If you're in the Cambridge/Boston area next Monday, come join us for a hacker meetup. PG will be answering some user submitted questions on the YC process and how to increase your odds of getting in. Check out the invite for more details and RSVP if you're able to make it.

  This is going to be a ton of fun. It'll be a great way to network and really just hang out. Can't wait to meet all of you. -Garry, cofounder, posterous.com

Awesome you guys are going this. We should tie this up with the Hacker Meetups we've been running for the last 6 months in London.
- jmorin007 18y ago
  Absolutely! Feel free to shoot me an email and we chat about it.

We're bringing out some (as many as possible) Startuply companies that are hiring, too, so there will definitely be some opportunities here if you're looking to get involved.

I'm so tempted to go but that would be one hell of an expensive beer (airfare + stay). But... I could get a lot out of this since I want to start a startup. I definitely need to move to a startup hub. This type of meet up would never happen around here (South Florida).

sorry for the ignorance, but i notice it says "Be sure to RSVP and secure your spot at the meetup!". does this mean there will be reserved seating? or "sorry we're full" guys guarding the door? is it not a casual, "drop by for a beer" type of thing? i'd like to attend, but i'm not 100% i can make it yet.

  For now it's definitely a drop by for a beer, but if the number reaches a certain tolerance, then we need to cap it. So basically we just want to get an accurate number with the RSVPs to make sure the venue is prepared with us and we don't violate any fire laws by having too many people on the 3rd floor. You can respond Maybe if you don't know for sure if you can make it.

I'll be coming from Newburyport. If anyone from up here is going and would like to carpool, please let me know (daniel at flyingmachinestudios dot com).

The first YC08 Demo Day is only a few days after this event, so be prepared to offer moral support and feedback to those who are in the middle of that last push

I'd definitely like to attend, I'm a soon-to-be (full-time) entrepreneur and avid HN reader living in Boston. I'm strongly considering applying for the next YC round, so it'll be cool to see what pg and the YC summer '08 folks are up to, and hopefully meet you all in person! -Chris

"... YC08 Summer Founders Hosting Hacker Meetup in Cambridge. Come Join Us ..." I won't be going, "artichoke end of the world". But it does make me smile that an ecosystem of yc startups are supporting and using each others tools.
