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.
