The videos from Ignite Seattle looked like a lot of fun.  Shall we try to
get a group to go to this?

The first Ignite Boston will be on Thursday, May 31, from 6 to 10pm at Tommy
Doyle's <http://www.tommydoyles.com/harvard/> in Harvard Square, Cambridge,
MA. From 6-7pm, mingle and talk tech with your fellow FOOs, alpha geeks, and
techies from the greater Boston area. Join a MAKE challenge team and
participate in *building bridges* (how much weight can your bridge–made from
less than 1K popsicle sticks–support?) After that, we'll have a special
keynote address from author Scott Berkun (The Myths of Innovation; The Art
of Project Management) kicking off our Ignite night. Then, onto guest
speakers who'll catch you up on the cool, new, innovative stuff going on in
technology today. Don't blink or you'll miss their lightning-fast,
five-minute presentations. During intermissions, get a cold beer and chat
with speakers, sponsors, and O'Reilly's own editors. Join us Thursday, May
31, for a fun, energetic evening of talking, learning, making, collaborating
(and drinking!). Check out the events and activities of our
