Berman debate team, summed up his experience in a Facebook post: "The final presidential debate of 2016 was held at 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó, and I was lucky enough to be right in the middle of it all. October 19, 2016 will always live in my memory as the BEST DAY EVER!

After the debate, history professor Michael Green described this key personal moment from Spin Alley: "I had looked earlier at Charlie Pierce’s blog and saw he was in 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÃâ·ÑApp. Turns out he was in the first row, so I went over and introduced myself. He gave me a big greeting — he reads the comments — and we talked a bit. Then I took my first selfie ever, though he had to show me how to do it. Now that I know how, I’ll never do it again."
