Marshall,

Your link to Aurgasm is broken. It should be http://aurgasm.us.

I'm really looking forward to seeing them in February. Are you going to one of the shows?

Re: [bijansabet.com] the personal tumblelog of Bijan Sabet

Yep, they're coming to the Somerville Theatre February 14-15, though tickets were going quickly when I bought mine a few weeks ago -- it's the first time they've toured since '04, IIRC.

Funny, I was looking at this bike a week or so ago. Pretty slick, eh? I like the idea of a folding bike since I could easily stash it indoors rather than leave it out in the elements or struggle to get it in and out of the basement every time. Anyway, it's a Strida. http://www.strida.us

I know you're also a fan of Bon Iver, so you should check out this Lykke Li / Bon Iver version of "Dance Dance Dance". It has a bit of a Beirut feel to it too.

Congrats to Tim and Geoff on 10 great years! The Cambridge Innovation Center is an institution, and the Boston startup scene wouldn't be the same without it.

Betahouse represented at these events too and is hosting the game on April 8th. I was out of town at SxSW for the first couple, unfortunately, but I'm looking forward to the next one!

Thanks, Jeff! I've heard good things about several of the people in your list, and a couple did get votes in the poll. Daniel Raffel also suggested Jeff Fagnan, who I hear has started to do some investing on his own. Jeff scored a vote in the poll as well, fwiw.

Thanks, David. I'd love to have you join us if you're interested in attending. Just request an invite on the site. Congrats on being named to the Silicon Alley 100, by the way.

Some are certainly more active than others. But to my knowledge, they've all made at least one personal angel investment in the last year, including the two who normally operate a venture fund. So I'm not sure any of them can be classified as misses. That said, I would never claim this list is perfect or complete. It's only meant as a reference point.

Thanks for the note on Jill Preotle. I've never met her, but she sounds great. Please mention Angel Boot Camp to her in case she hasn't heard about it. It'd be great to have her there.

Thanks, Kevin! The expansion is long overdue. But it's great to finally be taking the next step in our evolution and getting back to doing all the things we were doing before or had aspired to do. Looking forward to chatting more!

Wade, it has been an absolute pleasure reading your stories and getting to know you these past years. You've made a huge impact on the community and will be sorely missed. Best of luck in San Francisco!
