Portland Ignites

Check out Ignite Portland on June 18th at the Bagdad Theather on SE 37th and Hawthorne. It should ignite ideas or passion in all who attend.

The idea is that a presenter gets 5 minutes and 20 slides which rotate automatically. They can present on topics ranging from 'Why Deutschland Loves David Hasselhoff,' 'How to Live Like a Japanese in Portland,' and 'The Complete and Utter History of the Numa Numa Dance.'

There is also a chance to win great swag. At Ignite 2 I won a pull over golf jacket, a UBS flash drive and a computer bag. It made the wait out in the cold worth it.

The organizers have set it up so that it is possible to register, download and print out tickets. So only those who haven't pre-register have to stand outside and wait. I wouldn't advise this, as they had a really good spread of hors d'oeuvres set up last time, and I suspect there will be some goodies set out for those of us who show.

Doors open at 5:30pm. Those without pre-printed tickets get in after 6:15pm until there are no more seats. The presentations start around 7pm. See you there.
