UPDATE!
The KRS-One lecture was earlier tonight, and I was left amazed at how truly intelligent KRS is... not that I ever doubted it, but I got a taste of it.
I got there at around 6:15PM just to be sure, and I was the first person in line and pretty much the first person to get in, other than the man himself and the people affiliated with the organization who put the event together. (By the way, while I was waiting, I saw KRS-One get there and go inside, I was probably one of the first people to see and greet him.)
The lecture was awesome and went well beyond the subject of Hip Hop; it was also about philosophy and life... very insightful. And what was even more interesting was that it wasn't all about him. He only talked referred to a few of his own experiences (not even really about himself) a few times, but in the context of the point he was trying to make. The only time he really talked about himself was when he was talking about how people need to respect their elders, then he used Hip Hop as an example of that, saying how when it comes to rhyming skills, he is #1, even at 40. And I respect that. Overall, I managed to fit around 25 minutes of random footage here and there (mostly in three-minute clips) onto my 512MB card in my smaller Canon digital camera. My other camera (a higher-quality Canon digital camera that I reserve mostly for picture-taking) has about 100MB of high-quality pictures. After the entire lecture was over, he was kind enough to take pictures and sign autographs; I took a couple pictures with him then left at around 11:30PM.
I'll try posting some pictures later, but if anyone has some webspace that they're willing to let me use, the footage can be uploaded.
