I'd love to take you up on this. Would it be fun to make it into a Hacker News dinner party? I think so. In fact, I'd love to host a HN dinner party no matter what. Is anyone else interested?
My partner and I live in Mill Valley (just over the GGB). She's in tech also. I eat meat. She doesn't. I think we can support twenty or so folks.
Our kitchen is well stocked, we're the local drop off for a CSA so we have fresh veggies, we both can help, etc. If we do meat, I'd like to do it in a smoker outside.
Oh wait, I'm supposed to say something interesting about us in order to make the dinner invite compelling. I have a social software company, CrowdVine. I'm big into bootstrapping. I'm a rails programmer. I wrote the Regular Expression pocket reference. I'm very interested in deliberate practice and whether the clicker training I did with my dog could be applied to my own behavior. I haven't been able to sleep since seeing the "Ten points for toothbrushing" talk at DICE.
Sarah, my partner, has a background in publishing, founded O'Reilly's Tools of Change for Publishing conference and is now co-chair/GM for the Web 2.0 Expo. She also wrote books on Google and Twitter.
yeah, I'd prefer a group dinner party as well. Mostly because I don't know how I'd pitch my girlfriend on "hey, this guy from the internet is going to come to our house to cook".
