Wow, that's awesome! I'm glad it did so well.

And how do they count it for those who saw it numerous times on only one trip through?

Well as long as the Fair people are happy with the result then thats great. I think thats at least a quarter of the entire number attending the fair. I hope that answers their critics and CEO Steve Beazley is vindicated in what was a bold decision which gave all of us something to be very happy about. Now all we have to do is talk Mr Beazley into sometime in the future getting it to a wider audience

Perhaps more startling though, some 11,000 boxes of chocolate-covered bacon and 12,000 deep-fried Zucchini Weenies were consumed.

I'd say, "disturbing."

I just got back from the fairgrounds. I was picking up my photo from the Visual Arts building. It's always cool to see the grounds in "behind the scenes" mode, but even cooler since I got to say one last goodbye to (the outside of) Al's Brain.

Al's Brain a success.
I didn't know the CEO of the fair was a clinical psychologist. Hmmm.... they do a film about the brain and it's the musician who does the research, not the psychologist. OK...
We all know that
this musician is no slacker when it comes to researching stuff.
60% women... that was either all us gals swarming over (repeatedly) from AlFest, or else a lot of women take children to the fair. They didn't give statistics on numbers of kids who went through the Brain.

So that's what Paul was doing with Al. I must admit, it was a bit of a let down. I mean, no music video? Come on!
