There was more, but the events were running late. We were falling asleep so we went home. The whole thing probably didn't end until at least 7AM.

I'm sure that many of you have done this sort of thing before, but this was a first for me. I was probably only about 15 feet away from Bruce at the Q & A. It was awesome.
