Even though Brookhiser gave his permission to the Athenaeum to put up his talk on the Ath's extremely shoddily run website, they still haven't put it up, some twelve days later.
Fortunately, I was there with my Flip camera and put it up on the Claremont Conservative's YouTube channel.
Today, he's linked to the video I took of his talk before the Athenaeum on his blog promoting his book, Right Time, Right Place. Just two days later, nearly 300 people have watched Part 1 of his talk, which is a lot more than the estimated forty or so people in the Ath the night he came to speak. Take this as Exhibit B of why the Athenaeum needs to start putting its content on YouTube and why its current policy needs to be overturned. (I am currently working on that behind the scenes.)
Here's what he had to say regarding his visit to the Athenaeum. (He references the perennially bad art behind him.) Here's what he's wrote,
My RTRP talk at Claremont is online here.
The paintings behind me, whatever their merits, are ill-suited to video. People have said the same about my jackets and ties.
