As usual, the meetup starts at 6:00 pm, but since people come and go throughout the evening, feel free to show up later if you can't make it at that time. The meetup runs from 6:00 pm to about 10:30 pm.

If you haven't attended a Hackers and Founder meetup at California Billiards, please read our FAQ. Also, our Mountain View meetups are smaller and more informal than our San Francisco meetups.

How do I find the meetup?

We meet in the center of the California Billiard Club on the raised platform where you'll find the tables. Everyone that attends the meetup wears a name tag with a big orange "H", so feel free to join that table. We'd love to know what you're working on.

Topics of conversation:

• John McCarthy, Dennie Ritchie or Matz in a full contact cage match. Who wins?
  
• Erlang, Haskell or Lisp. Which looks better in a bathing suit?
  
• Hackery in general, startups, shiny new technologies we're playing with, recent articles on Hacker News
  

It's all really laid back and casual. Many of us are either interested in founding a startup, are in the process of founding a startup or are serial entrepreneurs. So come, hang out have a beverage and geek out.

Payment:

If you're a college student or on a ramen noodle budget, please ignore this and be our guest.
