Ignite NYC II & The Cupcake Decorating Championship

Nick Bilton

Ignite NYC II takes place at New World Stages this Monday, September 15th, the night before Web 2.0 Expo kicks off. It’s the follow-up to July’s first ever Ignite NYC, which was a featured in the New York Times.

This is my cupcake

Prior to the Ignite talks, Ignite co-founder Bre Pettis will be hosting a The Cupcake Decorating Championship.

There are two rules.

* A relatively normal sized edible cupcake must be involved.
* No explosives (Sad, I know. But too messy!)

Brady Forrest has more on Ignite NYC II over on the O’Reilly Radar blog.

I’ll be in NYC for Web 2.0 Expo, including Monday’s Ignite NYC II. We’re kicking things off with our Laughing Squid NYC Drinkup this Saturday, September 13th.
