Hey all,

We're getting together a JavaScript meetup in downtown San Francisco at 7PM on April 16th. Specific location TBA but it will be somewhere in or near SOMA. We've got a number of YC companies represented, other startups, lots of awesome front-end hackers, and some huge names in the JS community.

It will be a lot of fun and you won't want to miss it so register and RSVP here:

We'll have food, drink, a few awesome speakers, and lots of great networking and hacking.

See you then!

Great idea, I'm so there.

Douglas Crockford is coming.. didn't he invent JSON?

I recommend putting events on Upcoming and Facebook Events, too, if you want big attendance.

I actually hope they don't. Having a small, core YC crowd there would be much nicer than seeing all the Web 2.0 party hoppers you normally see at events on Upcoming.

Cozy for insiders can be good too!

In which case, I suggest posting a fake decoy event on Upcoming to draw away all "the Web 2.0 party hoppers". Put it at 111 Minna.

What perfect timing. We just solved some graphing problems with JS in our webapp, and the results so far have been great :) We'll be there.

Great idea. I'd like to see what new stuff people have been doing with js. I built http://ninjawords.com and http://jjot.com about a year ago.

I feel like 200 would be too many. with 40, you can meet most everyone there and remember faces.

When does it end? If I went, I would fly over from Chicago for the afternoon/evening, so I have to know.
