Ask HN: Events in San Francisco in October?

Any suggestions on an effective way to search for hacker events would be appreciated too. I know there is some web 2.0 summit/expo, but I'm not paying $4000 for a ticket!

there's always the computer history museum in mountain view, if you're just in the area for a few days.

also, when i was there, i found a lot of the typical "touristy" things fun and interesting - fisherman's wharf, street car stuff, Alcatraz, Golden Gate....even just walking through Chinatown.

hell, if the weather's nice while you're there, rent a car and drive down the PCH - one of the most beautiful drives in the entire country. there's more to life than computers :)

Thanks, I did try Googling, but I didn't really like the results. A good event I know of is not on the first two pages, and a lot of the results seem not very relevant (for example an event that takes place in Mumbai in October). I thought there would be some de facto site where people go to discover events, and was hoping someone would point me to it.

It's too early to search for anything besides large expo sized events. Smaller events are often only announced a month or even a week before they occur.
