Tell HN: In SF? Feeling social? I'll buy you a beer.

24 points by vrikhter ↗ HN
I've been working by myself for a few months now. Figured I'd change things up a bit.

I feel like hanging out, meeting some interesting people, and hearing about your product, job/startup, life, etc. I'm up for chatting on just about any subject whether its product related, marketing, engineering, or even the state of the tech scene in SF vs. the economy everywhere else in this country. I love SF and the scene here, but being heads down on a product for the last few months has made me want to meet new people. Meetups are fun, but I enjoy one-on-one conversation more.

My offer: I'll buy you a beer* and we can chat about whatever you feel like at the time.

Shoot me an email (in profile) or just comment here and we'll find a time to get together!

*(Of course not restricted to alcohol; coffee, tea, milk or smoothies also apply :)

Didn't see an email address in your profile. Let me know what it is, or grab mine from my profile.

Is milk considered a social drink?
vrikhter
For breakfast, totally can be! I've met folks that don't drink alcohol or caffeine, so I suggested milk. Would you prefer tomato juice? :)

I'm always excited to meet new people. So much so that I am willing to call milk a social drink. e-mail sent.

If any SF people are out this friday at happy hour, look for me at Yuppie Friday. Eve Lounge in SOMA.

Didn't see your email address in your profile. Mine is listed in the profile (drop me an email through there).

I hate to self-promote, but I sincerely think you might find our startup useful. I built it for the EXACT same reason as you mentioned above. If you're up for it, let's grab drinks sometime as well when I'm back in the bay area.

The funny thing is... I'm one of those non-alcoholic people you mentioned and on a caffeine break so I'll be taking that milk ;)

I'll be in the Valley from Oct 25th to Nov 8th, scoping out the startup scene to possibly move out there for good. I'll happily take you up on your offer.

(Though for making such a generous offer, I should be the one buying you the beer. I admire what you're doing here greatly - it's always a smart idea to use your down time to build up a little karma. :) )

I accept. Let the battle of wits begin.
