400 VC guys coming into Chicago for the week and weekend. This is how you create commerce in a city to create revenue, taxes, spending, positive absorption of houses/condos.

This is Rahms doing. does he get credit for this?

What other mayoral hopeful would even come close to organizing this?

I'm sorry, having JB Pritzker at the helm suggests that he, not Rahm has just a bit more to do with this.

I agree it helps, but I am surprised at the level of denial of how hard the guy has worked to create a tech industry in Chicago, this is just an extension of that.

Rahm is the mayor, he isnt going to be at the helm of the project, but a number of those attending are people he is connected to as well.

Marital status divorced was the most suprising thing to me, who would marry it?

I know many cases of guys who if not for the money might not have ever had a date, yet alone getting married.

Will admit as a young'in didnt think the "Gold digging" was as real as it is. No matter what level of society.

20/20 report...Google it up, probably can find the show.

Scenario 1 - STU is a 4'11" Venture capitalist with 3 homes (Miami, NYC, Aspen) worth over $300 mill. 5 girls rate him on scale of 1-5....I think he got no less than a 3..some 4's and a 5. (5 being highest)

Scenario 2 - STU is a 4'11" unemployed actor, struggling to make ends meet and is working temp jobs to support himself. a new set of 5 girls....nothing higher than a 2

Stu is actually a friend of mine, now in LA still trying to be a an actor. Maybe you remember him from his most famous Chicago role of playing the guy who likes to eat crap taken from the portapotties from attractive men, as a featured character on the Mancows Morning Madhouse program. :o
