… and it kills me to have to write that headline.  PSW is Memorial day weekend – it starts a week from today – and based on my awesome experience at Seattle Startup Weekend in January, I’ve really been looking forward to taking the Amtrak down and meeting some fellow-travelers in the Rose City.

However, I have this super-important project that I want to launch no later than May 31st, and my own personal decision-tree is such that I’d rather launch Crowdify than get that super dose of inspiration that I know I would have gotten out of PSW.

I was also looking forward to meeting Ray Angel, the new CEO of Startup Weekend – Ray, we’ll have to meet another time.  And to all you Portlanders who are going next weekend: have tons of fun.  My advice is to commit yourself 100% in order to get the most of the experience.  There’s a lot you can take away from an event like SW.

I look forward to seeing the fruits of your labor, and reading about your experiences!

I’m going to Portland!

After waffling for a couple weeks, I’ve decided to go to Portland Startup Weekend, after a tremendous experience last month at Seattle Startup Weekend.

I registered tonight and am happy as a clam. I signed up as “architect” but if it’s another open-source platform design, I’ll probably contribute to QA or project management or research or something. Anything is fun.

The location is still TBD, but may I offer suggestions?

1) Must have nearby bars
2) …. OK, I’m drawing a blank on any other suggestions.

YAY!
