We had a lot of fantastic people come along, and we got plenty of positive feedback.

Extra thanks to :

Hi Jay,
Thanks for organizing yesterday’s meetup. It was a really fantastic group of people, and I really enjoyed meeting other like-minded folks in Tokyo. I learned a lot just being there.

Thank you very much for allowing the HN meetup to happen in that beautiful Robert Walters conference room in Tokyo yesterday. It was a great venue, and I think everyone had a good time. Very generous of you to let us use the space.

Hi again Jason;

Terrific inaugural event last night! Thank you again for including me in this eclectic group. I had a great time, met some intensely interesting people and learned a couple of new things. I thought the food and beverages were good and in the right amount and the atmosphere you created was just spot-on. Loved the BGM.

Thanks a lot for organizing this event Jason.

It really was awesome : the people, the place, the food, everything.
The venue was easy to find, and Shibuya is definitely a good place to
do these events since we can easily find a bar afterwards.
