going offline for an hour or so

I was the first audience member inside Maxey Auditorium at 6:25PM. The tech girl setting up the place asked whether I was the presenter (so did the tech guy, when he appeared). I should've said yes.

It's 6:45, and people are only just now starting to trickle in. There's a chance that my host Bob and his friend Elyse will be here; I'm saving seats for them.

Once the presentation starts, I'll be turning the B-Berry off and the digital recorder on. I don't know how long the presentation's supposed to be, so things may be dark for an hour or more.

Will report on the speech later.
