Minnebar was this past Saturday here in Minneapolis, and we wouldn't dream of missing out on one of the biggest local tech events of the year. We caught some interesting sessions, ate some spectacular roast beef, and followed along on Twitter during the day while hanging out with friends and making some new ones, too.

Watermelon Slices

The roast beef really was unusually delicious, and the free spread even included watermelon slices. I'd like to think it was ordered special for us.

The highlight of the event for us was both watching and participating in the lightning demo rounds. I really loved the very meta lighter flame iPhone app for concerts by CodeMorphic, and Paul was pretty interested in FanChatter. Just before those two we were able to do a quick demo of Scribbls for the crowd. Unless everybody was laughing at us, I'd say it was very well received. We weren't even able to get to all the questions from the crowd because we couldn't hear anybody over the roars of laughter. I guess Kitten Bacon isn't just funny to us after all.

After the demos and closing comments, we had some beer (thanks sponsors) and enjoyed making connections with several people. MinneBar gets all the best local minds together, and we can't wait until next year.
