Last Friday a great thing happened.  TEDxMinneapolis happened.

The theme this year for TEDxMinneapolis was focused on the brinks each one of us has faced and collectively face.  Deeply personal stories from six speakers were highlighted on the stage along with some moving mini documentaries by David Puente.  Over five hundred people rocked the Cowles Center for Performing Arts and Dance with new ideas and new connections.  The evening kicked off with an opening performance from Shapeshift, a local hip-hop dance company originating from Minneapolis – the Midwest’s new hotbed for artistic innovation and creativity.  It’s so hard to convey the vibe and energy from last week in words, but here are some of my favorite tweets from the event:
