Are you alone in San Francisco on Thanksgiving? Join Us
- 7cupsoftea 13y agoThis is really awesome! Fantastic idea. I'm a listener on 7 cups of tea and would have loved to share a meal and a beer with you. I'll be listening on 7 cups for another hour or so if anyone is struggling and needs a bit of extra support.
- jbkkd 13y agoCould you tell us some more about 7 cups of tea? I've gone through the website, but personal experience is much better heard.
- 7cupsoftea 13y agosure. basically, 7 cups is a site you go to when you need someone to talk to or someone to listen to you.
- swatkat7 13y agoThat is an amazing concept! I just shared it with a charity organisation that works with people who are battling depression (@TWLOHA). I wish you the best!
- MediaSquirrel 13y agoIf you're interested, please don't be shy! We'd love to have you. If you want to come, just email me at matt@buttr.co
- aceperry 13y agoThat's a pretty cool thing to do. I'm not alone but wouldn't mind joining a group of people that I've never met before. If I didn't have anything to do, I'd probably take up the offer. Have a happy holiday!
- ohjeez 13y agoThis didn't apply to me -- I'm not in the Bay Area and I had a house full of friends -- but I wanted to say how very kind it was for you to do this. I'm thankful there are people like you in the world.
- jianxioy 13y agoI missed this! I totally would have gone. I was one of the potential interns at SpeakerText right before you guys got acquired and would have loved to meet you. I'm working in SF now, maybe we might bump into each other. :)
- brianbreslin 13y agoLove this idea. Hopefully they post pics. I wish I had a big house, I'd host dinners more often.
- MediaSquirrel 13y agoWe actually live in a small apartment complex. We're be hosting people outside by the pool and in a shared space.
- yashodhan 13y agoThis is really nice of you. Gonna take this opportunity to ask: anybody know of some good things to do in San Francisco on Christmas day? I'm coming to visit and will be alone for the most part.
- te_chris 13y agoOr New Years eve, my Girlfriend and I are coming through SF from 28th till the 2nd Jan, looking for cool parties, gigs, people to hang out with etc.
- beachstartup 13y agoeat good chinese food. if you're not from LA, SF, NY there's a strong chance you've never actually had chinese food.
- indlebe 13y agoin the USA that is. I've heard that Richmond B.C. has some of the best Chinese food in North America.
- sharkweek 13y agoHang on now... Come to Seattle, we can show you some Chinese food that will blow your socks off

- mgw 13y agoI was there last year and can only say that I had a blast with some great people. Thank you Matt and Stephanie for a really amazing Thanksgiving! Mike
- highace 13y agoAnother year, another startup as well it would appear!
- wismer 13y agoDoes SF have a large homeless population?
- sjtgraham 13y agoIt certainly appears that way when one spends any time along Market Street or the TL.
- ArekDymalski 13y agoThis is really nice. It reminds me about a tradition here in Poland. On Xmas Eve Dinner we prepare additional place at the table for any unexpected guest. As a chid I was looking at it and wondering who could sit there and nobody ever did. I also don't know anyone who had a chance to use it and actually there were several journalists' provocations when celebrities and politicians rejected such "unexpected guests" at their homes. So it's great to hear that the idea works on the other hemisphere :)
- nicklovescode 13y agoI was wondering whether I'd see this again this year. Good on you, Matt.
- pmiller2 13y agoMatt, you're a class act. Email me if you'd like to share a beer with me sometime (first one is on me).
- crag 13y agoA very good thing to do. I've got a place to be, but the gods know I've spent many holidays alone in some city. Thanks for being so kind.
- dakrisht 13y agoVery kind gesture, Matt. I'm sure you will meet some great people this way and have some interesting stories to share down the road! Happy thanksgiving to everyone.
- sebkomianos 13y agoThis is just so nice.
- PureSin 13y agoLast year I just moved to San Francisco and attended. I had a great time meeting a lot of people with various interests. Huge thanks to Matt for doing this again.
- brandnewlow 13y agoAt the dinner now! Big group. Lots of smart people from all over the world. Tasty food.
- swatkat7 13y agoI'm not there and it doesn't apply to me but I came here to tell you what an amazing thing you're unto. I wish you all the good in the world and hope you have / had a great Thanksgiving!

- rehack 13y agoFeel really touched, by the humanity on display on HN. Proud to be part of this community. I am not a US citizen, and don't celebrate Thanksgiving. But still, it fills my heart seeing such thoughtful gestures. PS: No upvotes please. Lest I feel guilty of posting this message...
