I went to good entrepreneurship roundtable event in memorial union yesterday. I talked to the guy who started Sconnie Nation (who used to live in the dorms with me) and a blogger whom I was referred to by a class speaker. Both were very enthusiastic and helpful in the want to help me with my future business ventures. That's the way business should work. Notice how I linked to them because I wanted to, not because I'm paid to.

At the very last second when I was talking to Rebecca, another dude came into the picture. He said he was a student and said he was in the entrepreneurship club on campus. Then he invited me to an event (that I just returned from) saying that there would be 30-50 Madison area entrepreneurs getting together. I figured it would be a cool way to meet with other up-and-coming entrepreneurs.

<-----Fast forward to today------>
i get in the car, as the meeting was at the Sheraton, and ask the dude what he studied. He explained how he was a young professional. (ok...)And that the four of the people in the car with me were all a part of the same company. "So what's the company?" His reply was "... it's hard to explain. That's actually why we're going to the Sheraton. The really successful entrepreneur I told you about last night is going to explain it for you."

Presentation:
"Hi, my name is [insert name]. I'm here today to talk about a great business idea. What is more important, time or money?"
<----One hour later-------->
"... with Q*u*i*c*k*s*t*a*r* ..."

I was very polite with everyone there as I felt like it was my fault for being so stupid as to actually think this event was sponsored by the entrepreneurial club. i'm still really pissed off that I somehow convinced myself to take time out of studying to dress up in business professional and go to this thing. i have one test tomorrow, two presentations thursday, another test monday and a paper tuesday.

Notice the linking for such a great company.
