Thanks for sharing, it sounds like it was a good time. In some parts of the country (like mine~), finding interesting startups just to network with is nearly impossible. The idea that they all came together to court people into their web is turning my hacker worldview upside down.

Well, in some countries (like mine) finding interesting startups at all is nearly impossible. ;-)

Touche, gotta be grateful for what we've got.

That's a great write up and quick into to the presentations. You're spot-on about the three categories of pitches.

My review took a slightly different approach: http://matt.io/entry/ud

Nice write-up, and a good compliment to the other one linked in this thread. Yours gave a great description of atmosphere/ vibe/ social tone.

I agree that they're good complements.

I still find it bizarre that so many YC companies are in San Francisco, despite YC being down here in the South Bay.
