So I got a last-minute request to go to Dartmouth for a projection call.  I arrived to find I was showing a slide for a live-streamed debate between Dinesh D’Souza and Bill Ayers.  “The Ultimate Fight Between Left and Right!!!”  (Interestingly, all the google search results for this return almost a full page of links to reactionary far-right extremist websites: The Blaze, WND, Town Hall, American Thinker, etc.)

Bill Ayers and Dinesh D’Souza prepare for their debate at Dartmouth College.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to actually hear the debate because I had to use the new Barco film=projector-replacement which is really, really loud.  But I get to meet Bill Ayers and have him sign a book for Stephanie.  When he came out to sign books, he sat down and said, loudly, “That guy sure does make things up!”

Me and my terrorist pal, plotting the overthrow of Western Capitalism.

So, it was fun, and I wish I could have heard it.  Before the Barco, I could open the projection window and hear the stage, but with the noise of the Barco, the audience can hear it, so the window must remain closed.  I had wanted to use their Christie, but it was not available…
