Chicago Public Radio Waiting Room

Another shot from the other night.

I am still unsure what to think of the meetup. I have never been bullish on Chicago's tech community and this event didn't change that.

For some reason Chicago still tends to lag behind the coasts even with a level playing field called the internet.

I think the culprit is the culture and the industries that employ most of the tech people here like banking and insurance.

Maybe, it is just me and the type of tech community that I am seeking to be a part of. Could be that the coasts and the vibrant innovation that is occurring in the Boulder (yes, I said it) fit me best.

Dude you are a part of the Chicago tech community, so make it what you want to be.

You were in Boulder with me. You can't tell me that the community out there isn't more cohesive than here.

It is also palatable when you take part in the communities in Seattle, Portland, SF and NYC. The vibe is completely different.

With that said, Eric and Frank are doing an great job with Tech Cocktail to bring change.

Some might take umbrage with my sentiments but I am looking to have what I see and experience elsewhere here.

So you are right, Evan. I need to get to it.

Anybody, want to sign up to help us make PodCamp Chicago an event that helps change our community?
