It would be awesome to get together with fellow YC News community folks who are around the area.

I was going to put out something also whenever Startup School invitations go out. Then again, maybe they have and I'm out of luck. :)
danielha 20y ago
Absolutely. I was also thinking of setting something up as soon as we received word on admittance. I would love to meet the YC News community. Maybe even grab a drink afterward. Talk startup. :)

Definitely - count me in.

Parhaps you could all meet at the new Palo Alto OpenCoffee club. Details at http://localglobe.blogspot.com/2007/03/palo-altos-opencoffee-club.html

  This seems like a good suggestion. If I get an invite to the Startup School, I'll be there.

    It seems that the crowd at OpenCoffee is mostly comprised of visiting international folk. I'm going to stop by next week and check it out. I'll let you guys know how things go.

Count me in too - as soon as I get an invitation to Startup School :)

I'm going to be in the area the weekend of StartupSchool (March 24th). Anyone up for coffee then?
- Sam_Odio 20y ago
  Hey guys, I just set up a wiki to discuss getting together: http://startup_weekend.bluwiki.com/go/Startup_Weekend/Events I was thinking we could grab coffee at 8, and then walk over to the auditorium together. Who's in?

If only I weren't in school on the East coast.

  where on the east coast are you?
  - dougw 20y ago
    North Carolina. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to be exact. Yourself?

Are you all planning on flying out there are or you from the area? I'll try to fly out (and most definitely meet up) if I am accepted and if it's within my budget.

Count me in as well. Can someone please post the location and time details? I could not see info on how to get invitation to "Palo Alto OpenCoffee Club" when I clicked that link. I get message "That venue is private".

  "weekly Palo Alto OpenCoffee Club on Tuesday between 830-100 at Deuce France in the Town & Country Village close to the intersection of El Camino Real & Embarcadero." It's open to anyone (hence opencoffee) so no need for invitation. You just turn up and enjoy. The first one in London drew 120 people during the 2 hours, completely overunning the starbucks where it took place. I hope Palo Alto will be the same.

    Thanks. I assume 830-100 means 8:30 AM to 10 AM then. Wish it was over weekend,

Anyone in NYC interested in something similar?
- r0b 20y ago
  yes, we should do an east coast meetup. Count me in. Say, next week some time?
JMiao 20y ago
FYI, I made this post aside from Startup School -- I was originally hoping to meet up with other YC News peeps in the Palo Alto area (maybe those thinking of applying for Summer Founders?). Regardless, observing this thread's progression, I'd also love to be able to meet as many of you as possible (put faces to those comments!) whether you live around Palo Alto or will be in town during Startup School.
- prashantdesale 20y ago
  Arranging this over week-end would really help a lot.
  - JMiao 20y ago
    Well, what I mean to say is that the number of meetups is simply dependent on those interested. YC News gatherings shouldn't ultimately be restricted to Startup School weekend. I figured that it would be great if YC News goers in the Palo Alto area get together since we're probably sitting in the same neighborhood. Ideally, it would be awesome if YC News communities got together with peers in their immediate locales. Know what I mean?

Count me in, just make sure to announce the time and place here :)

Someone make a post about how it went, I may be able to join in on a later date (like April)

Is anyone else from Los Angeles interested in something similar? uWink would be a pretty sweet meetup spot.
- zach 20y ago
  Hey bgold, the BarCamp monthly dinners are a pretty good venue for that kind of meetup. I went to one in January - it was pretty cool and I'm planning on being at the next one. Unfortunately, BarCamp LA itself is the same weekend as Startup School. But the monthly dinner is the Tuesday before: http://barcamp.org/BarCampLosAngeles

Startup school replies just came in. Let's go ahead and decide that meeting place in Palo Alto. The school ends at 5:30, so we should all meet at 6 and discuss what we've learned.

Guys I missed the deadline for application. If anyone got approved but can't attend, please, I'd be very thankful to you for sharing your invite with me, I can even consider buying it! Thanks! Please drop me a few words to white@chief.la

How about Chicago? Anyone interested in meeting up in the Chicagoland area? Talk tech, talk startup, over joes or en grosse bier.
