Sliding doors and remembrances of Northern Voice 2006

To me, there's a straight line that leads from Boris, Avi Bryant and myself meeting at a Geek Dinner in February 2004 to Avi's meeting of Debbie Landa at Northern Voice Moosecamp 2006 to Dabble DB's winning of Best in Show at Under The Radar to Dabble DB's funding! If Boris and I hadn't met Avi in 2004 would he have shown up to Northern Voice and would he have met Debbie Landa and would Dabble DB have gone to Under the Radar? Maybe, maybe not !

Here's how the line looks in my mind:

I bet there were a lots of other 'Sliding Door' moments at Northern Voice 2006 and 2005. Love to hear about them.
