Really glad to see this post Laura!
I have been really excited about this day and very disappointed to be away from campus so please, if you are able, would you follow up with comments about the event on or after the 5th?
There were some great videos based on those bank commercials "hands in your pockets" theme, in support of the fee drop campaign of 2007. Here is one of my favorites:

Stephanie, I'd love to follow up, but sadly, I won't be there either. There's just no way for me to be in Toronto that day. So we'll both have to make do with Facebook and Twitter.
Thanks for the post nonetheless!
Well, it's the least (also the most) I can do. :)
I wish it was happening on a Tues or Weds so I could be there!
This looks amazing.
