I forgot: the vernissage of pd works at PFOAC was also running from 14:30
to 17:00, thus overlapping both the artist talks and all of dorkbot, and
thus the sprint overlapped it completely, and again it took some walking
to get there and back.
I went to several conferences in which almost any talk was scheduled at
the same time as several others, but it's not the same: in those events, i
never really felt the need to be attending several different things at
once.
