I can't believe it actually took up that much of my time as it did. But it was worth it. My experience of the evening feels a bit like my photos of the cake. One minute it was there, just getting going, and then it was all gone. And all I could look at was an empty plate. But that sounds tragic and it wasn't at all. It was a great evening, with some really cool people who I am now proud to call my friends, and some truly interesting talks. It will all be up on the website soon and we can get back to normal life - until next year that is!
