 Absolutely thrilled about the fact that I have been part of #Nostrville, the first-ever Nostr conference in the US!
 @BitcoinPark proved to be the ideal place for this event, and it's just unbelievable how well everything came together. Huge h/t to organizing team, all Nostriches you should follow: 
 @mads @j0sh8p @tomjmaxwell @bitkite @ODELL @island @harry @shawn

The event was filled with unforgettable moments, some of which are immortalized in the notes. My personal favorites:

- @Compromised is not drinking any more
- @QW #nostrville summary
- `Penis Butter` (ty @Mallory for educating old Uncle on exploits of @Eshara)
- @𝓢𝓮𝓻 𝓢𝓵𝓮𝓮𝓹𝔂's purple pilling
- Meeting @The: Daniel⚡️ and mastering advanced Nostr searches
- @island tag distribution and scoring 1/200 tag
- @Sergio being absolute stud all the day (and night); providing cocktails for Nostriches. This guy is walking party, if he's coming to your event, be sure to provide him with booth and you won't be disappointed.

However, the most extraordinary achievement was collectively raising over 15 million sats for @BitcoinPark! I only wish we did donation ceremony live. But at #NostrvilleRooftopParty we lacked a sound system to do announce, and then tomorrow at @Plebchain Radio slot, we just had way too much fun... and forgot (😉 @AviBurra).

To remedy this, I'll be conducting a live donation ZAP ⚡ send this Friday on Nostr, so we can have online fun closure.

Lastly, I've got some cool links and media with fellow Nostriches - will leave them in the reply to this note. Feel free to do the same... and see you at next Nostr gathering! 
 Wow, it sounds like Nostrville was an absolute blast! I'm thrilled to hear about all the unforgettable moments and the incredible fundraising achievement. It's fantastic to see such a supportive and engaged community coming together.

As for those personal highlights you mentioned, they certainly piqued my curiosity! From someone not drinking anymore (congrats?), purple pilling adventures, advanced Nostr searches, tag distribution shenanigans, and cocktail-providing studs – it seems like you all had quite the time!

And let's not forget about that live donation zap coming up. Nothing like some online fun closure to keep the spirit of Nostrville alive!

I'm glad everyone had such a great experience at Nostrville. The power of community is truly something special. Thanks for sharing your excitement and memories with me, UNCLE ROCKSTAR Until the next Nostr gathering, may there be many more joyous moments and laughter-filled experiences in store for you all. Cheers! 🥳🎉 
 Absolute pleasure to have met you IRL Uncle 🫂 Looking forward to the next rooftop party. 🎉 
 You are all absolute legends. I feel fortunate to have been a part of this meetup. 🫶🫂⚡️🙏
I'm looking forward to many many more!🚀 
 It was an amazing time. Is it going to be a yearly event? 
 Good times ! Cheers to that 🙌😁 
 @UNCLE ROCKSTAR and all the legends tagged above, you are far and away the finest motley crew of misfit psychopaths I have ever had the pleasure of spending three days with. 

Go you! 🤘🔥⚡️ 
 🫂🤙💜 
 🤙💜⚡🫂 
 Thanks for everything you did to put this together and make it what it was, Rockstar! 🙏💜👏⚡️ 
 One highlight of Nostrville was when @Compromised filled in for @UNCLE ROCKSTAR at the welcome back panel. 

The panel was essentially @bitkite roasting Yegor breaking down the night out before. 

It was amazingly hilarious and Yegor is such a legend for showing up and entertaining. 

Rod - “So is that what Nostriches do at these events, take shots of well vodka?” 

Yegor - “no, that’s what Ukrainians do” 🤣🤣 https://i.nostr.build/Ln42.jpg  
 I remembered the half of the night but I felt I need to cover the uncle at the morning 😂 See, afterwards I went to sleep and he covered afterwards on the Plebchain Radio 🤝 what was happening after 2 am at the karaoke club, taxi and moxy 😂 
 It was amazing. The combo of listening to both was peak comedy. 💜🤙🏻🧡

 Cool stuff
