Traffic Surge

Eddie's presentation went well, and I was glad we had so many turn out (about 150 peak), despite the UF v. Oregon "elite 8" game at 2:40. I will write up something more substantial on it soon, right now I'm working on converting our video of Eddie' talk into a digital format and it's going slow. Do you guys know the easiest way to take a mini-DV tape and get it into an MPG or something like that? I can get it into ASF format, but it is low-quality.

A big thanks to all the Gator Freethought members that came by and helped out in any/every way. Ryan recorded the whole event for us on camcorder, Brandon helped with sound, set up and literature, Holly had coffee going, and there were others milling about that I haven't named, but appreciate nonetheless. You know who you are, and how you helped. Thanks!

In the meanwhile, note the huge surge in our traffic to our site this month, spurred, I'm sure, by our advertising this event and coverage in the Sun:


Here are our site stats:

Pretty good, eh? Thanks for all your hard work, and I'm looking forward to our next opportunity to have a real debate. We'll get SG funds and have months to prepare next time around, and I guarantee we'll have a huge turnout if we pick a day when UF isn't involved in a semifinal in a national championship ;-)

I hope some of you will want to come to tonight's debate in Daytona. Contact me if you want to car-pool. It's about a two-hour drive. Here are directions from I-75.
