I thought it went well. Most of the people I spoke with enjoyed it. I guess it could have has more representation from other groups, I too was hoping to connect with more people. I thought Joshua was very clear that this was to be a fund raiser for his new film & it was. I didn't feel tricked or disapointed. Anyone who knew very little about biodiesel came away with something. I could see how someone would expect more, or a "seminar" or something to take it to the next level. The new film is intended to educate a typical american in order for the movement to gain exceptance, which it will. Its too bad if people wanted more or had high expectations, but I don't see that as a reason to be negative about something so positive. Kind of reminds me of when Julia Butterfly climbed out of her tree & a bunch of tree sitters gave her a hard time because they never got on the news.
