Start a "hacker house" with two YC founders

34 points by Sam_Odio 18y ago

A friend and I are driving out to the Valley from Virginia for the winter YC round. I'm actually writing this from a car on I-40 in the middle of AZ. We're looking to start a "hacker house" in Palo Alto. It'll be a 4 month lease January through April. We're looking for 2 - 4 other hackers. If you're interested, check out this page for more details: http://bluwiki.com/go/User:Sam_Odio/Hacker_House or you can email me: first name at odio.com

Good luck guys... don't think you'll have any problem filling it with hackers, that's a great price in a great location.

  They're simply making use of "community resources" ;)

Perhaps you should include the "no-rape assurance" as a selling point. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=360910 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=360910

  I remember that thread! Maybe this guy does too, but no one that he's stayed with can give the no-rape assurance. WARNING: Until someone (whose account has existed awhile so you know that Sam_Odio didn't just make a new account to do it) gives the no-rape assurance, be very wary of his house. Kidding, for the extremely dense. I'll even say that Sam's never raped me. The fact that I've never met him is irrelevant.

    Ummm, the original thread WAS about Sam_Odio. See the parent of the post that kirubakaran linked to: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=360891 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=360891 I was one of the people that gave said assurance in that thread. I stand by my previous statement. Heh heh, assurance.

      Oh, didn't bother checking who that one was about.

a "house that hack built"?

Seems like there could even be a business behind having large houses and turning them into hacker houses...
