If you do, I suggest checking out the Open Angel Forum. We just had the boulder event on Wednesday night and it went really well. We are going to expand to 10 cities this year, including SF, Palo Alto, NY, Boston, Shanghai, Seattle and Atlanta. -- 100 folks apply for five slots. -- 20 uber-angels in the room (at least four investments in the past year) -- no fees to startups or angels best jason www.twitter.com/openangelforum

I attended the last OAF in LA, and highly recommend it. I got to meet lots of interesting entrepreneurs and angels - several of whom had great ideas for our company that we'd never considered. One of the startups (not mine, unfortunately ;-)) almost ignited a bidding war on the presentation floor! It's the best way to meet a lot of highly qualified angels quickly. We probably met as many angels that night as we did the month before. Even with the 'post hoc ergo proctor hoc' fallacy in mind, I don't think it's a coincidence we signed a term sheet at a great valuation the next week either ;-)

  While I'd love to see that happen, I'd also be amazed if it happened. The startup scene around here seems pretty poor from what I can tell.

  I think the startup scene here is just...wait there isn't one.

Jason, I know you don't post here all that often but please don't sign your comments. The guidelines ask users not to, and more importantly it takes emphasis away from your (very useful) comment and places it on your signature instead. From the guidelines - Please don't sign comments, especially with your url. They're already signed with your username. If other users want to learn more about you, they can click on it to see your profile.

  I agree with this, and I'd add that it's fine to include links, just not as part of a signature. Moreover, by prepending the http part you can make them clickable, e.g., http://twitter.com/openangelforum http://twitter.com/openangelforum.
