I've never been to HN Get-Together before, but seems interesting. What do you guys do mostly? I kinda use Hacker News as a news source. In fact, this is the very first time I"ve commented.

Paul, I'll probably go.

Damn, it's shaking right now. Big one.

Put faces to names, talk a wee bit of shop, make a few business contacts (found a client there), enjoy food and drink, etc. I've made nice friends there.

Right? We announce our intention to drink and the ground moves. I think it's a sign. Hopefully we'll see you there. :-)

Check out http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nhk-world-tv for the latest updates on the earthquakes. First time I've not had fun living in a tower building. I'm feeling every little bump.

I never considered it when choosing my apartment, but living on the first floor has been quite advantageousness over the last week.

Welcome to the conversation!

If you're in Tokyo, I highly recommend dropping by to the next event. It's a really interesting group of people doing lots of interesting projects.

Would be interested in the next scheduled one.

Follow our RSS feed or watch HN and you'll see the announcements. Otherwise send Jason or me an email (jason or paul @ makeleaps) and... oh shaking now again... ok I think it stopped... and we'll put you on the mailing list.
