It was ok.

I think the "freezing freezing cold" scared off a lot of folks.

Our acts were nicely diverse, this time.  (and our final act, the  
furby youth choir, scared / annoyed the hell out of half the crowd  
who promptly were driven away).

Chase Hammocks internet pod -- nice and polished.  Really amazing setup.

Ward Christies VR/Cam Backpack setup was a hit... a lot of audience  
interaction.

JohnF did an amazing presentation -- his AV was extremely appropriate  
and added quite a bit to his project (short snippets of video that he  
talked over).

Marvin was there with some new biomechanicals (I really am afraid to  
see what his house looks like), and announced a performance of  
screaming baby heads on Dec 1 at Scoot Inn.

The Arduino SIG drew about 8 people and there was definite interest  
for followup (probably at a venue where we can all work on projects  
together.)

Looking forward to the holiday break to regroup and get ready for  
dorkbot in january.

Whee!
