Hacker House Tents: $10/night, cheapest place to stay in California
- mr_justin 18y agoI'd rather be in a tent at the beach than in some dudes backyard. 3G == Don't need your stinkin wifi
- siong1987 18y agoWe have awesome internet connection. 35Mbps.

- lacker 18y agoTechnically, there are places you can camp in California for cheaper than $10 a night. But this does seem much easier and certainly more entertaining. ;-)

- showerst 18y agoIs the dog there? Is the dog awesome? ... This is at least as important to me as the location/price/amenities/cool people

- kqr2 18y agoGiven the recent sweltering Bay Area weather, I wouldn't really mind sleeping outside.
- phd_student 18y agoDo you guys hold social events? Edit 1: (I want to meet people actually working on startups rather than those that just talk about them in various business conventions.) Edit 2: Maybe something like the YC dinners, except people bring their own food / contribute some dish / or pay. Edit 3: I'm more interested in meeting the people at HH than renting the room.
- jmtame 18y agofew thoughts: 2: possibly, i haven't thought much about that. maybe if this is successful, we can use part of the money to fund a party of sorts. 3: i'm sure they're just as interested in meeting visitors too. you should definitely book sometime.
- phd_student 18y agoactually, I may try to throw a party for programmers instead :-)
- jlees 18y agoCheck out the Tech and Beer house too then - they had a BBQ last weekend, very nice to meet some startup people there. (The BBQ was posted on HN, I don't think the house itself has a website)
- derwiki 18y agoWhaaaat? That place is known as the Tech and Beer house? Haha :) It was a solid event, at any rate.
- furyg3 18y agoCheck your laws (fire codes, too). Former neighbors of mine got in trouble for having friends stay in tents in their backyard for a while. Granted, they were meth-heads, but what they got in a lot of trouble for was the tents not the noise/drugs. If you're running a "business" based on tents in your backyard, you could attract the wrong kind of attention, too.
- jmtame 18y agowe don't tell people about our meth operations, that's a pretty underground business.
- jlees 18y agoI just stayed at the Hacker House last weekend. Awesome place. Can't really vouch for the tents though ;)
- rjett 18y agoIf HH tents takes off, beware of hippy drum circles cultivating in your backyard..:-)
