&lt;P&gt;Regional sleepless contests have been held&amp;nbsp;for DC, Atlanta,&amp;nbsp;LA, Dallas already. And&amp;nbsp;I'm at the Chicago one right now where several die-hard techies and trainers have braved an overnight snowstorm&amp;nbsp;and some nasty driving conditions to&amp;nbsp;make it&amp;nbsp;here!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can read more about the regional contests and see the latest videos/pics at the sleepless contest blog: &lt;A href="http://www.infusionblogs.com/Sleepless/default.aspx"&gt;http://www.infusionblogs.com/Sleepless/default.aspx&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
