Ask YC: Anyone in SF have a spare couch this weekend for a 2-guy "startup"?

#1

Post by Sam_Odio »

A friend and I are pitching in mountain view this weekend (13th to 17th) and are looking for like-minded people in the SF area that have a spare couch or floor. Hotels seem to be expensive and don't provide the hacker atmosphere we're looking for. We're going to be busy practicing our demo, so we will try to stay out of your hair. We'd gladly compensate you for any expenses.

We're both male and in our early 20s. We're also not crazy, if that matters.

I'm posting this here because there's probably several other startups in town this weekend that might be interested in the same thing.

My email: sam -@- odio.cøm

I thought that was a crazy weird post... Then I realized it was from somebody I know! I hung out with Sam at Startup School 2007, and he did not rape me. And his college friends were cool and regular posters here, so I assume the same again. If I was in California, I would let Sam stay over, why not you? Thanks.

We even stopped by Adam Smith's place, where Drew Houston was also... and look where they are now with Xobni and DropBox!

Five stars, recommended.

(Sam didn't ask me to post this, I just saw this.)

By the way, what type of startup is this? Good luck!

I'd venture a guess that he didn't murder you either.

That's the most glowing endorsement if I ever did see one.

Maybe he only rapes people of the opposite sex? Damn him for being so selective!

I wrote it because it made me laugh, every single time I read my testimonial.

May be he was complaining.
