"Just a quick note among many, I'm sure, to congratulate you and Richard and your team on an excellent event. Your curatorial mastery is coming into its own now. You have an extraordinary ability to tell a story using the medium of conference planning. It's a mix of being very smart about the content and very savvy about the people. This has always been true, but I think you have crossed an invisible line into another dimension with this show. Everything ran on time, with a professionalism that was a joy to behold."

"I cannot say enough good things about you and this year's TVOT conference. The venue was beyond compare, artistic and functional and funky and the gardens and OMIGOD I *love* Yerba Buena. For real the best venue I have ever experienced. I do realize I am gushing like a GIRL, but I just loved it. The size of the conference was ideal: Not too big. Not too small. Just right. The sessions were perfectly relevant and hit along the major chords of the sector in a way that belies your passion and expertise. And I will just never, ever get over (in a good way) you getting misty over Philo Farnsworth's birthday, your discussions with his wife Pam, and then exclaiming "I am verklempt." WHO SAYS I'M VERKLEMPT? I LOVE IT. J The depth of your passion is genuine and extremely refreshing. I just really loved everything about TVOT. Thank you for including me. Two BIG thumbs up. If I had a third thumb, it'd be up too. Thanks for the putting it together, and thanks for including me. "
