This reminds me of "Launch an App Month" last November (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1773398).
Here's the Facebook group that was formed for those who are interested: https://www.facebook.com/groups/launchinnov/
Starting is easy. Finishing is hard. Finish something at Finish 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…
Sadly, only for people with bad spelling - I think "Finnish" has two N's :-)
Just claim at the last minute that the domain name and all the press releases were spelled by an idiot, and you just noticed his mistake
Re: Starting is easy. Finishing is hard. Finish something at Finish Weekend.
#53That's why you should start from the finish line and move backwards.

#54I love this idea; I hope to see it spread to other locales as well. Anyone for a Finish Weekend Portland?
+1 for Portland, definitely.

#55I totally love that this is happening in a small midwestern city I've never heard of before and it already has about 100 RSVPs. I'm impressed - and if that sounds condescending it's b/c I've written this poorly. I think it's damn cool.
It seems a lot of smaller towns with local Universities or Colleges have more activity than one might expect. Slashdot came out of Holland, MI while Rob Malda and Jeff Bates were attending Hope College.

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 ...
Ok I got the irony. Sorry. The thing is having ideas is even easier than starting. But having a good idea barely prepares you to execute it. I'm very, very bad at social relationships so it's extra-hard for me to do something that involves motivating a community.
I'm still going to give it a shot though.
