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!
