UGBT Boston: New Englanders, Come Out to Play
We've landed in Boston finally- narrowly avoiding a Hurricane Ike spin-off tornado in our connecting city, thanks in part to a renegade pilot that is now one of my personal heroes. Gotta love that salty, go-get-em spirit. Speaking of, did I mention Sarah Lacy is here in Boston?
She's keynoting at the Taleo Worldwide conference on Wednesday, but we can't spend the whole duration of Sarah's FIRST-EVER visit to Boston standing beneath a powerpoint presentation. So, we want all you natives to stop by the UGBT event tonight at the Good Life Bar! Of course, there will be books and T-shirts for sale, and Sarah will lovingly sign any and all copies. (Three books gets you a free shirt and the holidays are coming up....just sayin'.)
Special thanks to Gradon Tripp, Rich Dibona, and Rebecca Corliss for their organizational prowess. You're all wicked awesome.

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.

"Keep airsick bags handy" is not the most comforting message to hear when you get on a plane. Yikes.
I guess it's better than "You might want to wear your life jacket already if you don't know how to swim."

Hi Sarah and Olivia,
Thanks for braving the wild and crazy skies to visit Boston. It was great meeting you both yesterday. In your writeup about the city, please be sure to mention our friends from Southie that bought a book. :)
