A quick note to say thanks to Brady, Bre et al - for another great Ignite event. Cupcakes were gorgeous and the talks were a blast. I even got to express four years of "alley vs valley" in a compact 5 minutes!
Thanks to Sean, Sam, Jeff, Howard and Sarah for the inspiration!
NYC Tidbit: The classy theatre venue for last nite was a favorite haunt well over 10 years - it was a second run moving theatre [pre netflix, itunes]. You youngins may ask what the heck is a second run movie theatre? Back in the day movies that had been out for a few months would disappear into blockbuster oblivion. Worldwide Cinemas would screen them - ticket price $2. Of course the economics didn't hold out so alas they went belly-up. Good times.
Here the chat. Hugh graciously created a cartoon for me that alas - did not make in time for last nite's preso so I used it here:
I also want to give a shout out to Daphne & Bill & the ExpoTV staff for hosting the first ever P&G Social Media lab cocktails prior to the event. We had a great crowd, great food ,great conversation and even a few games of pool. I particularly enjoyed getting to introduce partners to each other and getting feedback on how we can make the program even better. I am hoping to make this semi-regular kind of event. There is nothing like face to face for making connections. I particulrly am going to explore how to make these events broader without losing the intimacy and ability to really chat.
It was a great time. The only thing that would have been better is if the cupcake break had been accompanied by actual cupcakes for everyone. Deb and the rest of the presenters rocked! It was an honor to be in the room with all that creativity and humor.

Deborah,
You hit the difference between Alley and Valley right on the nose with this preso.
But, the big tall building with the great cafeteria on 57th Street is the Hearst Building, not Conde Nast (or Conde, as you presented it last night). The latter is located on 43rd Street, right in the heart of Times Square.

Thanks for letting us host you last night! We had a great time, and the staff is still eating the brownies today. (Thank goodness not the rest of the food.)

They look like apps! How beautiful! I enjoyed my iPhone but have gotten the iPad just recently though I've only been playing puzzle games. I'd like you to try out StarFaces if you have one. Certainly one of the best iPad app. I had played this game on my iphone for a while and now I have it for ipad and its great! Love the photos option
