Hello.

Hello. So last week we did our first speaker event at for Skeptics in the pop we did we did and it went so well it was crazy it was crazy

It was obscenely good. I really didn't expect the kind of, I think we counted around 70 people.

I think it well I mean yeah it was 70 75 something around that. I mean there was speculation that it was more

but I think we can safely pin our hat on 70-75 I was thinking

in the run I was thinking 40 we get 40 I'm happy oh yeah I'll be pleased with

40 I think there was a point where there's about 20 or so people and it was like

what's going to happen here and then we hit 30 and hit 40 and 50 and 60 and it was

standing room only and people were stood on the stairs and And it was literally standing room out,

which was fantastic, and the audience seemed to really appreciate it.

But not all right, it was genuinely fantastic.

I mean, I was amazed by the turnout.

I believe we had, was it Mat Smith from more

haunted there as well? Yes. Did he go by Matthew Matthew, I'm not quite sure.

On Wikipedia he's Matthew Smith bracket psychologist. I see. So he goes by Matthew Smith at least according to

Wikipedia. Right I see there as opposed to Max Smith
