Background: Startup Weekend is an idea where area developers/entrepreneurs/geeks gather and, from idea selection to launch, develop a web application, and hopefully start a bona fide company out of it.

DC’s Startup Weekend is this weekend. I never signed up because of various other commitments going on, but I am proud to be a cosponsor of it. Wish I had time to stop by!

They are doing a location-based social network, geared towards condos, apartments, etc. Similar to LifeAt, which was covered in TechCrunch earlier this month. I thought some of the other ideas they came up with would have been more interesting, but hey, since when do startups listen to investors :-)? While the utility is questionable, I think it would be fun to see more about who lived around me… and what the hell kind of music the guy above me insists on blasting in the middle of the night. I can actually think of some cool integration points they could do with my own startup. I’ll be in touch.

Best of luck to the team for the rest of the weekend, and beyond!

Thanks to Micah for doing all the blogging and keeping us posted as to the goings-on down there in dirty Virginia.
