This weekend I took part in the second annual BarCamp Seattle, an unconference in which 300 people come primed with ideas to share and questions to explore. I like unconferences because I feel like I'm running at 4x clockspeed and I often get pulled into situational comedies like the lightning rants (I was the one ranting about lolcats) or sounding boards like the "Startup in a Box" session which Rob Eickmann and I pulled together after discovering that we've been ruminating on a lot of the same questions about how to smooth the mechanics of startup legal and financial initialization.
I was also wrangled into sponsoring the Sunday morning donuts and coffee, so I'm partly to blame for the 300 pairs of too-tight pants walking around Seattle this morning.
