Ignite Denver 4 - with Music!

So I wasn't really looking to book an act for Ignite, mainly because I know nothing about looking for, booking musical acts, and have no money to pay them.

Then my friends chimed in.

Past presenter Jun Heider and Scott Sheridan, and Eric Fickes have gotten together to form Divo... no wait that's taken, and those guys would look silly in red hats. They're the Compilers!

During Intermission at Ignite Denver 4, they'll be playing some tunes for us, which I really think is awesome! Like I said I wasn't looking for music, but when it drops in my laps, and it's people I know and think are awesome! Well it's hard to pass up!

So make sure you RSVP for Ignite Denver 4, we sold out last time, and Casselman's hold more people, but I'm sure we'll fill up, so don't dilly dally! Register now!

Ignite Denver - awesome 'how to give an ignite preso'

This came up on this magical mailing list that Ignite Organizers use to talk about David Hassolhof, er... never mind.

Anyway, Scott has an awesome write up on 'how to do an Ignite Preso'. it's good stuff.

Thinking about presenting, read Scott's post, then go submit a topic.

Haven't RSVP'd yet? Better get on it. We've got more room, but we'll probably 'sell out' again! RSVP Now!

IgniteDenver - already some awesome raffle items

Jared Brown reached out to me shortly after I announced Ignite Denver 4, with some really awesome stuff.

Jared Brown is a self-proclaimed nerd-artist living here in Denver. He grew up on a steady diet of G.I. Joe and Transformers, and a myriad of other things they’re making terrible movies out of these days. His work consists of cartoonish robots doing human things like going to work and dating. He also has paintings of Star Wars and 80s cartoon characters. His site, RobotsOnCandy.com, showcases his most recent work as well as an opinion page where he reviews books, movies, and video games.
Jared sent me some prints to raffle off next month at Ignite Denver 4, it's gonna be hard to not frame them and keep them myself.
 
  
  
I can't wait for Ignite Denver 4. RSVPs are moving at a great clip, I fully expect we'll "sell out" again. 
Remember, we're looking for some sponsors to help cover some expenses of Ignite, if you're looking for exposure for yourself or your business with some of the coolest folks in Denver, this is an awesome and inexpensive way to get in front of a lot of people.
Thanks Jared! (twitter)
