I just moved to San Francisco, almost on a whim, to work on my startup and get involved in the startup scene.

I didn't realize how big(geographically) the Bay Area/Silicon Valley actually is, turns out Mountain View is pretty far away, and I don't have a car.

I would love to attend, how can I get there from the city? Caltrain? Bum a ride from other hackers? Sneak onto a Google shuttle? Hitchhike?

The Microsoft campus is within biking distance of the Caltrain. It's not a terrible ride, from what I can tell.

Also, ask on the wiki! http://superhappydevhouse.org/SuperHappyDevHouse40 Somebody courteously offered me a ride from Noe Valley, although I'm not sure I'll be able to make it.

Caltrain sucks on the weekends. I suggest saying you need a ride in the comments on the Facebook page, you might want to consider sharing a ZipCar with someone too.

Also, if you can get to SHDH somehow, I'll make sure you get a ride back.

I wouldn't rule out caltrain.

It doesn't run that often on weekends, and you will have to walk or whatever to get from the caltrain station to the venue, but since it's a 12-hour party, you can probably deal with not getting there at the exact minute that you'd prefer. Plus you only need to take it down since Joel promised to get you a ride back.

... I'm jaded from a year of commuting daily on Caltrain. :(

I can give you a ride

If you're going to stick around you should consider joining citycarshare.org or zipcar.com - I haven't yet because I want to do City CarShare but I'm not in SF (yet).
