The Palo Alto 24/7 Hacker House: You're Invited.
35 comments
To clarify -- is your house the same as the former Facebook house 819 La Jennifer Way?
The new house is in Midtown, the Facebook house is not.
Hi,
Sounds like a great idea!
What's the address? Any photos?

This is good, m coming to bay
sounds interesting! I'll drop by sometime.
+1 I like the idea, this seems like a pretty interesting way to build a relationship with tons of like minded people.
+1 Sounds like what the beats used to do, except their poetry didn't compile.
Awesome! Good luck.
Like A Little goes big!
I am very disappointed that I live all the way on the East Coast. I miss out on opportunities like these constantly.
You guys are really great to offer this; I would really like to visit at some point.

Don't be disappointed! check out http://www.hackrtrackr.com/ Also, this old thread may not be up-to-date, but it's encouraging that there are lots from the east coast: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=527681
theres eastcoast hackers man! where about are you? im here in pittsburgh
Wow, somebody else from the east coast? I'm in North Carolina. I think there's one or two more of us around here, somewhere...
I'm in NYC. If any of you east coast folks find yourselves here, ping me -- I'd love to meet up (email in profile).
I may just take you up on this in the summer...
Any chance to know how much for a bedroom? (just out of curiosity really)
I'm thinking of quitting my job and staying for awhile. Is there parking space for a full-size car?
Maybe just for a half-size car.
hacking house sounds AWESOME!
Wow, that is excellent. I plan to visit Palo Alto in a couple of months (I live in Poland), I hope this will still be around then! :)
I really want to do something like this when I (hopefully) head over there for a few months later in the year. I'm stuck in the UK and desperate to get over to Silicon Valley to experience the optimistic and fail-fast attitude, since I've been acting like that here in the UK (with some success) and it's not easy to find like-minded people.
Hope you're still looking for people in a few months!

It's very easy if you're in London. Spend a couple of days in Techhub or White Bear Yard!
“The house at 819 La Jennifer Way, with a resident population of seven guys, felt like a dorm. Some people — female and male — stopped by for days and just hung around. Stanford University was only a mile away, so the housemates would announce parties using a Facebook feature that enabled them to target specific schools. They were mobbed by Stanford students and townies.”
After a month with 7 of us living in a 1 bedroom apartment in Palo Alto, we have decided to upgrade. We are recreating the atmosphere described above of high energy openness and are inviting brilliant hackers, designers, ideators… you name it… to drop by and work, hangout, and live with us (seriously, we are only using 2 of the 5 bedrooms in this place so let me know if you are looking for a sweet place to live).
The house is in Midtown Palo Alto (walking distance to anything you will ever need) and has a huge open working space for whomever wants to come. We work 18+ hours a day (somebody is always awake), have a constant supply of snacks and beverages, and invite hackers around the world to drop by anytime, 24/7 to work, live for a bit, hack with us, play a game of ping pong or just hangout. Email me anytime to get the address and drop by or say hello. evan dot reas at gmail
