Molempien heppujen luennot olivat täyttä rautaa. Mahtoiko täältä kukaan muu olla kuuntelemassa?

Kuvittelin että Hancockin puhe olisi ollut jokseenkin tarkka toisinto TED Talkista, koska otsikko oli sama. Sisältö oli kuitenkin ihan hyvässä mielessä erilainen.

Sekä Hancock että Luna vastailivat myös yleisön kysymyksiin ja Q & A osiot olivatkin yhtä mielenkiintoisia kuin varsinaiset puheosiot.

Musiikkitarjonta oli ikävä kyllä peruspuuduttavaa konepapatusta.

Myyntikojuista pisti silmään yksi, jossa myyttiin pikkupulloissa Amsterdam Poppers nimellä jotain teknistä liuotinta:

Ei siis käsittääkseni ehtaa amyylinitraattia vaan jotain imppaamiseen sopivaa eetterin tapaista. Yksi pullo tarttui matkaan, odottaa vielä unboxing istuntoa.
