Hey @tdooner, can you add the video links to your post too? I think this might be the best place to put those.

I broke out all the videos so I could do something mindless for a few minutes and make them more searchable

This is great @chris - what about the filler videos … for example before Jen took the stage on Day 1 there was a video with her talking about her background. There was another video of this sort part way through the Day 1 main stage stuff… and on Day 2 they used the video from Brigade Congress. While I can add the Brigade Congress video, where are the other two? Are they already published? if so, which were they?
