that general conference adopts the practice used by awards shows of starting to play the music when the award recipient blabs on too long. Imagine how sweet it would be if the organist starts playing the closing song 1-minute after the closing prayer starts -- whether the speaker is done or not. I think that people giving prayers would catch on really quickly when the music is cued and people start getting up and leaving.

conference could use some jazzing up. I would also like some piped in crowd music, people dressed in Nephite garb, wrestling matches with the anti's, and possibly a laugh track. Oh and a lottery. These are just a few of my suggestions. Give the people bread and a circus.

A couple of contest winners should be able to sit in special Lazy Boy recliners, or perhaps a hot tub.

at summer camp last year one of the kids from the other troop was asked to bless the cobbler late at night. He gave what must have been a 10 minute prayer, but it seemed longer.
There seems to be no good way to interrupt a prayer in our culture. The kid who gave the prayer is a little bit socially awkward. Good kid, smart, but awkward. |

In such a case some throat clearing, ahem, from an adult might bring the extended soliloquy to a close. |

I would love to see the new 70's etc. introduced by a magician or ride in on a zipline. Or to have President Hinckley carried in on a throne by some stripling warriors. Lastly (for now) I am thinking preconference introductions along the lines of the NBA all-star game. Complete with light show and spotlight. |

Or we could go all religious and have speaking in tongues and physical outpourings of the spirit of the type seen in the scene at the church in Borat. |

What about a little play-at-home game with prizes? There could be code words or phrases that people at home could be listening for in the talks. When they hear the code word the first 10 people to send in a text message could win a $100 gift certificate to Beehive clothing, a new triple combination or a 1-year supply of wheat.
