You should attend just to come see Adam Smith (Xobni) and Drew Houston (DropBox).

It's going to be an instructive day (and my time is limited to 20 minutes, so I won't be able to do much harm).

I was planning on being out of town as it's a long weekend for me. Is this worth shortening a long weekend?

i'm going, too. anyone want to do a hn meet up, at least briefly? feels kind of silly, what with being surrounded by tons of startup folks already, but might still be fun.

since not much of the schedule is known, i'm giving the following shoutout:

     meet in the middle of the oval at 8:50am. the oval is the circular green between kresge, the student center and the chapel. i have an inverse mohawk and will likely be wearing patch-work shorts and tshirt.

you sound awesome.

Like to do an HN meetup. The kresge oval beforehand works. Maybe we'll get another thread going closer to the event, when the schedule is actually set. Also, HN meetup will be handy, since I'm sure there will be a significant crowd of people that are just coming to check it out, and haven't really plunged into the startup community yet. I'll probably be wearing a backwards UK (University of Kentucky) hat. I'll be impressed if anyone remembers that detail.

Is this hard to "get into"? Well if I get to go, I'm going. I'm from L.A. and never have been farther than tempe, Arizona; this sounds like a perfect excuse.

Anyone want to share the cheapest hotel we can find? Anyone want to explore MIT/Boston with me for a couple of days?

email is in the profile!

For some reason they don't link to where the Kresge Auditorium is, but to 77 Mass Ave (the start of the infinity corridor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_Corridor).

Just so you out-of-towners don't get too lost here's MIT's map of where the auditorium is (across the street from 77 Mass Ave): http://whereis.mit.edu/?selection=W16

If you need to access public transport use the T's site, which is pretty decent at giving directions: http://mbta.com/

Damn this is tempting. I have a free plane ticket I need to use. Anybody up for a meetup?

All registered. Looking forward to hearing Aaron Swartz speak.

All signed up, looks like there are going to be a lot of good speakers.

It's also on Columbus Day, so if you're off, you should go. I'll be up in the NE, so I'd love to swing by and hear Adam and Drew, and also share our experiences at JamLegend.

any chance this is going to be recorded? (I'm not in the US)

yes. there will also be a live video stream! details will soon be posted on the website-

Does anyone know what the top right logo is based on?

vimeo?

ok, thanks, they don't seem to use that background anymore.

I'd like to go, but I won't be around

definitely going
