Jinxed

We went to Stake Conference at the Columbia Village building.  We've been going there for years, and the past 6 or 7 sessions have been marred by a bad video feed.  It's not just jumpy.  Sometimes there would be no video for 20 minutes.  There were always technical difficulties, but it's closer than the Stake Center, and newer, so we just put up with it.  This time they decided to do two live sessions.  The talks and choir numbers would be exactly the same, but they would do one in the morning at the Columbia Village building, and then another in the afternoon.  We were sitting in the cultural hall and when they started, we couldn't hear very well.  Soon there were five men trying to get the speakers turned on in the back, but they never could figure it out, or maybe they were broken.  After straining to hear for about 20 minutes, we went into the Relief Society room to listen from there.  It was a little rowdy since the room is used by families with little kids, but you could hear over the kid noise.  There were several good talks.  I loved Annie's talk on obedience.  I'll have to ask her for a copy of it.  So conference was good, but the Columbia Village building is jinxed.
