At my own peril from my New York friends, I have to go on the record here and say that Boston is a really great town. The last few days have been outstanding. Took a great run today through Boston Common which is reminiscent of Green Park (where Marel found a four leaf clover!) or Hyde Park in London (where I was fortunate enough to spend a great deal of time during my tenure with Orchestria).
Now – I have been here when it is so cold that it freezes you the moment you step outside and the wind cuts through to the bones – but it is June and Boston is in all its glory. Had a great meal on Newbury Street at Tapeo (great Spanish place – try the scallops in saffron or the sausage with fig). Have a full calendar of press/analyst meetings and a bit of time at the Enterprise 2.0 conference this week. Even got to have lunch today with a friend from a previous start-up who is one of the smartest people I know. Proving the world is truly small, I met some folks tonight at dinner that were from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
