Good observations. I was there yesterday morning, and today until around one o'clock.

Unfortunately I was the only one in my immediate peer group to make it, and I didn't know anyone down there. It was tough for me to *not* get bored (although I could've been better at "networking").

Regrettably, I must leave for a week, and hope there is something left when I get back. By then there will be some stronger leadership.

As wonderful as a free-form grassroots movement can be, there needs to be a focus and leadership.

Great article that you linked as well.
