The guy from the Times was worth waiting for. Other speakers varied in quality. It would have appreciated more of the 'how.'

Great presentations as per usual, @kevinQ has a career in stand up comedy if this graphics editor @NYTimes ever becomes a bore...huge thank you to Chris and everyone that makes these excellent events possible.

Come by 6:15 if you want a rapid fire tour of Meetup HQ before things get started! If interested, just arrive early and look for me--redhead with beer in hand.

  On the Papal landing page, the left-hand side has text fields with a "continue" button at the bottom. Fill that side out and you'll be able to pay by credit card without creating a Paypal account.

Is it possible to provide an alternative payment method? Eventbrite worked fine but PayPal is really frustrating.

  Hacks/Hackers NYC can only accept payment by Paypal. Look for an email.
