## Notes

The talk portion of today's event was pretty interesting -- the hour went by quickly!

Likewise, the musical portion seemed as if it was over in a flash... far too short for my preferences.

Ending with audience Q&A was nice, but I would have traded that final 20 minutes for additional musical performance if they asked my opinion.
