Are there things like this in San Francisco? I kinda assumed there would be when I moved out here, but haven't heard of any yet.

We've been completely slack about this sort of thing, but now that we have Harj we're going to start.

There's Hackers and Founders, that I organize. We're based on the penninsula, but we're going to start having meetups in SF every 4-6 weeks. http://www.hackersandfounders.com

I'm giving my wife a spa day this weekend so I can come to this ...

Awesome! I might drive down from Vancouver just for this.

hmm I might head to Vancouver afterwards for the weekend, any chance you could ping me? harj AT Ycombinator DOT com

It would be awesome if you could stop by Vancouver, there are a lot of startups here!

Was there one in the bay area?

not yet, we'll be doing a few meetups in different cities over the next few weeks.

would austin, tx happen to be on your list of cities?

yes, we will be doing a meetup during sxsw on Mon 15th march at submerged from 5 - 7. pg will be at that one also as he's on a sxsw panel. will send out more details soon.

Definitely waiting for the Los Angeles one!

Biz dev! Congrats Harj.

Great idea. I'll definitely plan to stop by, sounds like a good way to get some questions answered about YC and chat with like-minded people.

I will be there for sure.

Sweet!
