RE: Why on earth did I get a slot to speak at Steemfest?
Hi Phil! I really wish I was coming to steemfest. I would definitely attend your talk. I've no doubt it will be uniquely interesting....your perspective has so much to offer. Despite the vast disparity in knowledge between us, (you are a whale sir,) I found our conversations the other day to be humour filled, enlightening and inspiring. Steemfest is very lucky to have you indeed. Best of luck and please, you must do a post on it whether anyone else does or not! ;)
Hi Ben! Thanks for those kind words. I will do my best to post about my Steemfest experience.
BTW, my name is "Phillip" and I typically go by just "Phil." I point this out not to be pedantic, but there is a funny story about "Philip." I almost didn't make it to London last week because my ticket was originally booked as "Philip" and I didn't realize until I tried to check in. Delta deferred to Virgin Atlantic, VA deferred to Travelocity, and Travelocity refused to make the change unless I paid a $300 fee! In the end, the young lady in my office who did the original booking got it fixed, but for the want of an L I nearly missed that trip!
Dear oh dear oh dear. That is one sticky situation with a rather hefty price-tag! I'm so sorry for stirring those unpleasant memories! ;) If it's alright by you, I'll go with Phil.
