I'd rather be in a tent at the beach than in some dudes backyard. 3G == Don't need your stinkin wifi

We have awesome internet connection. 35Mbps.

And you can legally be there, unlike the beach!

Technically, there are places you can camp in California for cheaper than $10 a night. But this does seem much easier and certainly more entertaining. ;-)

Is the dog there?

Is the dog awesome? ... This is at least as important to me as the location/price/amenities/cool people

Dog is moving to the HH in San Fran

Given the recent sweltering Bay Area weather, I wouldn't really mind sleeping outside.

Do you guys hold social events?

Edit 1: (I want to meet people actually working on startups rather than those that just talk about them in various business conventions.)

Edit 2: Maybe something like the YC dinners, except people bring their own food / contribute some dish / or pay.

Edit 3: I'm more interested in meeting the people at HH than renting the room.

jmtame5• 17 years ago

few thoughts:

2: possibly, i haven't thought much about that. maybe if this is successful, we can use part of the money to fund a party of sorts.

3: i'm sure they're just as interested in meeting visitors too. you should definitely book sometime.

phd_student2• 17 years ago

actually, I may try to throw a party for programmers instead :-)

Check out the Tech and Beer house too then - they had a BBQ last weekend, very nice to meet some startup people there. (The BBQ was posted on HN, I don't think the house itself has a website)

Whaaaat? That place is known as the Tech and Beer house? Haha :) It was a solid event, at any rate.

Check your laws (fire codes, too).

Former neighbors of mine got in trouble for having friends stay in tents in their backyard for a while.

Granted, they were meth-heads, but what they got in a lot of trouble for was the tents not the noise/drugs. If you're running a "business" based on tents in your backyard, you could attract the wrong kind of attention, too.

jmtame5• 17 years ago

we don't tell people about our meth operations, that's a pretty underground business.

I just stayed at the Hacker House last weekend. Awesome place. Can't really vouch for the tents though ;)

If HH tents takes off, beware of hippy drum circles cultivating in your backyard..:-)
