FWIW, I've always wanted a service like that. Good luck!

How did you get on the bus? Sign up process?

the application process was on startupbus.com ... you had to get a referral or an invite first, and then write a short application.

When I first heard about this I thought this was cool: a couple of people are going to build the basis of their startup over a few days as they travel on a bus! However, this is the first time I've seen the actual website and the whole thing feels more like a well-sponsored publicity stunt. I'm sure it's still an awesome experience for the people involved, but from the name of this thing I imagined something completely different.

I'm on the Cleveland bus. To say that this has been an amazing experience wouldn't do it justice. I have learned more in the last two days than I have in a long long time. Constraints do indeed breed creativity.

Had the San Francisco bus drop by as I was working at Gangplank in Phoenix today. Talked to some of the people and it sounds like an amazing experience. I will have to apply next year.

On the Chicago bus here. Currently in Wichita, Kansas. Our service is basically ready and we're going to sell it like crazy at SXSW
