I thought that was a crazy weird post... Then I realized it was from somebody I know! I hung out with Sam at Startup School 2007, and he did not rape me. And his college friends were cool and regular posters here, so I assume the same again. If I was in California, I would let Sam stay over, why not you? Thanks.

We even stopped by Adam Smith's place, where Drew Houston was also... and look where they are now with Xobni and DropBox!

Five stars, recommended.

(Sam didn't ask me to post this, I just saw this.)

By the way, what type of startup is this? Good luck!

> He did not rape me.

That's the most glowing endorsement if I ever did see one.

I wrote it because it made me laugh, every single time I read my testimonial.

May be he was complaining.

Actually, Sam and Vlad both stayed at my apartment that year for Startup School. Neither of them tried to rape me either.

Thank you for the wonderful testimonial! Karma does go around.

Try www.AirBedandBreakfast.com. I am one of the co-founders, and we are offering a 50% for all YC applicants. My listing is the first one listed in SF, and its a great place to practice your pitch.

The only problem your startup will face is that the couchsurfing types don't want to actually pay anything. Otherwise, this is a neat idea for a startup.

> he did not rape me

I'd venture a guess that he didn't murder you either.

Whoa, whoa... Let's not jump to conclusions.

But seriously, Sam is a great guy. Someone please lend him a couch and a roof!

and maybe some walls and a floor if they're feeling generous?

I'll second this post in that Sam (and his friend) are really great guys (and yes, they won't rape you). If I had a couch, or a place for that matter, I'd let you guys crash. Maybe we can just get coffee instead :)

How do we know he is not beside you right now forcing you to write this, with his penis out?

> he did not rape me I guess he didn't impale you either :) (just saw you name is "Vlad" and reminded me of "Vlad the Impaler" (also known as Dracula).

> he did not rape me

Maybe he only rapes people of the opposite sex? Damn him for being so selective!
