I have been in a bind over what to write about these two events. It is easy to be critical, critique is what I do for a living. Unless you were there, my critique being out of context might sound a bit harsh rather than just the way I saw it. One of the first memorable lines from the 'bromance' panel was: 'one of the things I love about the 21st century is......'.
I hate being a buzz-kill.
There were miners who attended these events, and I think they got something out of them. I did not get what I hoped for, but I still got something out of each. So let's just call it good. This past week it seems I am guilty of going to the wrong venues for me.....I am a fool for a catchy title.
