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?

If you're attending, send a tweet to @YCRSVP. List of attendees: https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q=%40YCRSVP

Does that mean you decided to go?

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...

My co-founder got denied and I got an invite. So no, not everyone who applies gets an invite.

Had a similar circumstance, re: my co-creator getting rejected and myself getting accepted.

I have mixed feelings about my acceptance, because I think she might benefit from it more than I.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Another thing to change for next time: Add a To: header to the email which goes out. It's amazing how missing such a simple thing can cause problems with email filters...

The current plan is to refresh SUS applications just like we have YC applications. Much will be different.

Loving the new YC application interface. Kudos!

I'm also deciding if it's worth the cost to make the 2000+ mile trip.

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 10…

I booked a spot and will be from either Ingleside or Tenderloin.
