      Photo by Paul McKellar from the winter 08 YC batch. We're listening to Ev Williams speak. Behind me is Paul Buchheit, and behind him is Mike Arrington, naughtily checking his phone. (Constantly checking phones was not then universal, since the iPhone was still only 6 months old.)pic.twitter.com/J8nNPtXR0m

      Here's Jessica talking to Ev, while I whip up a custom vegan dinner for him. The room you see behind us was pretty much the whole of YC at that point.pic.twitter.com/aSybSnQbkU

          (Actually these photos seem to be from two different dinners. I think the speaker in the first one might have been Liam Casey.)

          I miss those days! Was such a contrast to do YC S09 and W20. I’d have to say the food was better in S09.

          YC riding on your coattails imo. You are and always will be the reason YC is what it is today

          C'mon this should be a live TV cooking format. A startup lesson and a delicious meal served up in an erudite 20 minute segment? Yes please.

          Now I’m beginning to wonder when I’ll ever get to try your vegan dishes. Seems like the guys at YC nowadays don’t get to taste the secret sauce anymore 😢

          I can see myself in the background! I remember we had to distribute our weight evenly on those benches or they would tip over.
