already more than a month ago...
Time is a sucker, it absorbs your lack of focus on understanding how much these moments are important. And the moment you reflect on them again... it's already part of your history.
And because sometimes all you need is an image to get some inspiration... here is one that categorizes... the "let's get back to fun writing"!
Forky Powering Up 😊
(from here on imagine myself transforming and doing lots of fun stuff while writing this post and also recalling all the moments)
Because when you are having fun, you enjoy stuff more...
So... this was a powerful 🚀 Rocket 😂 launching from somewhere in Europe, Croatia... Split I think! Carrying some adventurers in the hope of exploring the @hivefest Galaxy
It had two Sparkling Solid Boosters (aka SSBs) that brought the best out of this launch, carrying its payload of explorers ready to adventure the cosmos... and damn if it was an epic rocket (look at its first minutes of lunch, on the left picture).
Obviously, I was aboard this demonic machine and eventually I, plus a group of people I could not identify anymore, reached a new planet! 😁
In this new celestial body, I could not feel my weight... it was like there was no gravity.
Suddenly, I realized that the inhabitants of this new place, did have a quite interesting ritual. They would move their bodies within the spaces in between others like there was music flowing through their inner parts...
They also would use incredibly exciting lights in order to further orchestrate their own kind.
The aliens (I called them by then) came to my aid, and adopted myself as being part of them... it was imperial times! 😇
It was a magical party and suddenly I don't know what really happened... but I instantaneously teleported next to the middle of a real Imperial Army! And it almost looked like they were deceiving friendly to me as you can see in the picture above.
But it was then that they completely turned and brutally attacked me... they must have enjoyed sacking everything and everyone (including @missbitcoin-sv, because they thought she had some $BITCOIN with her 😜) they could put their hands on.
It almost looked like they knew I had special powers and didn't want my species to get further empowered (too late! 🤣).
I can't stress enough how many pictures I am missing out on between the trip to the Imperial planet and the real Imperials...
...but if you check the other people's posts on the HiveFest Community, you might understand why.
Anyhow, back to the excruciating pain caused by these Imperials, I was really a helpless prayer during that morning... if only someone would come to save the day...
It was then when a magical being appeared, shouting... "Be gone, Imperials!" - this was a #hive wizard called @roelandp with enough power to drive the Imperials away in the blink of a hand being raised, with a very strange look... eye? damn... this photo is horrible! 🤣 - sorry man!
I was saved! More wizards arrived meanwhile and I felt quite excited by the power in front of me 😈🙂...
The discussions that followed did justify in a very large scope, of "why I was saved..." but the amount of minds, talent, persistence and love for what they do, elevated my aura way above its limits.
I powered up all those discussions and information and embraced all the moments as anyone around probably did... but it felt like I would love way more.
The heat of the moment was noticeable and many posts later, people would eventually find out. And the opportunity to witness all these was something yet to make a larger difference in the future, but to what I promised myself, to continue to be a part of. Not because I had to, but because I felt connected to it. Thank you all for what you brought to @hivefest!
Yes... it ended quickly for most, but for some others... id did NOT! 😏 A new party was just getting started. And we got all a teaser of what that would probably be like.
THIS ARRIVED outside!
And the fricking noise of it doesn't even make its own judgement when recorded in a video... it really doesn't. I have recorded a video too, and when I manage to post it, I will link it here.
I had a Fiesta in Portugal, but nothing compared with this... just look at that small but powerful thing... I could speak (and explore) for hours about this engine, but let's not do that today...
Yes, I enjoy cars and motorsports a lot... #F1 especially, but Rally too... Had a lot of fun while young with simulators and Rally games, with a very close friend, and those times were fricking gold.
I have eventually explored a bit more "walking" through the streets of Split... and coming back to a bit of the beginning, I have booked an interesting place further down towards this picture, which was like a place that made me feel Home again (Portugal) because of how people would rent their own apartments...
Close to where I was, there was a supermarket, and every morning (almost) I would just rush to buy some fresh bread, local butter and some smoked prosciutto with cheese for my breakfast! Hummmm it was the god's wish!
That alone was worth the place... 🤦♂️ yes, I was that hungry for home food! LOL
Along the walk (by myself) on this day after hyperventilating with the Rally car, the destination intent was to join some late-day Billiards. But before that, I was getting hungry and decided to follow @bil.prag advice and test this place for Boar Burgers... guess what?
DELiciOUS!
Damn... I am salivating tooo!!
We then hooked into the so-awaited Billiards (just next to a police station! 🤔) where I enjoyed playing against several players, such as @ervin-lemark, @khaleelkazi, @ph1102 among many others...
Among the many Billiard games, I have also played Darts with a bunch of people...
In that evening I think my right arm got a muscle upgrade! @louis88 and @rivalzzz fault mostly! 🍻
@ervin-lemark, @arcange, @detlev, @primersion and @masterswatch also contributed to my arm fortification. 😝
Speaking on tongues... who's this tongue? And just in time for #BeerSaturday! 😉 ish (I am on Sunday already)
Speaking about the place above, we have basically come back to the same place where I had my Boar burger... and what did we all do to this place you may ask #hive?
Basically show up at 10:30 PM with probably more than 30 people to this place and have dinner! A place that might probably have (guessing) 2 to 5 guests from 10 PM to midnight...
We arrived and "Destroyed" the place as it was, in "food" terms I mean... But even if the place was forced to get two more staff to help handle the job, while the cook (chef) was a fricking printing Burgers, what a great persona, the highlights of the Food Frenzy were... @crimsonclad and @khaleelkazi 😋😎 - you guys rocked a display! 🤘
After such an amount of energy, we had to put it into practice... So, a bunch of us crawled through the streets of Split, via several methods of Uberteleportation eventually ending in the Mona Lisa Club...
We made RedBull Cheers!
Yo Mona... great stuff!
The night was not that long because I needed to prepare for the next morning's event... the RALLY stuff... and during the day, I had to call my troops to help me out with @forkyishere!
Because he was getting crazy with so many visions of Spiderman ducks!
I have also admired some exotic furniture I would loved to bring into NZ, but it was somehow heavy and the Store said shipping to NZ was not available. 🤷♂️
Also said hello to my friend "Drogon" (can't recall if this was really him)... Note, 39 39?, Bosanska 9... any clues?
I have enjoyed the streets of Split quite a lot... recalls me Cascais, where I am from!
We have finally made it into the BUSleportation thingy... Almost felt like touching the grass! 😏
The weather was perfect... not too warm, some clouds to shade some extra rays (in NZ this would be extra important).
After some OF the BEST Pizzas I have ever tasted, we were all trying the Hive-Powered Rally car!
This was how the Fresh Tyres ended up by the end of the day!
During the event, we also had @arcange sharing some bike experience with anyone that was keen. Quite a great treat for everyone who tried... I have enjoyed lots of seeing this kind of Hivehood!
@brianoflondon and @detlev were ecstatic with the beautiful Kawasaki!
After such an amount of adrenaline, we had to refill right? We have been rewarded with a treat like this... Looked and was DELICIOUS too...
But let me tell you... further into the night, we had a version of this (took like 1 hour to deliver almost) that was 10x THIS! Both in terms of presentation (and I know that looks quite hard) and especially taste! Shame I didn't take a picture of that one to prove you... I think @ninaeatshere was there with me once I "shouted" the "way so much better quality" (this was the later into the night "ask" about sushi and sashimi that I mentioned being really a million stars).
The next day arrives... I had to pack my huge suitcase... and bring it with me! I have cleaned after myself in the apartment and the lady who rented me the place said something like "OMG, you left the place even better than how it was when I left it to You! You are welcome anytime!" - Educated people I guess... 😉 (Dad and mom, thank you for teaching me the right way!)
Pirates here we Go!
@arcange checking if the cannons were all loaded! Just in case... you know... even if we had a boat loaded with pirates, enough is never enough on the Mediterranean Sea!
I know... sounds crazy... but... for me... "Cascais!" 😏🤷♂️😉😎 (people who know this city/village will understand).
The views from the boat were amazing... quite relaxing and left me with lots of moments to recall what just happened during this week.
I know this kind of view is important in your daily life (Wellington... is also a scenic place)... so, really thankful for visiting your place @lordbutterfly 😎
More views I felt in 😍
Different clouds...
We were sailing (this was actually @steevc hands 🙂), the #hive boat!
Eventually, we arrived at the paradisiac place!
Ignore the lack of sun... the place was Marvelous! All for ourselves... many deep dived, including myself. 24/25C water! YES!!! That warm!
We then came back to the boat and had some lunch... accompanied by the Bavaria I took onboard (without permission LOL). As the bottle says... it was IMPORTED! 🤣
We were quite comfortable, as we knew the beach was being monitored! 😎
Believe it or not, it was by this moment that I almost had tears on my face... understanding it was all almost ending... 😭
And please... don't feel I haven't valued your interaction with myself less if I haven't mentioned you here (there are SO MANY people my mind has a hard time memorising names, but I will FOREVER remember your faces - visual memory). I valued EVERYONE I spoke with and appreciated the fact that in these places we are all #hive people... like for example, @yabapmatt was there and I felt really normal having a great chat with him.
It's almost over 😭
The writing does not judge the true experience... you need to be there to find out why! I am just enjoying telling you all the story I can... Just like everybody else! We are all creating records for others to verify and curate!
By the time we have returned to Split, I have joined @lizanomadsoul for a shared Uberteleportation into the portal to madness! I have seen (like Liza has seen) tons of minions lying around the airport and potentially in need of finding out about #hive.
We have swapped HBD for careless fiat... and affirmed about #hivewoodness stuff. The Power was strong... but...
My window said NO!
Split! This was memorable... 🙏
I didn't arrive Wednesday in NZ, but by the looks of it, something was really wrong while I was over through! Probably shenanigans of travelling into the future! -80 C 😱 (and this was around Germany, so probably the Alps got in the way? 🤔)
Quick exit via Germany while saying goodbye to this side of the world! I had a very good experience at this airport... Not huge, but worked very well.
Eventually arrived in Dubai... took a shower!
Then replied to @khaleelkazi, and many others by then... spoke with family... and jumped into the next one! Dubai-Melborne!
Finnnallyyyyyyyy! Hazzyyyy'sss!!! Thanbk you ASUies!
Plus some Eggs Benny!
And a few days later (the weekend) I was in New Zealand... enjoying the sunshine... and doing my first @worldmappin post...
You can't really make fair on how to show you the level of fun and memories recollection I had with just this post around the experience on @hivefest... but hopefully, I could sprinkle some enjoyment of how great this was.
With lots of #hive 💖 see you soon!
😇 But before you go AGAIN... let's make these Damn 🎩 Hats Giveaway 💪 GO!
I failed already multiple times... so, I gave up on strategy here... Just want to send these to anyone who's looking for one.
Who wants this hat? First replies, first served! (two hats available) No rules... if we have to argue about whom, we can... as long I can send these two! LOL
Remember: I will need AN address to send the hat... so if you are not comfortable with providing your address to me. Please excuse me... but don't fricking say you WANT IT
I will contact you via private channels/chats to get the hat shipped.
😊 Forkyou™ in the next one 😉
My 🖐️ motivation!
Have fun, play games, learn, and when possible, teach new things to newcomers, showing them how interesting this place can be.

You had a really epic trip and it's great to see you enjoyed it so much. That is special bunch of people. I wonder if we will ever have a Hivefest down under? I'd have to make a holiday of that and my other half would want to come.
!BEER
Hopefully one day, either Australia or New Zealand. Either are probably very easy places to get VISAS, so it should be easy for most people. The hard part will always be the flights...
Please extend this HiveFest series to Part 3, 4, 5, etc., and publish it next month! We need these reminders of the great time that we had until the next HiveFest! 😃
Like I said a couple of times, it was a pleasure to meet you on this space travel to Liotes, ooops, pardon, to HiveFest planet... 😃

I was thinking on it... (more parts) 😎 - I kind of wanted to build more content on the story and then it was getting to big...
At the same time, I want to have the next month free to talk about something else... so, had to dump it all this time. But for sure, next time will do it... makes more sense for the way I want to publish the experience.
Great that people like it. Its doing its purpose! HiveFest Planet is awesome!
I have so many things I wanna say, but most is like "damn, I wish I had experienced that!"
And now is my time to go for that ATX hat 😆 I totally want it, as I have from when I first saw it 😎
Can you provide me an address in some way you find acceptable... for me to send it...
Being that, Discord, encrypted memo... whatever! And I will SEND it!
Registered... Finnnalllyyyyyyyy! I have been like crazy trying to promote these...
Imagine if I had made 100 of them... I would be dead!
You could have been stuck with a whole pile of them if you had made too many 😂

:D I need to find a way to mass-cheap-produce the hat again... thanks for letting me know. The first two people already claimed it, but I am taking notes of the interested people in order to have a sense of the effort. Appreciate the interest.

Greetings dear friend, it's a pleasure to be sharing with you your pleasant moment at the Hivefest, it seems that your stay in such a prestigious place was of great benefit, last month @angeluxx told me about his great contest but due to my premature start in Hive I couldn't participate, but this month I'll be happy to do so so I'll use the keyword ATX according to the instructions of the girl @angeluxx.
A great pleasure
@angeluxx is doing a great job! Nice to meet another new participant and now don't forget to power up (10 HIVE minimum) tomorrow (at least for me, it will be tomorrow). Check https://hivebuzz.me/@cayitus63 (POWER UP tab) and it will tell you when the time is right.
Meanwhile, you can start gathering that 10 HIVE from wherever form you enjoy.

ATX
Muito obrigado! Curiosidade, é comum haver muitas pessoas na Venezuela que falam Português?
que viaje tan bacano, mas fino, ATX
Wow that's such an interesting experience you had at hivefest.
ATX
What a great experience you had at Hivefest, I hope you can do it in my country Venezuela, I came here because I saw the video @angeluxx I am interested in the token.
I want to participate in the raffle.
ATX
Would love to visit Venezuela one day. Never visited.
Thank you for your curiosity. Hope to have provoked some learning along the way. 😉
Any difficult questions, I am always happy to help with.
My country is beautiful in what it has, you can take a tour and be surprised of the wonders it has, I would like Venezuela to be eligible for the Hivefest, but I think many conditions apply including the situation of my country, if I have doubts I will let you know, thanks for the delegation.
It's hard to believe that all those awesome stuff happened in just a bunch of days... just incredible you managed to do so much actvities in such a short time! And these "romans" really feels like true roman soldiers: very nice and well-crafted armors :)

They where part of the Diocletian's Cellars I believe.
I remember reading a post in which was said that those armors are in metal and weight quite a lot (tens of kilograms): probably not very comfortable, but the result is great!
Like caring your own back pack for a tramp but without anything useful LOL
Unless you find someone with a sword willing to kill you 🤣 in that case a bit of armor may turn useful! !LOL

Awesome to have you on the map now @forykw 🔥🐝😎
I have a couple work trips organized now, so I have more opportunities for some more pins.
Perfect! We are looking forward to seeing you explore your map @forykw🐝👍
Hopefully, next hivefest we will meet earlier on the event and have some actual conversation @forykw. It was nice to see you even when we both were already destroyed at the end :D Still it was fun and an honor to share that uber with you and spend some time at the airport ;)
