Ask HN: YC applicants, who's up for a morale-boosting meetup/hangout?
Any applicants (past, present, future) interested in having an informal meetup this weekend? Whether we hear good news or bad news on the 15th, getting together would be a great morale boost and it'll be fun to meet everyone! I happen to be in Silicon Valley, but I'll be there in spirit for fellow applicants everywhere else :)
Please reply if you're up for hanging out with the fine folks who share your excitement and pain. This invitation is extended to the YC partners of course!
We'll most likely meetup at a brewery near the "motherships" (Palo Alto and Mountain View). Other ideas and suggestions are welcome. Contact info's in the profile if you need it.
Good luck to everyone!

- cinquemb 14y agoYes!
- Ariff 14y agoI'd be down for this.
- jlees 14y agoSure, I'm game. Tied House?
- viviantan 14y agoYou read my mind! Does Friday or Saturday work better for folks who are reading this?
- jlees 14y agoPersonally, Saturday; looks like there aren't too many others reading this now :-(
- viviantan 14y agoI've gotten a few emails from people who wanna meet and hangout, and I'll repost this tomorrow night when all the YC prospects are stalking HN :)
- biscarch 14y agoI'm driving from SD on Saturday (coincidence, not because of the meetup) and I'm planning on heading to the gathering on Sat.
- gallaghersean 14y agoCan someone be there in spirit for me? I'm from the Tampa Bay, Florida area.
- viviantan 14y agoSending you moral support, even though your state can't count votes. Best of luck with everything!
- kpietras 14y agoHi, Excellent initiative. I'm in if it's on Sunday, 11/18 afternoon. PA / MV area is perfect. I'd recommend Nola or Patio, both Palo Alto downtown. Looking forward to meeting you Karolina
- relizarr 14y agoAnyone in San Antonio, TX?
- webuntu 14y agoI guess we're all on the edge of our seats. ...Anyone else in South Florida?
- vostrocity 14y agoSurprised anyone's from FL at all. XD I'm currently North Florida, but I didn't apply to this class.
- khmel 14y agoWould be glad to join - I live in Menlo Park, office in Palo Alto. Coupa or Nola are good places to meet. I also like smoking shisha - there's one place in PA, and a good place in Sunnyvale. Igor
- _uoi8 14y agoCool! Will try.
- viviantan 14y agoBay Area folks! Let's meet at Tied House in Mountain View this Saturday at 6:00. Family members and underaged people welcome; the grownups can migrate to Nola in Palo Alto afterwards. I've re-posted about the meetup here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4787228 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4787228

- xper01 14y agoGreat idea! Anyone in San Francisco or Berkeley want to meetup? I propose meeting up at Coffeebar in San Francisco at 3pm on Saturday, 11/15. If you can make it, please shoot me an email (see profile).
