Yelp as a way to build attendance at IDEA Cafe.

We invite people to attend one time, we say if we are successful they will be too busy to come back to the next meeting. When we started doing this there was almost nothing being offered for startups, now there is a flood.

We continue to encourage people to get to work, not waste time in a lot of meetings, so getting those who have just decided to go in a new direction with their work like is an increasing challenge.

We are testing some advertising online, Yelp is one of the experiments. you can see what we are doing there by clicking the red Yelp button in the upper right hand corner.

Don't settle for just a neighborhood when you can live in a real village.

Link to very short video of me pointing Save the Caucus in a new direction after last Thursday evenings debate on HB 16-1454, a new every-precinct organization that will be able to resurrect the Colorado Caucus if the Colorado Senate doesn't do the right thing:
