Remember that night I spent bashing my brethren mommybloggers? And then when Declan learned the f-bomb? The night where presentations last 5 minutes, slides auto-advance every 15 seconds, and everyone laughs their ass off?
It really is so much more enjoyable when you are in the audience as opposed to presenting.
You get to heckle people like Ef Rodriguez, who begins every Ignite with a song ragging on Denver. (Oh, you didn't know there is a friendly rivalry between Denver and Boulder? Yes. Yes, there is. And that is all I am going to say about it because it is going to stay friendly.)
And then there is a series of awesome presentations on varying topics. Last week in Boulder, we heard (among other things) about jumping off cliffs, meetings that don't suck, the history of social media (starting with PHONES), how to call in sick on a powder day, cast iron cooking (um, I need to throw out that teflon)... and Erika celebrated her birthday by giving my son Lesson #2 on the f-bomb.
All in front of 750 people at the Boulder Theater.
Have I mentioned the Colorado tech/nerd/social media community rocks?
Tara leaned over to me at one point and whispered, "Ignite is my favorite night of the month."
Agreed.

P.S. Declan is totally the mascot of Ignite.

There is so much to like - I was sad that there were a few things that dampened the experience for me. (My wife wasn't enjoying herself as she was feeling guilty about missing our son's piano recital that night. I wasn't - bad dad that I am.)
