just were not quite as awed as the people who've commented so far

Positive:

• I feel closer to the people who were there than I did before.
• Some people said things that felt like missing puzzle pieces, explaining something about them that had always seemed strange to me.

Negative:

• There were parts where I was bored.
• People coming in in the middle, while someone was speaking especially, was disruptive.
• The "eating the combined food" was a little awkward, as people had preferences and didn't really like the combinations.

Overall I'm glad I went. The negatives were minor compared to the positives.
