For those who couldn’t make last week’s Shindig, here are two screenshots from the event. The first one shows me and some extremely bored looking people waiting around for the reading to start. (My kid is in the screenshot along the bottom.) The second one shows a screenshot from the Q&A session, really toward the end of the entire affair. (I’m speaking with Andy Breeden from Florida.) By the amount of people online, you can see a lot of viewers bled off after my computer crashed (I wrote about the event itself here).
I would do the Shindig again, if only for all the people who couldn’t make it the first time. Perhaps I will. Until then, we can (and should) contemplate the aesthetics of the virtual book reading….
