I'd love to know which other HN'ers are going to be there, but without each of us spamming up this thread. Any clever solutions?

There's a Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/286093088248929/

Odd. I've been going for multiple years, and I got rejected this time. And just my luck that I already bought my plane ticket and booked an Airbnb.

That sucks.

Got accepted, not sure whether to be excited or not. Could be one of those things where most everyone who applies gets accepted because most people don't end up coming. (anyone know numbers on that?) Pretty sure I will go...2000 miles isn't really that far...

Boo. Got rejected. I wonder if I screwed myself by applying twice (once a few weeks ago and once on Sept 11) For some reason the system let me....

I'll be renting a car from SF. For folks wanting to carpool with me, sign up here with "techtivist". Others with a car, feel free to add yourself here as well. http://www.groupcarpool.com/t/97khv4 First come first serve. It should come to around $20 each (including gas and rental) per head, against $80-90 Uber ONE WAY! I'll be leaving from Richmond, but can pick up from anywhere within SF or a short diversion from 101.

I was told by someone who has been trying to attend for years that it's hard to get accepted. Not sure if that's accurate or not but I was accepted and am excited to learn and listen.
