Leave-the-car-at-home day

So, what did you think about the event last night? (I was seduced away by Cinefest and will even confess to driving there. And yes I even bought gas at the opportunistic price of $1.099.)Anyway, was it a success? Large crowd? Opinions changed? Planet saved?

Design of science communication is my particular interest so I'm curious to know how well the event was prepared:
Was the content well presented and appropriate to the audience?
What kind of experiences did the participants have, to engage them with the content? How much was passive, active?
How did the activities relate to their life outside the event? Connections to their past experience? Potential for following up afterwards to increase their knowledge if they choose to?

If I come off sounding teachy here it's because I miss the day to day interaction with the group.
