The 48-Hour Launch sponsored by the Company Lab begins next week (on the day that Skyrim comes out! Noo!). For anyone interested in being a part of a team bringing innovative local businesses and ideas to life under an inspiring 48 hour time period, sign up here at the 48 Hour Launch event page (<--click this link, if you didn't get the hint). The $40 ($25 if you are a student) is to cover meals, etc. You may choose to simply volunteer the event.
Description from the link:
This November’s 48Hour Launch provides a platform for building collaboration among Chattanooga’s entrepreneurs, creatives, specialists, and business minded people to join together in teams and accomplish something awesome together over a weekend. We will have three different types of teams representing technology based ideas, product based ideas, and social innovations.Yesterday was the idea pitch night, during which people with ideas, innovations, or businesses (that need help starting up or expanding) put their thoughts out for the audience to begin the networking process by which teams will group together for the projects. ANYONE is welcome to come help out with the process. If you are interested in technology, business, or any media designing, or (better yet) if you have skills in any of these fields, or if you just want to come help and be a part of the community, sign up and come help out!
Over $30,000 of prizes will be awarded to winners in these three tracks, with each prize package including valuable business services from local supporters of innovation. In addition, up to three business ideas will be admitted into the SpringBoard Accelerator Program ($1500 value each). This will be awarded to the top three ideas selected by a panel of qualified business leaders and social innovators.
I'm excited! I'm currently learning how to use a program for use in one of the ideas pitched so that I'll be of a little more help when we start on Friday. Really consider coming if you can! This will be a great experience for everyone and, if you need a little incentive, you might be a part of the next BIG thing in Chattanooga!

Now I gotta get to sleep. I can't let myself get back in the habit of staying up until... well, never-mind, it's almost 3:30am. *DON'T SLEEP IN*
