Mark,
You “should” find some poor soul who is willing and able to allow call-ins to the Realism seminar via Skype or some such technological wizardry. I might volunteer if I were there, but (luckily?) I’m not. 🙂
trying to get skype to work as part of an event is one of the most stressful things i’ve ever experienced! never to be repeated.
I expected such. 🙂
though we did manage to sustain a conversation between someone on american west coat, someone on american east coast and someone in canada – all relayed through a room in the UK. it was v cool.
