After the Interkona vespero last night, the party retired to the 
Thirsty Ear Pub for live music performed by two Esperanto musicians from Europe: JoMo (from France, from the group JoMo kaj Liberecanoj) and Kimo (from Denmark and the groups Amplifiki and Esperanto Desperado). The music was improvisational and multilingual: some were well-known favorites, other were translated into Esperanto, but they were all foot-stomping and toe-tapping good.
I was up until late into the night working on my presentation. I had planned to adapt the presentation I had done last year at MIT, but I discovered that I couldn't simply reuse the powerpoint presentation: the old isolatin3 fonts don't work and the powerpoint can't do UTF-8. So I used Keynote instead. I've been looking for a chance to give it a testdrive anyway. I found there were a few things I just couldn't seem to do: in particular I couldn't find a way to bind sounds to transitions. Oh, well. Afterwards, I slept reasonably well. As one of the other kongresantoj said, "la cxambroj ne estas tro komfortaj."
The keynote by Humphrey Tonkin was excellent. The topic was Esperanto: What now and what later? After briefly describing the history of the Esperanto movement for context, he summed up the problems that are facing Esperanto -- declining memberships and apathy -- and offered some suggestions. The primary suggestion was that the movements must reorganize themselves along the lines of current successful endeavors: seek money constantly for particular goals, rather than just accept dues for doing nothing.
My presentation about haiku was about as well attended as one might expect: a handful of people came and wrote haiku. Hopefully we'll be able to present our haiku at the banquet tomorrow evening.
Jacob gave a nice presentation about the hacking culture at MIT. Now I'm in a presentation about the Internacia Krimtribunalo. Which countries wouldn't sign the treaty? China, Iraq, Israel, Yemen, Qatar, Libya, and the United States.
