That wacky Tech Music summit, featuring Thomas Dolby, J Allard, and a gas leak

How about that? My wife (pictured) and I both got to meet Thomas Dolby today at the Music Tech Summit in Seattle.

A construction crew also severed a gas main outside the Experience Music Project building right after he started his opening talk, so there was a significant delay before the organizers found another theatre venue nearby in the Seattle Center. There were a number of insightful music industry types there, as well as Microsoft's J Allard, head of the new Zune team. I took a big bunch of photos throughout the day.

I also recorded audio, which I'm hoping to make available either through the grammy.com site or at Inside Home Recording in the near future after I do some post-processing of the sound to improve its quality. I'll let you know.
