We're officially on this list but will move to SF regardless! PG: can we _still_hang_out_ with you guys on meetup nights. I'm serious.

I hope you enjoy your move to the Bay area. It's delightful. And, if you want to get to know some people in the Hacker community, http://HackersandFounders.com http://HackersandFounders.com gets together every couple of weeks. Let me know you're coming, and I'll buy you a beer. :)

    I usually attend its a great meetup. Although i think the bayarea is a bit boring compared to NYC..make it really boring

  I'll be moving to the bay area as well, wish I could have been getting the experience of the YC sessions, but this sounds great

    I think that we all wish that we could get the YC sessions, but we actually have a lot of cool people show up to our meetups that you can talk with and learn from. I always have at least 3 or 4 great conversations that I learn from. We have guys who're working on their 4th and 5th startups. We have guys attend who have exited and are looking for the next go around. We have startup owners that have been in business for several years. A lot of guys are just starting out on their own, and are interested in feedback on their apps, or whatever they're working on. And, people generally buy pitchers of beer, so if you're broke, you don't have to worry about it. :)

    Where's the best to stay in the bay area. My concern is good neighbourhood, is closed to tech events and of course has to be ramen-affordable too! I know it's possible to find the best of everything.
