Sounds fun. Wish I was going to SXSW!

Just get on the bus and take it for a ride to Austin then - the bus is one of the most intense hack events anywhere.

I was on the bus last year and couldn't afford the SxSW admission. It was still one of the best things I've ever done and many things I did and learned in the last year were enabled more or less directly by the StartupBu

last year i was also on the bus. in summary - it was a blast, but let's put it this way: in big part it was thanks to the bus that i've moved out to the bay area from the midwest.

Gotta say - doesn't matter if you're in or not at SXSW. Maybe for the interactive, you can't go to the panels...but there's parties..and then during music? There's so much free stuff all over the city it's insane.

This things was a blast last year -- and produced not only amazing business/product stuff, but also an interesting 'alumni' that is even stronger today. Highly recommended!

Elias Bizannes (organizer of the Startup Bus) is awesome and I'm sure it will be a lot of fun + productive.

Don't forget if you are going to fly instead a number of us are taking the "Nerd Bird" flights on SouthWest, which will be geek-leaning fun time.

Aww hell, and I already booked my flight.

I have a few invites. Let me know if you need one.

I'd love one if you can spare it. Just hoping the plans for a Chicago bus actually come true!

If you can get the Chicago tech community excited and supportive, that will help the case. We'll make the final decision based on where the most participants and sponsors come from.

yeah we need some love from chicago. i am actually from chicago originally, now helping organize startupbus, so i'll do what needs to get done. let's get a chicago bus rolling!

faitswulff2• 15 years ago

norova, do you know anyone else in the Chicago area who would be interested in doing this? Let's get the ball rolling.
