As Heather is unable to return to Calgary until Sunday afternoon, it falls to me to organize our TGIO party. I apologise for the late notice, and ask lenience this year - I promise, next year, we'll have everything planned and scheduled before November even starts!
TGIO stands for Thank Goodness It's Over. It's a chance for us to all get together, eat food, read excerpts from our novels, and just generally enjoy ourselves after the insanity of NaNoWriMo is over.
Last year's party was held at Cheesecake Cafe on Macleod, and we kind of overwhelmed them (largely because more people showed up than had RSVP'd). This year, we'll meet at the Ricky's across from Chinook mall (where the Midway Bash was held). Please RSVP before 5.00 p.m. on Friday, so that I can call and let them know how many people will be coming. Even if you're a maybe, I need to know!
Ricky's is a family-friendly restaurant, so feel free to bring "novel-adjacent persons" with you (children, spouses, fiances, etc.) but do include them in your RSVP for me.
Thanks, everyone, and I hope many are able to show up for the Push to the Finish Line on Friday night in the chat room!

Just so it's in the thread.
I'll be there like shareware.

Maturity is knowing you were an idiot in the past.
Wisdom is knowing you will be an idiot in the future.
Common sense is knowing you should try to not be an idiot today.

Last time I was there, shareware was nowhere to be seen.
I'm not saying that's indicative of the success you'll find, I'm just saying is all...
Ever consider open source?

You've nowhere to hide,
nowhere to run,
Your village will burn like the heart of the sun,
With infinite glee,
It's going to be me,
That slaughters the wooooorld.
I've always wanted to just break out into that song randomly.

So for everyone who heard Nami and Cabby's duet tonight, and had no idea what they were singing, watch this.
