Thanks, Belle. I'm thinking LJ's photo gallery automatically compresses photos into a preset size, and maybe there's a way to bypass that... but it might entail needing to know how big I DO want the picture to be, and then I start getting confused. :-p
You're so lucky to have gotten to see Elijah at LFCC! I would love to hear him speak in person. He's so good at talking about what he does and how he does it; I think I would never get tired of listening to him. But I might need him to just stand there for a few minutes before he started to talk, you know, until my brain could unfreeze from the paralysis induced by his absolute physical perfection.
I can't tell how big the venue is. You're right, the microphone suggests it's a big room. The way the students seem to be in a half-round around him suggests "lecture hall" to me, which could be a really high-ceilinged room with lots of tiers of seats. My lecturing-professor instinct tells me it's not big enough to hold 500+ people, though... but yeah, that's just instinct talking.
