Ignite Boise 6

The 6th edition of Ignite Boise hits the town on Thursday, April 21st at the Egyptian Theatre in downtown Boise.  Doors open to advance ticket holders at 6:00 p.m. (sorry, all tickets have been scooped up), and to the general public at 6:30.  Everything on stage kicks off at 7:00.

If you’ve been to an Ignite Boise event in the past, you have a fairly good idea of what to expect, although from my experience, each one is just different enough to keep them interesting.  If you’ve never been to one, however, now’s as good of a time as any to start.

Don’t miss it.
