As someone who wasn't able to attend this year because I changed jobs a month before the meeting and had to give my ticket back to my old employer, I would gladly pay $50-$100 for a video pass if it meant getting access to the content sooner.
It was quite a conference, and several of the talks were really good. I too wish they posted the talks publicly sooner, but posting them through the year seems to be a very effective way to sustain buzz.
I just wanted to say thanks to puredanger to putting this thing on each year. The quality of the talks exceedingly high, but honestly the buzz about St Louis is my favorite part. Its great to see people come in from the coasts (and all over the world) and watch the tweets as people discover restaurants, breweries, and all St Louis has to offer. Its nice, at least for a weekend, to see my city not reduced to "flyover country."
I hope that people take that enthusiasm back to their respective homes and keep it in mind next time St Louis comes up!
