It was getting late and it was time to make a decision. Would I take the hit and spend the $300 to go the 2009 MassTLC unConference and try to figure out how I would get out to Burlington, MA that morning? It was a tough question. I had graduated a month earlier, was unemployed and just starting to discover the Boston startup community. It seemed like a lot of money and I really wasn't looking forward to taking a 90 minute bus ride out to the Sun campus.
I was ready to pass on it for travel reasons alone when my roommate's friend suddenly mentioned she worked in Burlington and could give me a ride. I decided that was enough of a reason to go...and it would be the best decision I ever made; the 2009 MassTLC unConference is the reason you are reading this here today.
