I have a huuuuuge embarrassment squick, but by the end of this incident it was so far into the surreal that I was grooving on the absurdity of it. Which did not prevent us from going to extreme lengths to avoid leaving the theatre at the same time as Yelling Guy. ::shudder::
As for the Incompetent Programmer, I've gotta figure she's got blackmail material on the head of the fest. Because she was spectacularly incompetent at introducing films and running Q & As. She introduced the first film I saw, which was the first time she failed to provide the name of the guest and fell on the way to the stage, but I just thought "It's her first film of the fest; she's nervous." When that all continued to happen it started looking a lot less like first night nerves and more like a total failure to do a big part of her job.
