Two of Hyperpublic's engineers, @ericxtang and @zanecstarr, as well as a couple of our investors and advisors are alums of Carnegie Mellon's computer science program, so we're eager to support CMU students when they're interested in learning about the NYC startup scene. This weekend, about 6 CMU undergrads were looking to make the trip from Pittsburgh to New York in order to participate in a weekend hack event with other local college students. We were going to sponsor their bus tickets, but Eric thought it'd be more fun to get out to Pittsburgh and road trip with the gang. Details of their journey to follow today...
6:30am - Rise and Shine
7:30am - Goodbye New York (for a few hours)
9:55am - Hello Pittsburgh
If you see this van on the road, watch out for serious hacking going on inside. In the words of Eric (and Jay-Z), "No chrome on my wheels, but I'm a balla for real!"
11:55am - Arrival at CMU
2:55pm - Nap time in the van back to NYC
6:20pm - NYC Pulls into view
8:20pm - Donatello's Pizza after a long trip. Totally hits the spot! 11:30pm - After a long day of traveling, eating and hanging out, the team retires to the AirBnb apartment in downtown Manhattan. Rest up for a weekend of hacking!
