A VC blog I chanced upon a while ago contained this lovely epithet, which was a source of some consternation for one of the bloggers who felt that this phrase (used as an appraisal of the VC scene in NY) was too harsh.

And yet I can't help but think that it may be an apt description for the startup scene in Boston.  My comrade Mr. John Watson wrote me an email yesterday with this content:

    Were I in 'Frisco, I'd attend stupid shit like this: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=5907866589&ref=mf     People say that Boston is a startup & technology hub.  What     am I missing?  Is there initiative that needs taking?

After some thought, we decided we were right.  There was initiative to be taken.  And who better than some idiots who want to start a startup?

So I put it you, loyal MOCDL readers (all 2 of you).  What should we Bostonians do?  Who would be fun to invite to speak?  Or would we be better off with just a meet and greet at a cool location?
