The BIL conference was a huge success! People came, saw, and learned! And HELPED! And heckled! And spoke, and listened, and shared! And they were FREE!
What a delightful exchange of ideas in a beautiful city, itself vibrating from the exquisitely well-funded mindfuck that is TED!
What a rapid setup and takedown and pitching-in from all types of people! No politics, no figureheads, no exclusion but for the capacity regulations of a borrowed venue!
What utterly chaotic noise, what focus, what network, what beautiful minds and new friends!
I don't remember when I was last so engaged by so many brilliant input streams! My extrovert batteries are charged and buzzing and hungry for more!
I know I'm going to read some cynical dissection of the event tomorrow, somewhere, or someone might comment about how I should calm down, but I don't care. The energy coursing through me was siphoned from that which whipped around the rooms. This was a first, a unique community, an experiment gone imperfectly well, and this will only lead to more people who see the very accessibility of these gatherings!
::bounce::
It made me want to change the world!
I'm going to contribute some significant portion to next year's! I want to have a Decompression! This was a spirit that can be seen again, as long as the world and universe beyond continue to give us visions! And it will, it really will. Hah! Outstanding!
:D :D
