Actually, I think the round of applause I got mid-way through our intros and the rousing acclaim at the very end would actually indicate that we went rather well overall? 🙂 I’ve already had several people ask for a copy of what we said – Stuart wrote pretty much all of it and his delivery, if I say so myself was really getting into the spirit of things and we brainstormed current events to make it contemporary. I haven’t had anyone give any bad reviews so far in person.

I would certainly agree that if you compare what we did to the fine efforts of Catherine and Sue-Ann, I guess you could certainly say we paled in comparison to their effortless and biting witticisms. That’s what we knew would happen. We weren’t there primarily to ‘be funny’, after all – we had ten minutes of required fill-in by the organisers as ‘part of the job’; to introduce who we were as people, set the scene and let you know that we’re the co-MCs for the rest of the conference.

A tough gig, if you have never done it before for a big audience – that was true for both of us. Wait until Sunday, when it’s 2500 rather than 1500. Converts hopeful indeed!

Tomorrow I’ll be giving shout-outs to certain sites and atheist groups who were keen on having my promote their efforts to a wider audience. Since I’ve been active online for quite some time, you’ll probably get a good understanding how being open to networking and communicating pays off? See you around.

Regards,
