Title: I was fortunate enough to get accepted to startup-school.  I'll be coming on Thursday afternoon, leaving on Monday morning.  I've got a couple of desktop product, and I'm seriously working towards my own web-based startup.  My questions are:<p>(1) Besides myself, what should I bring to the conference itself?  Will a laptop just be a burden because of lack of space?<p>(2) Besides a pretty great lineup of speakers, what else should I expect?<p>(3) Besides pg's essays, is there anything I can do to prep, to make the experience more valuable?<p>(4) This might seem strange, but I've been dreaming about coming to Silicon Valley ever since I was a kid.  I've been to SF once (loved it), but didn't make it to SV.  Anything I should not miss in SV while I'm there?  I just looked, and it seems most of the Computer History Museum is closed for renovations.<p>(5) Any other suggestions as to how I can make the most out of the experience?<p>Thanks.
