I had the pleasure of speaking to a lively crowd at Ignite Raleigh 3 on February 16th on my favorite subject besides 5 Bucks is Change, “Fringe Sports and Odd Pursuits”. As a collector of new experiences and a cheerleader for small nonprofits, events and organizations I often find new and unusual activities to try, events to attend and sports to play. A few years ago I would share “what I did last weekend” my friends. So many of them said they regretted not knowing my cool activity that I created an e-list to let them know what I was up to in case they wanted to join me. Now I look for the fun and unique events happening in the Triangle area and pass the word.
The subject of my Ignite Raleigh 3 talk was sharing some of those experiences. Since there will be a YouTube recording available of the presentation in the future I won’t go into detail here. But I did promise to provide links to all the events, activities and sports that were featured.
In order of their appearance in the presentation:
The Raleigh Dragon Boat Club or their MeetUp page.
Triangle Gildes (Segway Tours)
Drag Bingo (Supports AIDS Alliance of the Carolinas)
Grandfather Mountain Highland Games
The Society for Creative Anachronism
Go forth and have a good time!
