Flying in from London. Get in touch if you're also making it in from the UK?

I might be but unsure whether I can justify the costs. Anyway, I was accepted and if I go I will probably have to travel down to London to fly out. Are you flying with BA?

woot! I got accepted! flying in from Calgary! Looking forward to meeting more people down there...my first time, not sure really what to expect...

Also, I'm flying in with my fiancee, anyone here have recommendations on where to stay? we also want to hit up the outlet mall somewhere around there, and obviously downtown SF. We're not sure if we should stay in downtown SF, or by the airport? obviously price is a factor..but so is transportation since it's a 2 hour bus ride to Stanford from the hotels in SF, but everyone is telling us not to rent a car?? Any advice from people wiser than myself would be appreciated!

Flying in from Paris. This is very cool. Is it a good idea to rent a car / a motorbike -- how good is public transportation?

bay area local. rent a car, public transit can only take you so far in the area.

Accepted, flying in from NYC!

likewise if I can get it together... should do a NYer meetup out there, or before/after in the city

Great idea! Would also be fun to fly there together!?
