Stop. Boulder Time.

There are a lot of reasons why our last User Generated Book Tour stop isn't as epic as it really should be. None of them are good.

In other cities we've had several events-- usually culminating in at least one 50-to-400 person bash/signing-- letting me sell books, yes, but also get a great sense of the entrepreneurial climate in the midwest, west, south, northeast and even Canada. I've met thousands of entrepreneurs from all industries and daily keep in touch with many of them. I couldn't have asked for a better tour.

But here we are in Boulder with nothing planned aside from a short cameo at the New Tech Event tonight and wild hopes of some sort of TweetUp. This is largely our fault. For a lot of reasons, outside of anyone's control, the Boulder stop has been continually pushed back from August to September to October then November to now. But I'm putting some onus on Boulder too. For all I've heard about how entrepreneurial it is here, I'm frankly hearing dead silence when I've suggested Tweetups or asked for suggested locations or even cool people to meet.

Now, some have suggested people in Boulder are just busy working hard. OK, but so are people in the 14 other cities I've gone to, right? And part of an entrepreneur's job is to be self-promotional. Here I am, a reporter with two huge platforms in Yahoo Finance and BusinessWeek wanting-- nay begging-- to meet you and hear about your company, and there are, at best, crickets chirping? This isn't an ego thing on my part-- the reason other entrepreneurs have come out has little to do with me. The UGBT has mostly served as an excuse to get like-minded people together. It's just the sharp difference in the response from Boulder and 14 other cities that's got me puzzled. Nevertheless, here I am in Boulder-- even with a nasty cold-- about to go out and hoping to be wowed.

Fortunately, the fabulous Matt Galligan of SocialThing has taken Olivia and I under his Boulder wing and we're about to hit The Med for some drinks and tapas, then New Tech and then we'll be at Hapa will Micah Baldwin and some New Tech folks, so even if you're not coming to the event, come there to say hi! I'll Twitter any change in plans. (Twitter name: Sarahcuda)

I only brought ten books -- which seems wishful thinking giving the rousing interest in my arrival! As usual, they are $20 and come signed with pretty much any inscription you want. Also in the UGBT tradition, if you show up with a pre-bought copy of the book, you get a signature and a free drink at Hapa or wherever we hit next.

So, come on, Boulder! Let's be friends!
