Re: So You Wanna be a Startup…

Hey Micah,
Thank you for posting this. I just interviewed David Cohen last night and I think he's one of Boulder's finest example of the limitless possibilities of bringing talented people together under one roof to do good work in the world. I'm excited to see what comes out of Boulder next.

@Eric: I've heard Boulder compared to Disneyland for grown-ups. If you're a startup, I think it's doubly true!
*ponders a return to Boulder*

Re: Japanese Trip Details

Hi Al,
Hope I can offer some pointers. Your trip sounds great! Trains typically run smoothly & on time (unless someone decides it's a good day for a train suicide).

You'll be in town at the same time as Brad Warner...he'll be down in Shizuoka leading a Zazen retreat next weekend.

A few rules of thumb, just to add to what any Japanese culture book would tell you:
1) Deference is key. If you don't know what you're doing, mess something up or make a mistake, apologize in whatever language you can (sumimasen whispered several times usually does the trick).
2) People will assume you don't speak Japanese, but it's a good idea to learn a few phrases en route anyway, just to show that you care...greetings and the like are just polite and friendly to know.
3) Prepare for hospitality and plan to bring a few gifts from America to share with people that go out of their way to help you, as they inevitably will (simple things like postcards or something do the trick).

Hope that helps a bit. Enjoy your trip, be aware of your space (this may mean speaking a little more quietly than you would back home), and remember people ultimately want to help and make you feel welcome. We look forward to hearing about your trip!

"You’ve restored my hope in the humanity behind the Internet and reminded me just how powerful women speaking their truths can be." -->you said it!!

Girl, it was great to see yr ass in heels. Wowza. Thank you for sharing your hotel + box in 07 + look how far we've come in that year. Who knows where we'll be in 09!! I hope you don't change your domain to TarableMom or something, though. I love "talltara" and you will forever be Tall Tara in my mind. Especially now. After the shoes.

Side Note: And I have a Guy story that will blow your mind. Remind me...
