Great post, the excitement pops off the page, it wants to make you leave your cube right now, drive to the nearest airport and fly to the Valley, without even getting your coat (which would be awkward in Chicago's miserable weather today).
I've been in the SF area many times and seen many of the things he mentions, so why does it effect me so, I thought? It must be the excitement of just venturing into the startup world, meeting all those people, and just having that awesome feeling that things are finally happening to you. It must feel like your first kiss ... you can watch people kissing on TV a million times, like reading about companies on HN, but it's a total different thing when it happens to you.
