If accepted, you can crash at my apartment in the valley for a day. I dont have a big place, but I can easily host 2 people. Will go thru AirBnB I guess.

That was such a nasty comment that initially I couldn't even understand what you were asking.

Sorry for my unfortunate tone. I was lamenting the lack of preparedness of a minority of speakers. Most people gave world class presentations, but a minority had a perceived lack of preparation. With people traveling half way around the world, it seems disrespectful to have speakers fumbling on stage.

You probably could have written that in a much more constructive manner.

Would people like a co-founders meetup that evening? I'm sure everyone's creative juices will be in full swing by the evening.

I'm moving to the Bay Area tomorrow. I'm attending my first meeting for Rails people in a few days! It's mind-blowing to be in an area where I'm not the only one who likes this stuff.

So obviously I'm very excited by the idea of attending Startup School. Man, years ago now, DHH's talk formed the basis of what I want to do with myself.

Any chance of live streaming the event this year?

We'll probably stream it via justin.tv like we usually do.

Are the older editions archived? Is there a public link? Thx

Seconded. Being in Canada means I can't easily fly all the way to Stanford.

Canada? Easy compared to being in New Zealand! :P Sounds like an amazing event though, will certainly have to watch the live stream.
