Just a quick note to let HN readers know that we are organizing a HN Kansai Meetup in Kyoto, Japan, this coming Friday 28th of September from 19h30 to 21h30. This is the second time that we are organizing such an event, and we would be very pleased to see the attendees list grow.

Hi!

I live in California, but will happen to be in Osaka that week. I will try to drop by the meetup for a bit to say hi. :-)

One question about the venue. Was the place picked because it is where you had previous meetups? If there is no specific reason, would it be possible to move the venue closer to the metro (say, Shijō station, or even Kyoto Eki)?

It would make it much easier for folks who are not living in Kyoto to find.

Anyways, if that is not possible, I understand. I'll still try to drop by to say hi to folks.

Very nice if you can actually join while you are in Osaka! The place was picked-up because one of our members is providing the venue - we will consider other venues in case the attendance grows beyond the space available. Anyway, since you are registered for the event, you will see updates for the venue as we progress in the planning.

If you have trouble knowing how to get there, etc, please contact me (you will find my email in my profile).

No problem! That location is fine. I'm sure I'll find my way there... :-)

By the way, do the Starbucks / McDonald's in Kyoto and Osaka provide free WiFi? Just trying to figure out where to get some free Internet while I'm away from my hotel.

I'll be there! And here's a direct link to the registration page so you don't have to copy/paste: http://hnkansai.doorkeeper.jp/events/1688

Wow, nice to see this sort of thing in the Kansai area! I'm keen to meet some other HNers so I'll be there.

Won't be able to make it, hope you guys have a great time!

This is just awesome, I'm really happy this is happening in Kansai, my thanks to the organizers.

I'm based in Kobe, definitely will be there.
