I'm really looking forward to seeing all of you guys again. Sorry for the short notice… If you can't make it we'll have a real scheduled meet-up some time soon when things are more calm.

Likewise - looking forward to seeing everyone there. Take care Tokyo people.

I have a prior commitment, but hope y'all have a fun time, and will see you at the next HN meetup.

I discovered Hacker News very recently and so far I'm amazed at the quality of the community I've seen here. I'm not sure how I missed it as I've been reading PG's essays for years.

I just registered to say that I'll be at the get together later today.

Awesome. We'll see you there! Today I realized that we picked an Irish bar and its kinda close to St Patrick's day. Hopefully it's not too crowded/annoying. If so we'll think up a plan B and turn it into a bar crawl.

Will it be near the Shibuya Eggman Nuclear Reactor? --> http://www.japanprobe.com/2011/03/16/fox-news-clueless-about...

Oh damn, I didn't even think of that, it's a short walk away. That would have been a good place! It's a live-house though so maybe not the best venue for a meet-up.

I've never been to HN Get-Together before, but seems interesting. What do you guys do mostly? I kinda use Hacker News as a news source. In fact, this is the very first time I"ve commented.

Put faces to names, talk a wee bit of shop, make a few business contacts (found a client there), enjoy food and drink, etc. I've made nice friends there.

Welcome to the conversation!

If you're in Tokyo, I highly recommend dropping by to the next event. It's a really interesting group of people doing lots of interesting projects.

Thanks for the replay. I work at Ebisu so it's really close.

I might be able to drop by since I think I can get out of work early.

Turned out, I had to work late. I'll try next time! Hope you all had fun.

Check out http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nhk-world-tv for the latest updates on the earthquakes. First time I've not had fun living in a tower building. I'm feeling every little bump.

I never considered it when choosing my apartment, but living on the first floor has been quite advantageousness over the last week.

Sadly I can't make it. Please have lots of fun, and see you all at one of the next events!

I would love to go, but I do not want to stray too far from home when a strong aftershock might make it difficult to return. ;)

Have a great time, and I will be looking forward to the next one!

Paul, I'll probably go.

Damn, it's shaking right now. Big one.

Right? We announce our intention to drink and the ground moves. I think it's a sign. Hopefully we'll see you there. :-)

Ok Paul, might be just you and me. I'm cool with that. :)

There's gotta be more nerds in Tokyo than just us… I think they've all turned off their computers to save energy for the blackout. :-)

Unfortuantely, can't make it this time. Wish you all good time and catch you at the next event.

Would be interested in the next scheduled one.

Follow our RSS feed or watch HN and you'll see the announcements. Otherwise send Jason or me an email (jason or paul @ makeleaps) and... oh shaking now again... ok I think it stopped... and we'll put you on the mailing list.

Count me in.

can't make it, but will raise a glass of ebisu silk from down here in kyushu.
