Olivia, User Generated Book Tour

Where's the Love Boulder?

At first glance, it appears the title of this post could also serve as the title of a seventies-style lite rock album. Hm. Truth be told, Sarah and I are feeling pretty chilled out after amazing beach-filled holidays with our families. Which is why we're really pumped for the LAST tour stop on the epic User Generated Book Tour: Boulder, Colorado!

It's been a rocky road getting to this final stop, what with some crazy unforeseen scheduling conflicts, so kudos are in order for New Tech organizers Robert Reich and Micah Baldwin. Thanks to their undying enthusiasm, Sarah will be appearing at the December Boulder Denver New Technology Meet-up on THIS Tuesday, December 2nd with books and t-shirts to sell, and pen poised to sign. (more details here)

However, Robert and Micah are probably the only two Boulder-ites (Boulder-ians?) that I can think of as we've heard nary a peep from the rest of you! Despite numerous requests for return trips to neighboring cities like Portland and Seattle, Sarah's had her reporter's eye trained on Boulder. Yet, we've had crickets chirping in return. I mean, Boulder's constantly touted as a hotbed of entrepreneurial and tech activity, right? So what gives? Where's the fire that led Sarah to select Boulder as a UGBT stop in the first place?

Here's my proposition: SarahLacy.com will be in town for one night only, and we want Boulder entrepreneurs to show Silicon Valley's top reporter what mountain men and women are really made of. If anything, it would be terrific to end the UGBT with an icy beer and a bang! So BE THERE.

Really, it's easy. Easy like a Tuesday evening. (How's that for some seventies-inspired cheese?)

Would have loved to have met you, but I am traveling this week. Hope you enjoy it.

You mean Robert and Micah haven't organized a big party for you? And I thought I hadn't heard about it because I wasn't invited. But seriously, I'd love to hang out after the meetup.

It could be the excuse I need to finally make it to the new tech meetup. Seeing Robert & Micah at another Boulder event just wasn't going to be the motivator for me.

Me and Room 214 is going to be present at this NTM and I would love to say hi!

Boulder is a hospitable town, with a vibrant tech scene. The people here would be glad to buy whomever a drink - no matter if they lay claim to special reporter entitlement. But we don't take kindly to being called out.

I recommended Boulder months ago but now I can't make it. 6 week old twins will keep me at home. :)

Well said, Brian, you put it much better than me.

@robin - I might be hurt at your comment, if it wasnt so true! I am not motivated to go the tech events I attend either! :)

All in all, a fun, mellow visit. I hope we helped change your minds, Olivia and Sarah, about Boulder and its tech scene.

"Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky" puts a well-deserved spotlight on the fascinating entrepreneurs working in some of the most overlooked places on Earth.

Brilliant. Crazy. Cocky.

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.
