Join us at Hacker News Coffee, San Francisco, Tuesday at 9:15am
Located at Muddy Waters Cafe: 521 Valencia St. and 1 min walk from the 16th St. BART stop.
Seems like it'll encourage more meetups and it'll give a few hackers something to work on before they apply to the next YC session :-)
The mission is one of the nicer parts of town. A lot of hackers move there.
The Mission is beloved by wannabe hipsters, that think they are cool and feel like "urban pioneers" living in a semi-seedy area.
Or google engineers, as the shuttles go by there, and the yupified noe valley (which is actually nice and safe).
Housing used to be cheap there, but not anymore, especially considering the blighted enviroment. I love the food in some places, though. But definitely not an intellectually stimulating area.

What does this even mean? A lot of startups were born in the mission, and a lot of hackers live there. Further, there's easy access to the rest of the city, and it's much less expensive to live there than many other parts of the city. What more, exactly, do you want?
With respect to the coffee, I just want to go somewhere next time that has good coffee, and in the mission that means nd or ritual. I just got back from the actual meetup, and the coffee was the worst part. Maybe we should go to the bluebottle downtown next time. It's expensive, but it has terrific coffee.
Finally, Muddy Waters has some of the worst coffee in town. Ritual is probably the best choice for a mission meetup. What is "nd?" There is a coffee shop in town that I don't know about???
