Got a quick question.<p>I didn't get any invitation email from YC, but when:<p>1. I go to this link: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/susrsvp" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/susrsvp</a>,<p>2. it asks me if I am coming. And I selected "YES" and<p>3. I see a message: Ok, see you there! on <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/x" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/x</a><p>Does that mean I was invited but didn't get an email?

Is there anyone that wasn't accepted? Pretty much everyone I know and talked to got in. Maybe because of the increase to 1715 seats <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4477283" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4477283</a>
woot! I got accepted! flying in from Calgary!
Looking forward to meeting more people down there...my first time, not sure really what to expect...<p>Also, I'm flying in with my fiancee, anyone here have recommendations on where to stay? we also want to hit up the outlet mall somewhere around there, and obviously downtown SF. We're not sure if we should stay in downtown SF, or by the airport? obviously price is a factor..but so is transportation since it's a 2 hour bus ride to Stanford from the hotels in SF, but everyone is telling us not to rent a car??
Any advice from people wiser than myself would be appreciated!
