Totally valid point, and everybody should be given a fair shake, it's just that a lot of the people I've met from the west coast startup scene seem very pretentious (and I'm quite sure I'm not the only person out east who feels that way.)

Paul doesn't seem that way at all in this video, however, in fact he seems incredibly down to earth. I found this surprising and refreshing, and it makes me think that I have a misconception about the scene out there, and that I would like to experience it now to decide for myself.
