Personal Issues with Catalyst



 A comment on Out of Ur concerning the Catalyst Conference:

“It’s impossible to love people and avoid tension at the same time.”
This is good thinking and these are challenging words.

"Then, after an amazing spectacle, an audience participation exercise in percussion (think Blue Man Group with 13,000 people beating out the rhythms) and a spectacular demonstration of trampolinists reaching tremendous heights, twisting and flipping even while wearing skis and snowboards, and only after all that, did the speakers unpack the statement about tension."
This is a circus.


This is why I did not go to Catalyst, even though I had an offer of free tickets (labs included).

I was wondering if you were going to go this year.

You'll just have to go to Q instead.

We were going to do Q but it's 675$ per person! Couldn't pull that off, but it sounds pretty good otherwise
