What a title, huh? Yeah. I like to make complicated titles. I imagine if/when one day people get into these, they’ll be even more appreciated, cause they say a lot. Do you want the spoiler of this title? Well, I went to a Mars Event - duh! Actually a LOT of speeches about mars stuff (but also two speeches speakers DIDNT SHOW UP! so I hopped over to a free museum + rose garen) and before that, first thing in the morning, I watched some skateboarding (and even befriended one skateboarding person randomly, quasi-befriended 2 more!) and thennnn well, I went to the new hostel (closer to the place/campus/mars event) after and it had multiple cats inside (I’m mega allergic), didn’t I even make a joke about this yesterday or the day before!?!??! Really I think I did now that we mention it. I’ll go look. Command F, you know what I mean? And then yeah, so I said F-it, I commanded they refund me and then I am back by the sk8rs… and changing my plans for the rest of this trip. Wow! Surprising huh? But, also not.
Why Attend: Bro! I wanna learn about Mars! And actually, I’m writing this paragraph AFTER the event - which is not what I usually do… and I’ll tell you, I just felt like this was a super interesting event about technology overall, not even just simply Mars. (That being said, it’s like HALF the event that last year was, to say the least). But, still interesting. Let’s gander at my notes, shall we? But first… well… I’ve ended up with 100+ pictures from today. And a GIF I promised to my new friend. So let’s start with the GIF, then multiple collages (for the sake of your loading speed) - and then finally, I’ll get into my notes. This is going to be a hefty one, so… grab your glasses, a tea, and a cozy seat. Mind your posture! :)

Notes from the Event:
I’ll put my notes, write Ai’s reaction time to time. And I’ll only use Chat GPT for now, but I may use both Perplexity and GPT tomorrow. I’m just a little low on energy to do it all. Today was legit insane and I spent lke 3.5 hours trying to find a home, haha you know? Well, you don’t but you will if you read this. I will co-write this blog with Ai, cause even at one point I was like, wow.. I need Ai to help me think through all that feels so crazy about this - you know? You don’t hahah. Omg. I keep saying that. But you will - enjoy :)
