How was the Seattle YC meetup?
Mongoose: I thought it was great. The format was very ad hoc, with people just standing around and talking. Definitely one of the better networking events I've been to. I talked to a number of YC alums and local entrepreneurs, got good feedback on a few startup ideas, and some advice on grad school. Not to mention free beer. I'll definitely have to start going to more startup/hacker events here in Seattle.
