It was great hearing from Ben Schwartz. The location was perfect. Everyone seemed comfortable enough, and Ben got really excited about the organ and even was able to play it before leaving.

I really enjoyed Ben himself. He was very funny and I thought he gave great advice for students wanting to go into the entertainment field. However, the CEB hosts were bland and the questions asked made me cringe much more than made me laugh. Also, CEB did not crowd control very well and, thus, made the event last 1.5 hours longer than planned. They could have prevented this issue by limiting the number of people asking Ben questions. After a while, this became redundant and made many people leave early. Great entertainer, poor execution on CEB's part. Try again next time.
