Title: My trip to Vancouver

Abstract:

While you slobs were stuck here in Waterloo for the past two weeks, I was in Vancouver having the time of my life. In this talk, I will tell you why Vancouver kicks-butt over any city in this Universe and in the Star Wars universe, and tell you why only people with partial (or full!) lobotomies would live anywhere else if they had a choice.
