I look forward to this event every April and October. In my growing up years, my family dressed in Sunday best and drove to our church building to view all 4 sessions of LDS General Conference via satellite. Twice on Saturday, twice on Sunday. I distinctly remember falling asleep, briefly, on my father's shoulder. His tweed jacket didn't make a very comfortable resting place, however.
I'm grateful now to be able to enjoy General Conference from the comfort of my own home, in my comfy clothes, on my comfy couch, with pancakes or waffles lovingly made by B on a lazy morning. We just relax and partake of the vast wisdom and love generated at each session. Regular weekends seem to be filled with chores and errands and so many church meetings, but each April and October I savor a weekend with little else to do but lounge, listen and enjoy. Punctuated by lovely performances by the Tabernacle Choir, it's a semi-annual re-filling of my spiritual well.
Video streaming and downloads available soon here. I recommend talks by Henry B. Eyring, Jeffrey R. Holland (a personal favorite always), Thomas S. Monson, and Boyd K. Packer.

Is it pathetic that I always cry when it's over? I needed every single talk this year. Loved all of them.
Makes for a very relaxing weekend, we enjoyed lounging around all weekend and taking in all the sessions too.
