I didn't make it to Steemfest 4 as it was too big a trip for me, but I know people who went. Was supposed to be a UK event this year, but it was called off, although I did meet up with some guys in London recently.
I'm still making music with some local folk. Some Hive people are keeping some form of open mic going, but I've not been so into that.
Anyway, Hive is a fresh start and we can try to make it better than Steem was. We have lots of good people, so I still have hope.
Stay well.
