In the lobby of the Merchandise Mart, a group of developers, designers, and business experts, some from other Midwest cities, gathered and introduced themselves to each other. Over the next 72-hours they would share a journey of camaraderie and learning to South by Southwest (SXSW), an annual music and tech mecca, in Austin Texas. Blackline Review was there with the story of the beginning of their epic journey. To track StartupBus Chicago, follow their trip on Twitter @startupbuschi. ❒
