Scheduling meetings with big names is mainly a credibility thing. You either have the right connections to get an introduction or an 'unicorn'.
P.S. Remember that this is still just a 'conference' in the purest form. Getting 'accepted' is not a big deal. You can stand outside the building, hangout in the bars/meetup groups around the venue and watch a few podcasts/youtubes for the same effect. What you make of it, is up to you.
If you're from SV or something maybe you're used to it, but I'm not so it's always a shot in the arm to be around so many like minded people working on exciting things.
I have mixed feelings about my acceptance, because I think she might benefit from it more than I.
We should have checked for that both to prevent mixups and gaming the system. Next time.
Saturday traffic is not bad (though all things being equal, 101 will always be a bit iffy).
Friday rush hour will be relevant since the reception (if you are going) is from 7pm at the YC office. FYI try to avoid 85 south between 101 and 280, 101 entirely, and 280 south after 85 or thereabouts.
Well, yes, but I'll be flying in, and hopefully even meeting some people, on the Friday. ;-)
Any clever solutions?

That sucks.
How about 4pm, Sunday September 21, Ritual Coffee on Valencia Street?
