Is a live event always better then the podcast? I say nope. Sometimes it is, but I would argue that tonites event with Jimbo Wales at the commonwealth club in San Francisco was not such an event. I was there, but not very impressed. Mr. Wales was great but the muggy air, single-spaced & uncomfortable seats and the overall rigid atmosphere made me jeleaous of all the people who listened to the podcast in their shorts, zipping on a cold beer and spending the 20 bucks they saved to buy a pair of toms shoes.
So don't feel bad if you can't attend at every amazing event you would like to. We live in a wonderful world full of podcasts, youtubes & flickrs. Chances are that you don't miss as much as you think. Enjoy life - we live in amazing times...
