Alone on Thanksgiving? Eat at My House

29 pointsby MediaSquirrelover 8 years ago
Dear HN,<p>Do you not have Thanksgiving Plans? New in town? Are you wondering WTF you are going to do on Thursday? Feeling broke &#x2F; lonely ?<p>If so, you should come to my house and join my family for Thanksgiving. We&#x27;re making smoked Turkey and yams and stuffing and all sorts of other deliciousness. Our house is in downtown Menlo Park 5min from the Caltrain and a few blocks from Stanford University.<p>Truth is that no one gets anywhere in this world alone. When I was 20, it was the people who picked me up on my cycling&#x2F;hitchhiking mis-adventure down the California coast and let me stay in their homes on Xmas. When I was 25, it was the New Yorkers who welcomed me into a new city and taught me how to stay safe in my job as a paramedic. When I was 29, it was the entrepreneurs &amp; investors who introduced me to Silicon Valley and showed me how to go from Zero to 1.<p>And now, I feel compelled to return these favors however I can.<p>So...if you&#x27;re in San Francisco Bay Area and you need a place to call home for Thanksgiving, let me know. We saved you a seat at the table.<p>RSVP at http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mattmireles.com&#x2F;thanksgiving2016&#x2F;<p>Happy Thanksgiving!<p>-Matt<p>PS Yes, I do this every year. It started back in 2012 as a way to get rid of get rid of excess food and has become a bit of a family tradition.
