Any chance that a DVD could be made of the speakers talk for
all
the people that can't make it?  $25 sounds like a fair price
to me.

I asked our resident museum videographer to be there and do
some recording.
He said he'll try, but wasn't able to promise -- and we're
not able (or
really looking) to pay anyone.  Usually a few attendees
record on their own
and we're fine with that, as long as it's not for commercial
purposes.  On
the other hand, getting to hear the lectures and participate
in Q&A is one
of the great reasons to be there in person!!
