Ask HN: Startup School Meetup, SF, Sunday 25th 6pm
any others looking to make the most of the startup school weekend?
a few people have talked about an informal meetup over beer, I guessed at a time/city that would be best,
noisebridge could be a possible venue, but would prefer a member confirm that it would be cool, or a local to suggest somewhere.
- kirubakaran 17y agoCan you use our tool http://EventGel.com/ http://EventGel.com/ to coordinate this and tell us what you think? This is our new startup. Since we are aiming to be useful to exactly the thing that you are planning, it will be great if you can tell us how practical our tool is and how we can make it work better for you.

- daleharvey 17y agoSure cheers, http://eventgel.com/ev/startup-school-techmeetup/ http://eventgel.com/ev/startup-school-techmeetup/ got a few feedback notes for you but Ill compile them all in one email
- kirubakaran 17y agoAwesome! Thanks.
- nico 17y agoWhere in SF?
- daleharvey 17y agothats what I havent decided, I dont know SF in the slightest, I just think it should be easy to get there by public transport, and quiet enough to talk
- icey 17y agoI just wanted to add that we're working on the design right now, so the look of the page is going to change in the next day or two.
- icey 17y agoI'm not sure if anyone is still reading this thread; but if you are we recently launched our redesign of eventgel. Hopefully it is a little easier to use now.
- blasdel 17y agoI'm making a vacation out of it: Wednesday through Monday, staying with friends in Berkley and Oakland. Planning on renting a bike, riding up into Marin, and tooling around on the old fire roads. There's already a pre-event party on Friday night.
- zacman85 17y agoIf you are into mountain biking, there's a fun trail up in Fairfax (five minutes north of Golden Gate Bridge) called Tamarancho (approx. 11 miles). I'd be down for heading up there with a few people on Sunday if people are interested. There's a place to rent mountain bikes right at the base of the trail.
- daleharvey 17y agoI would definitely be up for that
- blasdel 17y agoIsn't that a private trail?
- zacman85 17y agoIt is owned by the Boy Scouts. You pay 5 dollars at the bike shop to get a day pass that you put on your bike.
- HelenL14 17y agoThat sounds pretty awesome. I'm definitely interested if there's an easy place for us to rent mountain bikes for the day :D
- dannyr 17y agoWhere is the pre-event party?
- jeffy 17y agoI'm in, though I'll be staying in palo alto.
- BenSchaechter 17y agoI'm flying out Sunday, but if anyone wants to meet up Friday night I'd be down. I'm staying in Sunnyvale, but plan on being in San Francisco for most of the day Friday.
- nico 17y agoI'm coming from Chile and I'll be staying in the Bay Area (not sure where yet) until the 30th. I'd be happy to meet anybody who's up for coffee or beer (probably SF would be the best place to meet). I look forward to seeing you all at startup school. Cheers!
- eventhough 17y agoI went to Cal. I recommend Jupiter which is a local brewery pizza restaurant in Berkeley that serves great hefs. It was one of my fave places to go. http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=jupiter%27s&ns=1&find_loc=San+Francisco%2C+CA#find_loc=berkeley%2C%20ca http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=jupiter%27s&ns=1...
- rms 17y agoI'm getting to SJC at 1PM on Friday and leaving at 6AM Sunday morning, but I'll see you guys Friday night and Saturday. Let me know if you want to get a late lunch Friday afternoon.
- carpdiem 17y agoSo, what are people thinking about this? I'd love to do it, though a little earlier in the day would be better for me. Maybe 2pm, and then it can stretch as long as people want to hang out for?
