10:15:20 From Barbara Tannenbaum to Everyone:
	The “Distain” era…1950s…was the decline of neon also because there wasn’t all the Federal funding to update & repair, too?
10:16:33 From Meryl Pataky to Everyone:
	and certain literary metaphors made about neon through those years in books, plays and music helped to propel that distain.  and redlining.

	HELLO to SHE BENDS!!!
10:34:27 From Barbara Tannenbaum to Everyone:
	Can you explain a bit more about using plasma in the tubing? It replaces neon?
10:40:07 From Douglas Wachtel to Everyone:
	Where do people go to learn the craft?  Is it sort of a master-apprentice sort of thing?
10:40:18 From Dydia & Paul to Everyone:
	Plasma is just the name for the fourth state of matter. When neon gas is ionized by high electric current in a sign the gas becomes plasma
10:41:34 From Meryl Pataky to Everyone:
	*bombarder
10:41:36 From Dydia & Paul to Everyone:
	You can read more about it from this article featuring a plasma art show at MONA: https://plasma-magazine.com/2020/02/01/the-art-of-plasma/

10:44:47 From Jim to Everyone:
	is there any relationship between MONA and the Neon Museum in Las Vegas?
10:45:08 From Suz Lipman to Everyone:
	The Circus of Books documentary is terrific.
10:45:44 From Suz Lipman to Everyone:
	(I agree, Meryl. I’m struck by the rich stories behind the signs.)
10:46:39 From Maureen R. to Host and Panelists:
	MONA building has a beautiful exterior. Did the museum move in to an existing building or have it made?
10:48:03 From Al & Randall SF Neon to Everyone:
	MONA and  the Museum of Neon Las Vegas are separate organizations, but we are thankful that they exist and preserve neon!
10:49:43 From Meryl Pataky to Everyone:
	it's so beautiful 😍
10:50:14 From Cindy to Everyone:
	Took one of MONA’s glass bending classes a few years ago and made my own crude piece - but light it up every day and love it! MONA is a great museum and resource.

10:54:15 From Stephen Coles (he/him) to Host and Panelists:
	great point!
10:54:23 From Corrie Siegel MONA to Everyone:
	Thanks Peggy!
10:55:09 From Katie Ann Gorman to Host and Panelists:
	Dare I ask if there are any current plans to help with the Castro Theater sign that was recently damaged here in San Francisco? Can this community help in any way?
10:55:16 From Stephen Coles (he/him) to Host and Panelists:
	Cities have to rethink how preservation is part of their cultural budget and maybe support sign shops in by funding repair, preservation, etc.
10:55:59 From Todd (he/him) to Host and Panelists:
	Question for Paul and Dydia: My understanding is that the Moore lamps were made on sight. Does any of the manufacturing tools still remain or any of the hardware or pumps?
10:56:51 From Michael Davidson to Everyone:
	Wish there was more UK based access to Neon. Seems theres a massive cultural difference to share knowledge in the UK compared to US
10:57:15 From Douglas Wachtel to Everyone:
	Thank you for the information!
10:57:56 From Meryl Pataky to Everyone:
	it's a massive difference Michael.  there is a workshop called Neon Workshops out there. Also in Sweden they started classes at historic Glass Factory in Boda.
10:58:29 From Al & Randall SF Neon to Everyone:
	Stay tuned for updates on the vandal’s damage to the CASTRO neon in SF. We hope insurance will pay for the repair.
