Despite all the other competing events, fully 25 folks showed up from across the area (seven from over an hour away), and there were a couple unfamiliar faces in the audience. Skip Jones had contacted Forest weeks earlier about coming and he (joined by Ilana) played some lovely and much-needed tunes to soften the blows of information dealt out that night.

The 70 minutes of the two-hour film shown seemed to have a powerful impact and the discussion, led by friend and ally, Robert Nehman, was of high caliber and continued with everyone for half an hour after the alloted 2 hour time for the event and for well over an hour in unstructured conversation.
