There are hackers by the ton here and no worries about where you live. You could find someone here and do a quick project together to see how it goes and take it from there!

It's cheaper to live out there then in San Fran, NYC or Boston.

Don't let location and the old adage of having to be in the valley stop you from innovating! IF you make something interesting or that has perceived value your work will get noticed!
