Beers with Brad Feld tonight in Seattle
I admit that my blogging has trailed off as of late. What with Twitter, TeachStreet blogging and articles, and life in general, it's seemed less important to be posting on No Snivelling. But, a good amount of planning went into tonight's Brad Feld event, so just in case I missed any loyal readers, here goes:
Brad Feld will be coming to Seattle and tonight, he's doing an event called Beers and Boulder with Brad. He'll be talking about entrepreneurial communities, the critical importance of entrepreneurship and innovation today, TechStars, what we�ve done in Boulder to drive entrepreneurship that can apply to other cities such as Seattle, and why they're expanding TechStars to Boston. He'll then stick around until they kick us out answering any and all questions and talking with whoever wants to hang out.

I helped organize the event as part of TeachStreet's goal to help people "Learn Something New" -- in this case, how to get off your butt and start a company!
Three great sponsors � Beacon Law Advisors, Square 1 Bank, and Microsoft BizSpark are underwriting the event.
If you aren�t in Seattle tonight, the event will be streamed live. If you are in Seattle, come join us.

I hired a lawyer -- the train moves forward!
It's a small thing in the bigger picture, but I'm excited to note that I ooGooRoo, actually hired a lawyer today -- I'm particularly excited because:
a) he was referred by a friend who I really trust
b) we've had a number of extremely positive working sessions already, and
c) I think he's going to teach me a lot about the startup/fundraising/business building process -- I'm expecting that he'll serve more of an advisor role vs. simply a legal resource
We closed the deal with a mixture of equity and fee smoothing, and it was sealed with a handshake -- I'm happy with it, and I think he is as well.
FYI -- his name is Chris Hurley -- he's a Principal at Beacon Law Advisors.
