Trying to get to Stanford for Startup School
- attack 19y agoBeats my plan of using this month's rent money that's due today to buy a plane ticket and then riding my luck from there. Doesn't carry the same sense of adventure. Pro: Does reduce probability of having to resort to cage fighting for food.
- philcrissman 19y agoYeah, I think my wife would kill me if I used some of the the mortgage to buy a plane ticket.... Actually, I was hesitant to even post this, as I really don't like the idea of panhandling my way around the internet. But I haven't done this sort of thing, and don't see any reason I'll have to do so again... so I figured it's worth a shot to see if I can still make the event. Here's hoping. Wish me luck.
- Tichy 19y agoYou could offer some service, like promise to provide the best video coverage of startup school ever, or really good transcripts, or something like that.
- philcrissman 19y agoThat's a great idea! I could do that -- extensive notes & summaries for sure, and it's possible I could beg or borrow a camera. Not sure if they allow filming or how the sound would be, but it's worth a try. Good call.
- dshah 19y agoTell you what. If you'll agree to write up useful notes from the event that I can post to OnStartups.com as one or more blog articles, I'll pick up the $300 that you have left to raise. Message me and we'll take care of the details.
- philcrissman 19y agoI would be more than happy to do that; I had every intention of taking detailed notes already, this would just be further incentive. Found you on Facebook, I'll be sending you an email shortly. Thanks _immensely_.
- iamelgringo 19y agoCongrats on going to Startup School! And, it's cool that Dharmesh picked up the tab for ya. I was planning on contributing, but I've been working all weekend at my "day" job. Anyhoo, schedule your trip to stop by our Meetup the night before: http://entrepreneur.meetup.com/1737/ http://entrepreneur.meetup.com/1737/
