I have been extremely lucky to organize and present the icebreakers and challanges at the last few Ignite Seattle events. Tonight will be no exception. Attendees at tonight’s Ignite will get to play (for the first time ever!) Ignite: the Card Game.
The game is based off of Quorum, designed by Greg Costikyan and Frank Lantz. To go into any more detail would give too much away. And there will be prizes! You can get some hints about the cards and the prizes from the photo above. Also, after tonight we’re planning to release the game under the Creative Commons license, so other Ignite organizers can use it.
If you want to play, the game starts at 7:30p, and will run until the talks start. See you tonight at the King Cat!
Running a business ain’t like dusting crops! Without knowing Star Wars, you could fly right through a star, or lose half your staff, and that’d end your trip real quick, wouldn’t it?

Ignite Seattle 10 is next Monday! As part of our effort to get organized and make this the most awesome Ignite yet, here is a quick run down of some important details for attending.
Ignite Seattle 10 will be on Monday June 14th. Doors will open at 7:00, icebreaker/game starts at 7:30, talks start at 8:30. The bar will be open the entire time.
As usual, the event is at the King Cat Theatre, 2130 6th Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98121.
21 only. We know there are younger people who would like to attend, but the venue is just not set up for it. We are looking at possibly doing an all ages Ignite, and we encourage you to let us know if you would like to help make that happen!
Admission is $5 at the door. Cash only (small unmarked bill greatly appreciated). The folks at the door are volunteers, so please be patient with them if they don’t count so well. Yes, you can use your credit card at the bar.
That’s it for now, we hope to see you there for another great Ignite night.
I’ve recently discovered sand-casting, which is a very cheap and very awesome way of casting metal parts at home. You can make your own car parts, robot parts, science projects or artistic sculptures – anything!
About David Cole
During the day, you can find David at Phinney Bischoff Design House where he works as a graphic designer. David creates and sells jewelry on the side – including goldsmithing and custom engagement rings, you can find more about his work at at davidcolecreative.com and in his Flickr feed.
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but we’re getting a bit more organized here at Ignite Seattle. So much so that we’ve identified a few things we could really use some help with for our next Ignite on Monday, June 14th.

@awoods So tweaking a talk title and description a bit and resubmitting for the next ignite is often a good idea. in reply to awoods1 week ago
@awoods There's always about 10-15 talks that were on the edge of getting accepted, so we always let folks know that not getting in... in reply to awoods1 week ago
@awoods Once enough people have confirmed, we post what we know and them let folks who didn't make it this time know... in reply to awoods1 week ago
@awoods We usually do a conf call a few days after submissions close to decide (always tough). Then accepted talks get notified... in reply to awoods1 week ago
