Any plans for another one between mid-March to mid-April? :-)
I assume you're coming to Tokyo during that time? We usually have them every month or two… no real fixed schedule. You can follow our blog's RSS feed or shoot me an email at paul@makeleaps.com and I'll put you on the mailing list if you want to be sure that you don't miss it.
Bah, I leave Tokyo on the 2nd. Any HNers want to grab a beer before then?
I'm interested, but on the fence. How many people usually go to these events?

I live out in Gunma, so a train ticket and hotel room would be a pretty major investment for me.

It's usually between 15 and 30 people. We book a conference room kind of space, provide some food, drinks, music, etc… and jibber-jabber for 3 hours or so. Some people go home and some go out and grab drinks at a local bar afterward. It's been a different crowd each time: some of the same faces, always some new faces.
If you need a place to stay, I can lend you a futon and a spot in my kitchen.

It's not a place to make work connections but rather a chance to meet interesting people.

Thanks for the offer, but looking over my finances, I don't think I'll be able to swing it for February, unfortunately... I'm trying to finish off my college loans!

If you're still as obliging in March, I might take you up on that!

I should be there.
Hey guys. Does HN Tokyo Meetup have a regular page that you use to organize your events? Is it at http://hntokyo.doorkeeper.jp/. If you do have a regular place that you announce your meetups, do you mind posting a link here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AmQExXr67OcTdDBZZl9...

On top of organizing Hackers and Founders Silicon Valley, and keeping in occasional contact with our 8 other Hackers and Founders chapters, I'm trying to keep track of all the HN meetups that are occurring all over the world.

At some point, I'll be posting this on the new version of the Hackers and Founders website.

For the record Google Docs can't be accessed through most large organizations PC's (blocked), any concerned about data security at all, and isn't easily accessed through a SmartPhone... These days I spend a hurried 20mins in front of my own computer every couple of days or less..

www.doorkeeper.jp on the other hand rocks!

Sounds good -- thanks po and jason_tko for organizing this again.
Will show up this time too
I'm in tonight, Jason , 8 years in Tokyo, Aussie, Connector, of GoodPeople (GoodPeople.jp)
