I saw the talk last night, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great job, and I look forward to perhaps seeing more of your talks (if you do any) at Fiske.

Thanks for the talk BA. I was there and I thought you did an excellent job.

I just saw it too. Wonderful talk, thanks for taking advantage of Fiske. I think you can expect to be swarmed by the skeptic’s meetup tomorrow (just a heads up).

I just got back from it. I thought it was awesome. It started out pretty simple, but got much more interesting as you went on.

You should give more talks at Fiske before I graduate.

Ah, Fiske Planetarium and Summers-Bosch Observatory… what fond memories I have of being a TA there. All those frigid winter nights under the stars (with 7 arcsecond seeing!), snow covering the patio. Those were the days (and nights).

I think Andrew Hamilton and Mitch Begelman occasionally give black hole talks at Fiske, so you are in illustrious company. Break a leg.

Yeah! Webcast it! Put it up on iTunes with your Q&BA podcast series (which I hope you’ll start making more of soon)! Or YouTube, or something!

(…….. and while you’re at it, I wish you’d put the rest of your YouTube stuff on iTunes, so I can get them automatically via my subscription.)

I vote for video. I wanna see your smiling face, BA. Audio is good as far as it goes, but it’s not the whole enchilada. You remind me of Neil Tyson in that way – you both need to be seen in action to get the full effect of your enthusiasm.

Fiske Planetarium…that’s where I got my start in the lecturing/show writin’ bidness…

Got married there, too, 30 years ago this summer.

Hope you have/had a great time, Phil! It’s a place dear to my heart.
