One of the coolest events in NYC is IgniteNYC. Its a night where their are about a dozen presenters who each have 20 slides to tell their story. The kicker is that each slide lasts 15 seconds, so its a fast moving 5 minutes. Its ran by Tikva Morowati and Brady Forrest.
This Ignite they tried something different – an iPhone App battle – where people had to use an iPhone Music App to perform in front of the crowd, in which the winner would win Web 2 Expo tickets. I chose Bebot, only because Heidi (who sat next to me) happened to have that, and I felt most comfortable with that one.
So I went up and did my thing, and it wasn’t as good as I thought it’d be, but apparently it was good enough. I had the crowd clap a beat, while I put on a horrible beat box, and played the Bebot at the same time. Damien Basile has video of it – but I can’t find it anywhere. Turns out there were only 3 performers, the ohter two of which were Heidi Hysell and Kyle Cameron. They are awesome people, and
I plan on doing one about the Orchestra soon – so when that happens I’ll give you more information. I first heard about Ignite through Tony Bacigalupo of New Work City after he rapped during his presentation, which was recorded by my friend Meghan Asha. The video is gone, but the memory remains!
