Ask HN: Startup School Meetup, SF, Sunday 25th 6pm

23 pointsby daleharvey17 anni fa20 comments

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.

Can you use our tool 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.

Where in SF?

daleharvey17 anni fa

thats 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

I 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.

I'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.

I 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.

I'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!

I'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.

If 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.

That sounds pretty awesome. I'm definitely interested if there's an easy place for us to rent mountain bikes for the day :D

daleharvey17 anni fa

I would definitely be up for that

blasdel17 anni fa

Isn't that a private trail?

zacman8517 anni fa

It 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.

So, 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?

I'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.

I'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.
