Trips to Boulder, CO and San Francisco, CA

Luke and I traveled to Boulder, CO in August to visit TechStars and watch pitch day.  We met all ten 2008 teams as well as the founder David Cohen.  We learned a ton about what it will take to make something like this happen in Lexington.  We also met StartupWeekend founder Andrew Hyde and scored a StartupWeekend event for Lexington, KY on November 21 – 23, 2008. 

While we were there we found time to climb a mountain (probably not a mountain by CO resident standards, but a still a mountain by our standards), teach swing dance lessons, network with awesome people at TechCocktail, and attend a salsa dance party.

In September we went to San Fran to attend Mobilize. We met leaders in the mobile space, marketing geniuses, mobile investors, and one crazy taxi cab driver.  We also met some really interesting people hanging out around bonfires on the beach at night.
