2/2 presentations done, one for RC34 and one for WG10, which happened on the same time slot 😅 and I had to go to a different room (thankfully just within the same building). Thankful for the panel chairs who helped me navigate this!

Watched Gladiator II today and we realized that the cinema house was setup in MX4D so throughout the whole movie there were vibrations, winds and mist on our faces, and our chairs were going up and down 😂
