Hey @llfarms
Great to hear about all your choices leading you down the 'road to steemfest' Also how supportive curie members have been helping you raise funds etc. It is an amazing community :-)
P.s. If you ever get that standing in the corner feeling, just give me a nod. I'm also shy by nature but have managed to push it away somewhat over the last 10 years of my life, especially when I'm drunk lol. I'll be happy to stand in the corner with you and have awesome nerdy chats about fantasy fiction and scifi :-)
