Quick thoughts about the S & J forum today

I was at the Sam & Judy show, Hydro building edition, this evening in downtown Winnipeg. Some thoughts:

  • If you're a single guy then, dude, you should have been there. Lots of yummy girls, especially of the geeky/brainy variety. Oh sure they look all serious and unapproachable, but get a couple of drinks in them and look out!
  • Speaking of which, if you had a shot for every time Sam said "Basically" you would be dead or having your organs transplanted right now
  • Good job by the moderating tandem of Dan and Richard.
  • Funniest part of the night: Bartley Kives getting up to the mike and asking Katz if he had seen a report that Bart himself showed Katz earlier. Katz denies everything.
    Bart: Are you sure you haven't seen it?
    Katz: I have never seen that report.
    Bart: Are you sure? Nobody showed it to you or talked to you about what was in it?
    Katz: No, I told you I have never seen it.
    Bart (giving him one last chance): Are you suuuuure?
    Katz: Again, no. My sources aren't as good as yours. I have never seen it.
    Bart, returns to his seat shaking his head.
  • Judy's strongest issue by far: rapid transit. No surprise there. The more Sam talks about rapid transit, the more I don't understand what the fuck he's doing.
  • Judy sees herself as a short, female, non-gay (?) version of Glen Murray
  • Katz "basically" has already done or started doing everything that you could possibly ask for, and if you don't realize that then you haven't been paying attention.
  • Judy doesn't have any actual vision. Mostly just vague notions of building consensus and forming committees. Yay.
  • I am pretty sure that Kathy Kennedy is a smoker. Definitely a voice for singing blues.
That's all for my coverage, but every blogger in town was there so I don't feel compelled to ramble on too much. 'Till next time ...

This really sums it up:

"Katz "basically" has already done or started doing everything that you could possibly ask for, and if you don't realize that then you haven't been paying attention."

That really is his stock answer to any question, isn't it?

And "world class" remains a way overused term as well.
