0:00.0	Well, good evening, and welcome to Socrates in the city.
0:16.4	It is great, you can applaud.
0:17.5	It's great to see.
0:19.6	No, no.
0:22.6	That's really not appropriate, please. But it's great to see so many of you here.
0:27.6	As you know, we were totally sold out for this event.
0:31.6	In fact, just because of sheer stupidity on the part of my staff, not me. No, I'm, all right, I admit it. It was I,
0:42.2	who was sheerly stupid. And I have to tell you, we oversold this to the extent that you got an
0:48.2	email yesterday, I think, saying if some people wouldn't mind staying home, we'd be very, very
0:53.3	grateful. So, anyway, you know that we tried to tempt a number of you, like the airlines, you know,

1:05.0	And obviously a number of people took us up on that.
1:07.0	We really have no intention of honoring that, but we're just glad that they didn't
1:11.6	show up.
1:12.6	We just go on to the next town, they'll never hear from us again.
1:14.6	Now seriously, some of you were turned away mostly because there was simply no room.
1:19.6	Others, and we won't say who, but we just dislike you.
1:23.6	But because everyone who wanted to be here could not be here, we promised we would get the video of this evening online as soon as possible.
1:31.6	So hopefully in the next few days,
1:33.5	it's our intention to get these evenings out to a wider group than can fit in these wonderful rooms.
1:38.9	And we are happy to do that with this talk as soon as we can.
1:42.1	So stay tuned to SocratesintheCity.com or Ericmetaxis.com for a video of this event as soon as we can. So stay tuned to Socrates in the city.com or Eric
