Final day... Lots of tweets, lost of great info. I'm wiped out, and probably just too overstressed about my final dissertation conference call and a few other things all converging tomorrow; all capped by a 6 hour trip back home.

On Events: Why can't i just see the events I'm attending? (i.e. choose to in a drop down, likewise with events I haven't RSVP'd yet)
