Anyone up for organizing one out here in the Bay Area for the same weekend (or the near future, if Nov. 12th is too last minute)? I have an iPhone app I've been trying to finish for a while now, but real life keeps getting in the way. This would be the perfect final push to get it over the goal line.

I would like to put something together but I'm not sure I've got the resources to pull it off myself. If anyone else can help, please contact me -- my email address is in my profile.

A product is never finished, only shipped. It should be called Ship Weekend

Very true, but then we wouldn't be able to transition to a vacation site for weekend getaways in Finland if things go south…

Its still a good idea coming from a good place, good luck! And do it in SF Bay Area sometime!

why? Is my english that bad?

No, no, you English is fine. However, its highly ironic that you never managed to finish and launch your event. An event who's entire purpose is to help people finish and launch things ...

its like rain on your wedding day

I had a similar idea. I called it a launchaton (contrast with hackaton) but thought of it more like a virtual event (I'm not in Sillicon Valley) but never got to really execute it.

not sure if trolling.

What is trolling about that?

> you English is fine

Speaking of ironies, a sort of reverse-Muphry here?

This is really cool. I'd suggest, though, that the creators of the site give more info about the venue and the people that'll be there- I live in Chicago, so it would be really easy to head there. I could probably drag a bunch of people with me, but I know they'd want more info. Totally exciting though, and I like the choice of place.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll be sure to get more info regarding the venue and location soon. If you're in Chicago, come on over!

I would definitely make it to one as well.
