- aschobel 18y agoExcellent, two blocks from the 33. See you there
- jdavid 18y agoanyone want to meet earlier? i should be at work by 10am.
- uuilly 18y agoI'll go.
- jdavid 18y agosweet stuff, looking forward to meeting you.
- tr4nslator 18y agosee you guys there.
- jey 18y agoI'll be there if I wake up in time.
- KirinDave 18y agoI'll show up around 9ish. I'm surprised it's not at Ritual though.
- ardit33 18y agoI think Ritual is so 2006. Ugh, the mission, I don't like the mission, at all, but I will try to make it.
- KirinDave 18y agoUh... what? The mission is one of the nicer parts of town. A lot of hackers move there.
- ardit33 18y agoI respectfully disagree with it I actually can say that the mission is one of the blighted parts of the city. Especially the area around 16th and mission, which is really dirty and has a lot of crime (from shootings, drug dealing to one of the highest car thefts rates in the city). The Mission is beloved by wannabe hipsters, that think they are cool and feel like "urban pioneers" living in a semi-seedy area. Or google engineers, as the shuttles go by there, and the yupified noe valley (which is actually nice and safe). Housing used to be cheap there, but not anymore, especially considering the blighted enviroment. I love the food in some places, though. But definitely not an intellectually stimulating area.
- gtani 18y agowell, yeah, but there's a world of delta betw Mission st and Valencia. Hoff/Wiese is the gringo Mason-Dixon line, and the parking garage 16th /Hoff, across from Wells Fargo is convenient if you hafta bring your hummer.
- KirinDave 18y ago> The noe-facing side of the mission around dolores park is quite nice and fairly inexpensive. I like it, and a lot of my friends live there and like it. And I am definitely not a wannabe hipster. So please, keep your baseless opinions, but don't try to sell them off as facts around me. > I love the food in some places, though. But definitely not an intellectually stimulating area. What does this even mean? A lot of startups were born in the mission, and a lot of hackers live there. Further, there's easy access to the rest of the city, and it's much less expensive to live there than many other parts of the city. What more, exactly, do you want? With respect to the coffee, I just want to go somewhere next time that has good coffee, and in the mission that means nd or ritual. I just got back from the actual meetup, and the coffee was the worst part. Maybe we should go to the bluebottle downtown next time. It's expensive, but it has terrific coffee.
- ryanwaggoner 18y agoSweet...see everyone there!
- brianr 18y agonice, i'm there.
- arjunb 18y agocool, i'll try and stop by too
- bdr 18y agoBTW, I think we should meet in the back where there's more private space.
- bbb 18y agoAre there any HN readers in the Chapel Hill/Durham/RTP area? And would you be interested in organizing something similar?
- hooande 18y agoHacker News Related Idea #13: Set up a website to organize these things and just post that to hackernews instead of posting each one individually. Seems like it'll encourage more meetups and it'll give a few hackers something to work on before they apply to the next YC session :-)
- menloparkbum 18y agoA hacker meetup at 9 in the morning on a Tuesday? And 17 people have already signed up? And someone is proposing doing it even earlier? head explodes
- jdavid 18y agothat was fun, i hope we can get together again. maybe a coworking session saturday morning? 8am?
