This is really awesome! Fantastic idea. I'm a listener on 7 cups of tea and would have loved to share a meal and a beer with you. I'll be listening on 7 cups for another hour or so if anyone is struggling and needs a bit of extra support.
This is really nice of you.<p>Gonna take this opportunity to ask: anybody know of some good things to do in San Francisco on Christmas day? I'm coming to visit and will be alone for the most part.
This is really nice. It reminds me about a tradition here in Poland. On Xmas Eve Dinner we prepare additional place at the table for any unexpected guest. As a chid I was looking at it and wondering who could sit there and nobody ever did. I also don't know anyone who had a chance to use it and actually there were several journalists' provocations when celebrities and politicians rejected such "unexpected guests" at their homes. So it's great to hear that the idea works on the other hemisphere :)
Last year I just moved to San Francisco and attended. I had a great time meeting a lot of people with various interests. Huge thanks to Matt for doing this again.
Feel really touched, by the humanity on display on HN. Proud to be part of this community. I am not a US citizen, and don't celebrate Thanksgiving. But still, it fills my heart seeing such thoughtful gestures.<p>PS: No upvotes please. Lest I feel guilty of posting this message...
I'm not there and it doesn't apply to me but I came here to tell you what an amazing thing you're unto. I wish you all the good in the world and hope you have / had a great Thanksgiving!
Very kind gesture, Matt. I'm sure you will meet some great people this way and have some interesting stories to share down the road!<p>Happy thanksgiving to everyone.
