Sat 10 feet away...
by n2witchn on 11/15/16Sixth & I Historic Synagogue - WashingtonI was a little disappointed with the preparedness level of the moderator, Roxy Myzal. She seemed disorganized and flustered, flipping through her binder trying to find questions that Maynard didn't think would take away from the book for people who hadn't read it yet. I was lucky enough to get a copy pretty early and was about halfway through it before the event, so I understood the significance of the music that played while we were waiting as well as the opening song and the bird theme... even the Twizzlers that Roxy brought on stage but never presented to Maynard. I thought we'd have an open Q&A session after the talk but the questions were pre-selected and I never knew about that happening despite paying lots of money for 2 VIP tickets. One of the people who was selected to ask their question wasn't even there so they just read it off the paper... No matter what, being able to experience this conversation with Maynard was an unforgettable moment that I know I'll hold on to for the rest of my life. I wish I had been able to ask my questions but I'll just hold on to them in case another opportunity arises down the road.
