I have nothing intelligent to add. Just congratulations!

There were plenty of people who wanted to be there but couldn't: PLT friends, friends and family who have moved away, people with scheduling conflicts (such as my previous advisor), etc. This was all Jay's idea. Major props. Also, I'm a doctor! Bwahahaha!

He will be defending his dissertation soon and we're going to stream the talk for anyone who is interested. The defense is Wednesday, June 11th, 2:00pm MDT and we'll use Hangouts on Air at this URL: <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/cf900dgqvd68meg8toa1tstiqp0" target="_blank">https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/cf900dgqvd68meg8toa1tstiqp0</a> After the defense, we'll put up a recording and his final dissertation PDF.
