Ignite Philly (2)

Ignite Philly (2) is up next Tuesday (the 23rd) at Johnny Brendas. Let me tell you a little secret. Our Ignite is more awesomer than all of the other ignites. Sure, Ignite NYC gets covered by The New York Times. Ye old Ignite Seattle on their 5th event, and they get acts like Dan Savage. And even Baltimore is getting into the act. So what do we have that they don’t?

Those other Ignites don’t have US, the completely awesome and slightly rabid Philadelphia audience. Throngs of geeks, techies, and artists who crave crazy and new ideas like Lumas craves star-bits.

Yeah, it’s Dorky. 2006 ‘Person of the Year’ (the one with a mirror) dorky, and totally true. Philly’s geek/teckies/maker crowd PACKED 300+ people into J.B. upstairs. So packed that we had to turn people away (don’t worry, we have that all fixed now). We give the speakers 5 minutes, 20 slides, and maybe a few beers. And they give us back some sweet sweet mind-candy! If you too need a fix of awesome and new ideas, you know where to go (J.B.’s) and when (Tuesday, 6ish).

BTW, IgnitePhilly is brought to you by P’unk Ave, TheHacktory, Philadelphia Startup Leaders and the letters S.M.R and T.  And the awesome photo above is from the Roz. Just, you know, if you want someone to blame. Or something.
