11 points by ekianjo ↗ HN
For those HN readers who can never join the HN meetups in Tokyo, here's another alternative.

On this Saturday (14th), we are organizing the first Hacker News Meetup, at the heart of the Gion Festival in Kyoto. Here's where we can meet, in front of the CitiBank at Shijo/Karasuma streets: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=214961744925826245810.0004c48e9d5786b766294&msa=0&ll=35.003514,135.758936&spn=0.00086,0.001278

This is captaintacos. As Ekianjo said, we will be hosting the first HN meetup here in Kyoto on Saturday.

HN people, Kyoto, the Gion Festival... it doesn't get any better than this!

We will be hanging out around Shijo and Karasuma streets on Saturday evening so just contact me (contact info in my profile) if you are around.

If you are in Kobe, Nara or Osaka you know getting to Kyoto should take you less than an hour so now you have lots of good reasons to join us! ;)

I shall be there.
Great! Let us know at what time you'd like to meet up !
Anytime in the afternoon after 1300 is OK.
Please try to give more notice next time. I can't make this one but would be interested in being notified for future ones - matt@mattmccormick.ca
