During BIO 2006, Puerto Rico Gov. Aníbal Acevedo-Vilá was named BIO Governor of the Year. I missed him and the reception to honor him but caught up with his Secretary of Economic Development, Jorge P. Silva-Puras.
Closing Reception Band
Iowa was the sponsoring state for the closing reception. They hired a great band to play on the main stage.
The Lone Drummer
On my way out of the reception I found some new things. Like this lone drummer/performer.
The White Drum Dancers
This performance was very cool and my favorite of the night.
Great Flute & Drum Action
Once you got into Field Museum for the gala reception last night you were greeted with mini crabcakes since Maryland was a sponsor. Mmm, mmm good.
IL Blues At IL Pavilion
You can’t be in Chicago and miss the blues and thanks to the IL pavilion we had some awesome blues.
Blues BIO
The barbershop guys were good but give me some blues. Like these guys who were singing about Georgia.

The Horse Clonerers
If you’re not “horsey” then you might not have heard about the fact that a couple of horses were cloned recently and seem to be doing very well. They’re the result of a collaborative effort between Viagen, Inc. and Encore Genetics.
Adventures of Moopheus and Leo
If you’re in the dairy business and have seen The Matrix then I hope you’ve got a sense of humor. This is funny. Actually it’s really a sad waste of misguided talent. It’s a Matrix film spoof to blast corporate farming called The Meatrix II. I never heard of it before but the group doing this claims the first one’s been downloaded over 10 million times and they’ve won awards for it. They are short animated movies.
