I would have loved to have gone - I don't know about recording or a transcript or something, but I will try to find out.

Lol yes, I did see you were from the UK, but I thought perhaps you were in the states for something. Couldn't work out how you managed to stumble upon this otherwise... how did you stumble upon this?

Cheers.
