As someone who lives in LA and is currently bootstrapping a startup, I would love to see more $$ poured in to the LA startup scene.

It seems like LA has largely been ignored by VC and angel investors.

LA is no Silicon Valley, but there is more money floating around SoCal than you think.

I assume you've checked in with the Tech Coast Angels (http://www.techcoastangels.com/) and some of Frank Peters' contacts?

Do you have any experience attending the event that's being held next week? What's the turnout like?

If you're on the east-side, don't forget about http://pasadenaangels.com

Feel free to drop me a line -- there is a scene, and there are investors, although of course it doesn't compare to SV.
