I don't like participating too much in group activities, there is some fear that what if I am not able to contribute to the group and then how will people judge me, so I always fear this part when I am getting into with big groups for events like this ....... - dear, the same about me! :)
I wish you all the best at this event, and I am sure Steemfest will be friendly to you!
Yes, I am sure it will be a good time, but would have been nice to have you also around. Hopefully next year my dear :-)
