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!

For sure. I know a few people who would be interested.

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

I know some techies in the area and I've already bombarded them with info. :) Definitely going to spread the word as much as I can.

let's get some more people from chicago to sign up on www.startupbus.com and then get sponsors from the area engaged. contact startupbus sponsoring team and we'll work to make that bus possible.
