Last year, at the conference, after the sessions everyone met up at the  
Aloft hotel near Facebook's HQ to have passionate and fruitful discussions  
about D and I think a lot of good came out of it.

As someone who was NOT staying at Aloft (and who was fortunate enough to  
have a speaker taxiing me around, thanks Ali!), I made it a point to try  
and stay this year at the location that would allow me to engage in the  
discussions and just be able to walk to my bed (I was in no shape to drive  
at least one of those nights, thanks again Ali!).

I know that Andrei is now living in the area, and he was the one who  
picked Aloft. I'm assuming Andrei's house is likely not the new location  
;) Where is the "hot spot" this year going to be? I want to book soon :)

Afterparty and Andrei's house, every night.

If you want to do the 1h10m commute one way each night... :o) Aloft is the best candidate for the unofficial hangout spot. Andrei

Yeah, it was definitely worth staying at the Aloft. I had the feeling last year that it might have been better to make the 'in' spot on the other side of the bay though... people can potentially walk/ride if it's closer to town/transport/trains. Aloft was a bit inconvenient for any without cars and not staying at Aloft.

Booked at Aloft, and I'll have a (supposedly 5-seat) car. So I can drive people across the bridge. See you all there :) -Steve

Just to be clear, we're talking about this, right? http://www.aloftsiliconvalley.com/ The first Google search led me to this one instead: http://www.aloftsanfranciscoairport.com/ ...which was rather confusing as the map put it not at all where I remembered it to be.

Sorry I said it wrong! For the first 2 days, we gathered afterward at aloft. On the third day, I left from the airport, I have no idea if people gathered there or not! -Steve

Speaking of which - have you got hotel covered Manu - I always try to be economical and am willing to book a room to share. :)
