This is my first time attending Hive fest and it was so fun! I met quite a bit of people on the first and the second day. So, I hope they are okay with name dropping in this post ^^-
Anyway, I went early to the altspacevr venue on the first day and it wasn’t open. The first person I met was the wizard @gandalf, during the first day. We had to wait quite a while before the main venue opened.
When I was already inside the venue, I also told @perceval and @nathanpieters to come. Everyone started coming and even non-hivers who were quite lost and asked questions like, “ where are you from?”, “ what is this all about?”. To be fair, in altspacevr it’s kind of normal because there are some certain demographics that go there to learn English conversation. I guess hanging out around altspacevr a few days before hive fest pays off because I get to understand all sorts of things and even the people around the place.
I stayed at the meadows quite a while and had some conversation with non-hivers. I even met a user that I saw at the conference I was attending a few days earlier and told her about hive. The leaflets explainer sort of helps to explain to non-hivers what hive is and I was there to also tell them extra information about it since the leaflets are just the main points. Then, I walked around and teleported to the main stage to check out the presentation. I didn’t really take much pictures unfortunately. Next thing I know, I also met @belemo and was expecting to see @wolfofstreet too.
Then I met @m31 and we got to visit the nft showroom together and noticed some interesting artworks there, we both wondered about the 20 minutes of artwork that was displayed as well. I also met @lemony-cricket and the three of us hung around the nft showroom then moved on to the venue hologram against humanity.
Hologram against humanity is what left an impression on me the most, funnily enough. I really enjoyed being there and played the game with other hivers! From day 1 to day 2, after checking out the meadows, the main stage, I stayed there until 5 AM my time and the second day was until 7 AM my time. The game is hilarious and really fun when played with others. I often got the nastiest cards and loved to use them haha. The first day I had 5 wins until I had to restart the game. The second day was the same and I saw a high score of 11 wins which I think was the highest record!
We broke the game a couple of times too and it was funny. Now that I think about it, I really spent more of my time there than the other venues. Then I also got the chance to visit other venues like the beach in one of those teleport machines.
Have you managed to check other venues too?
I met a lot of people, especially from holograms against humanity. I got to see @tarazkp too @jarvie, and @ewkaw which I thought was a guy all along and others. The second day, the last standing who played there were @smooms and this guy who got 11 wins and some other I forgot the username. So, if you spot this post, come say hi!
Finally here are some of the pictures in my gallery that I managed to take !
I hope to see @littlenewthings IRL as soon as the border opens. The last time I was there, I couldn't see her. So I am looking forward to meet her.
A selfie with @derangedvisions. I saw @livinguktaiwan too but forgot to take selfie.
This was on the first day ! sadly I didn't take one during the second day as well.
So, that's a wrap. I know I missed many things and sorry if I met you and didn't tag you here. Anyway, I'll read and come say hi around #hivefest tag!

I saw @livinguktaiwan too. She was hanging out like a meat puppet
Yeah, she was having an issue with the app it seems
She wasn't summoning the Dark Lord?
a girl needs her beauty sleep
While standing up?
That was great fun. I wish we could do that more often!
I should drop into the discords more for a chat too :)
Yes indeed! it would also be better if hivefest venues could be hosted on altspace vr or something similar 😁 that way, we could hangout there and play that card game or just talk to each other without waiting for hive fest.
That's a great idea
I got just a little experience and it was fun. Hope to do this some other time.
Yeah, hope to see you next year or something!

my bad, didnt introduce myself.
just rndmly got 11points. ^-^'
pleasure meeting you =)
Oh hi! it was you! the one who won 11 times :D you had great cards then.
hm might be, i think its more about how you use them.
Anyways, i'd love to play that everyweek or so, i'm thinking how it could get like a hive
meetingspace, maybe building it based on nft's one could choose his white cards, on a table built on dLux..
just bringing together hiveans or so ^^'

@macchiata! The Hive.Pizza team manually curated this post.I was actually too tired and right after the conference I had to bail to rest. That's the life when the real world has much to do.
However, it is nonetheless wonderful to meet you and have a good chat! Hope to see you in the RL soon!
