Hi Everyone,
I've made a reservation at the Kingston Brewing Company (34 Clarence St) for us to have a Kick-Off Party on November 1st at 6PM. It's a chance to combine a little socializing and refreshment as we start putting our novels down on paper or electronic form. The novel of 50,000 words begins with a single keystroke, or something like that. Bring laptops, alphasmarts, pencils and paper, magnetic poetry pieces, or whatever writing tool you prefer (except perhaps paint -- too messy). (Personally, I propose we have a prize for whoever logs the most words on day one.)
Please RSVP in this forum so that if there are more people coming than I guesstimated I can tell the Brew Pub to set more space aside for us. Naturally, all participants are welcome regardless of age. Younger wrimos can bring an adult chaperone. Non-participants can come too as long as they are willing to spend some time writing -- they can always register as participants after, nudge nudge. Anyone who didn't get their free pocket-sized novelling kit last Saturday can get it at this event.

I would attend, but I have to work from 3:30 pm onwards. If I get a chance to drop in for a quick hello after 6:00 I will, but no guarantees. Best of luck with the event, hopefully lots of others will show.

I'd like to go, but I have no idea where that is.. ^_^;;
Anyway, good luck on NaNo and have fun at the party!

My apologies -- Kingston Brewing Co. is at 34 Clarence Street, which is downtown, right next to Classic Video. Here is a link, which should take you to a map...

Alan and I will try to be there but there's a 5:30-6:30 conflict where other family members need the van, so we'll be a bit late. Of course, I'm unreliable -- witness my complete absence from Brew Pub events last year despite planning to go. Maybe Alan will prod me.

Sorry, not me, I have to work. But I'll be sure to make it to most of the Chapters write-ins!!
Thanks for all the hard work on our behalf!

I am still completely undecided about whether I'm going to write this year. If I do, I'll come tomorrow.

I'm going to be in Quebec, but hopefully will be able to join in at other events.
