Is there any video/audio of any of the lectures? Regrettably couldn't make it this year, but some recordings would suffice!

I attended several of the lectures. They were great! Thanks to Jolyon for a great job. I am helping out with next year's lecture series. Anyone who is interested in doing a presentation on local minerals (NY/NJ/PA) or local mining/quarries please get in touch with me. I am especially looking for someone to do a lecture on NJ Traprock minerals and localities. We already have one person for Franklin/Sterling Hill.

Paul. All lectures were recorded and once I get some time free I'll try to get them edited and put online.
