(note: You can look at the slides and text here; video will be posted as soon as I get it.)

A week and a half ago, I received an email asking me if I'd be willing to do an Ignite talk for the March 4 NYC event, part of Global Ignite Week. If you're not familiar with Ignite, here's the deal: You have 5 minutes to give your talk; you create a PowerPoint presentation to go with the talk, but here's the kicker: You must do 20 slides, and the slides will advance automatically every 15 seconds. Talk about creative restraint inspiration! Not only is it an amazing challenge and a great place to flex your speaker muscles, but the Ignite platform also reaches far and wide into multiple communities, and can be a huge opportunity to reach lots of audiences with your message. Was I up for it? Sure.

Then the panic set in. Oh my God, what I have I signed myself up for?

At the Streb Lab for Action Mechanics… this was one of the coolest feelings ever. Highly recommended!

I'm super excited to announce that my new segment on GRITtv with Laura Flanders has launched! I'll be doing regular segments featuring all things tech: politics (like episode 1, here), life hacks, sanity checks, gadget giddiness, you name it. Have suggestions or hot tips? Send them to blog AT deannazandt.com!

IMG_3348.JPGRemember the funniest press release of all time? The final performance was Thursday night, and I've got a bunch of pictures and videos from it… watch as John and Dogbowl discuss Nancy Pelosi, perform some hits, talk about the other musician John Hall (who just got elected to Congress), as well as read from his forthcoming book, "Daily Negations." (Watch the videos here, after the jump.)

Whatcha doin' on Friday night? Lookin' for a little late-happy hour action?

You're in luck: I'm part of a huge book release event down at the Bowery — cuz I'm in the book! "Bowery Women" comes out on Friday, and this ain't yer mama's poetry, kids. And to reflect that, we're throwing a huge shindig that's FREE and has 2-for-1 DRINK SPECIALS. Dang… no better deal than that. Extra special bonus: you'll see me on stage! Reading things! Performing!

Details on the party and the book are after the jump; hope to see yas there. Oh, and please feel free to spread the word, far and wide!
