Ask HN: What's the dress code for YCNYC?

Does anyone know what the dress code for the YCNYC event is? Are we sporting suits, or should we pack our hoodies? Even if there's no dress code - what's everyone planning on wearing? What's the best-practice for events like these?

Cheers

In life, I've always lived by this rule: Always dress like you are going somewhere more important later.

I prefer to dress as if I may be presented with an opportunity to take a nap, in which case I will want to be very comfortable. Seriously though, I will likely wear shorts and a tee-shirt.

Quoting Renee from YC: "The dress is business casual.". So, no suits needed, but a T-shirt doesn't quite seem appropriate either. Anything above a T-shirt seems likely fine.

So... a button down? I wore slacks a polo to an interview recently and I felt it was okay. But this is sounding more formal. Now I'm not sure...and it's tomorrow!

I can't imagine it will matter too much for the yc people there. Above the minimum (clean clothes?), just be interesting, inquisitive, and personable.

Uhh, does anyone know what the location for this is? I RSVPed 'coming' and never got any info on where this is happening.
