TLDR; 
- <a href="https://steemit.com/steemfest/@good-karma/steemfest-mobile-application-v1-released" target="_blank">SteemFest Mobile App Released!</a>
- <a href="https://steemit.com/steemfest/@steemfest/steemfest-timetable">SteemFest Timetable released</a>

<b>People..... It. Is. About. To. Happen! <a href="http://steemfest.com" target="_blank">SteemFest</a>.</b> Almost can't believe it... Actually within 1 week we'll be having the pre-drinks in the Volkshotel already in full-effect! 

This will be the last weekly update as next week I won't have time for it. There will follow some announcement posts via the @steemfest account, so be sure to follow that. 

Without further ado... This is what I did last "week": 

- Helped out @good-karma a bit finalising <a href="http://steemfest.com/app" target="_blank">the SteemFest mobile app</a>. Heck, even `pushed` and `pulled` some code and got acquainted with the Ionic framework a bit. Check out the result at http://steemfest.com/app 
- Finally laid the egg of the <a href="https://steemit.com/steemfest/@steemfest/steemfest-timetable">SteemFest timetable</a>. 
- Lots of back & forth with @cass to finalise the Program / Map of Amsterdam to hand out, but it's at the printer now, and yeah of course we already discovered some typo's :D
- Wrote and tested the code for the _1000 SP issuer script_ and got it reviewed by @xeroc. He gave some useful pointers. 
- Did quite a load of back & forth mailing & calling with locations, the hotel and service providers (canal boat company).
- Ordered some SIM cards for attendees who opted for the _<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1NrY9A9sDNHLJDQCt4gU1aI1wlSW99KxU04q8wsb3Vdk/">Sim Card Delivery Service</a>_ (if you want to use it, i bought 3 cards extra, so follow the instructions on the link)
- Received a gazillion of packages, printed stuff, flags, floormats, camera's, a food processor for @allasyummyfood workshop
- Talked through with my dad & brother who will be <a href="https://steemit.com/steemfest/@steemfest/shining-a-red-light-on-steemfest-sunday-red-light-mashup">baking family recipe dutch pancakes during SteemFest Sunday's "Red Light Mashup"</a>. 
- Went on an appointment with the Old Church and explained Steem, SteemFest and made a deal so we can also visit the Old Church itself during SteemFest Sunday. 
- Ordered the prints for #ArtAtSteemFest and made 'catalogues' and ordered those as well. 
- Continued my appeal for the Visa rejection of @infovore. Re-faxed all documents to an Appeal office, re-emailed everything, called the embassy in Nigeria (Lagos) again, but it seems stuck in bureaucratic crappers. Really annoying as I tend to want have everything fixed by calling and this really feels like a wall or a door smacked into your face. I really want him to be in Amsterdam next week,... so if anyone has political powers / cords we can pull please let me know!

<b>Are you coming to SteemFest? Want an original artwork? <a href="https://steemit.com/steemfest/@mauricemikkers/announcing-imaginarium-of-tears-steemfest">Book a Micrograph Story session</a> with @mauricemikkers:</b> he will sample a tear from you and then let it crystalize and turned it into a high res image with his professional laboratory setup at SteemFest Saturday. If 100 SBD is too much for you, you can also opt for a Exploration Session, which is significantly less money.
