As far as the banquet and talk re-arranement is concerned, well, all of us would have preferred not to have to do that, but we didn't have a lot of choices, and some of the changes were caused by Amano's wishes.
I did write back to her and explained in detail how the drained banquet was caused by the unfortunate chain of events beginning with Amano's demand to switch the talks.
Interestingly, if we had been in great communication with Amano, I think the perfect scheduling would have been to have the first half of his talk as one talk before Jan, then his demo after Jan, then the second half of his talk ("Nature Aquarium Home") as the banquet presentation. It was the PERFECT banquet talk.
