Tell HN: I'm building a startup aboard the Startup Bus en route to SXSW

I'm aboard @thestartupbus along with 24 other coders, designers and bizdev folks who are building startup projects to launch at SXSW. We began the trek 36 hours ago at the Vast.com offices in SF and are currently somewhere in southeast AZ (or maybe TX).

Me (@euwyn) and @shiftb are building Pairwise (@pairwiseinc), a Foursquare for business networking at SXSW and other conferences. Other great projects are being built as we speak. BeNeighbor.ly matches people with others that are willing to help. Dormdorm is AirBNB for university summer housing. Datebrowsr aggregates data from online dating sites. Stalkbox aggregates information from Foursquare, Gowalla et al. Txtli is a "Twitter for Cars".

A full description of our projects can be found at the following link, as well as a game that lets you virtually "invest" in the most promising ideas. http://game.thestartupbus.com/i/2d8a97d

You can find our homepage with a live map of the bus and live video updates http://thestartupbus.com

Feel free to send along tweets of encouragement to @thestartupbus and come find us at SxSW!
