yeah it was a great talk. he did the whole gravity thing. I even understood some of it... laughs all around!
I couldnt stay after the talk tho unfortunately.
It was great tho... spent the first 15 mins before the talk chatting to a new comer whos wife just bought a telescope for him to get him out of his hair. nice guy. i think it all went way over his head but he enjoyed himself anyhow. I think he may have joined that night.
