It was really nice. About 40 people there. Including an
old friend from my NLP days who's now a prof at Michigan.

I mainly went through examples, showed the trailer halfway
through, showed the animations of MCMC, did a little work
on the board when people asked why Gibbs and Metropolis was
so slow. Then about 12 of us went to a great craft beer bar
right next to the venue.

I think I have my slide deck roughly where I want it, but
I need a couple more examples of how Stan/MCMC is used to compute
event probabilities, multiple comparisons, and estimates.
Next time.
