As one of the founders of a new Madison startup I'm anxious to meet other web startups and meet (and hopefully hire) great people.

Who's connected and knows the hubs?

Once in Chicago, head on down to Wentworth and Cermak and you'll find something cool for Chinese New Year.

If you want to stay local, the six Chinese people in this town *might* be celebrating if you can find them.

...and stay away from Yen Ching unless you enjoy vomiting. Imperial Garden on U and Allen is FAR superior.

I've got a contest going at my blog (http://phdetails.wordpress.com/) where you can win a sweet "I heart Mountains" bumper sticker! I'd love to give it away to somebody local, so I can see the bumper sticker on your car/bike around town.

The contest is in support of an event this weekend--63 hours of silence--which I am imposing upon myself to raise awareness about coal mining in Appalachia. (Hence the bumper sticker). Would love your participation in the contest/weekend!
