UGBT: Seattle and Portland
So, looks like I'll be stopping in Seattle and Portland in late August because I'm speaking at Gnomedex which I'm very very excited about!
That's all I have planned. Ideas for fun events in either city? People who can help plan? People who want stickers and posters? Leave it all in the comments! :)

New Book
An unforgettable portrait of the emerging world's entrepreneurial dynamos Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky is the story about that top 1% of people who do more to change their worlds through greed and ambition than politicians, NGOs and nonprofits ever can. This new breed of self-starter is taking local turmoil and turning it into opportunities, making millions, creating thousands of jobs and changing the face of modern entrepreneurship at the same time. To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.

Was literally just in Seattle this last weekend. I'd be happy to make some intros to the Web 2.0 scene up there.
I also know some folks in Portland. They have this group Legion of Tech, which I'm confident would put together a gathering.

Thanks, Justin!
Hey Sarah, I'm the chair of the mysterious Legion of Tech that Justin mentions :-)
OK, we're not really so mysterious.
I'd be happy to pull together an informal Tweetup while you are here in Portland. Email me and let me know which days you will be here geekygirldawn on gmail. I'll get it posted and help get the word out to the local Portland types.
