You make friends (great ones, at that). You find all the coolest places.

TEDxHarambee is today Milwaukee 12-4
brewcitysafari: Tune in and get inspired. Help create some real change with fresh ideas today.  https://www.facebook.com/events/142424555918306/ http://www.tedx-milwaukee.com/ I feel like a TEDx in Milwaukee is something I should have heard about before the day of the event. Was this poorly promoted, or have I just been unobservant?
