I'm over here in Brookline, wondering if anyone else is in the immediate area along Rt 51. It'd be cool to hit up some of the write-ins, but I'm new to Pittsburgh and get very lost especially with construction detours (yay!) so I'd prefer to hang out with the folks closer to home. My work hours are also likely to hinder write-in participation (I work 8am-11am and 4:30-7:30pm plus travel time to Monroeville for the afternoon hours). :(
Anyone in the area willing to hang out at a semi-local place (there's a Caribou Coffee up the road from me, I think!) for sporadic local write-ins, or should I keep an eye on the calendar and attempt to make it to the group ones?

Where should we meet? I vote for the Eat N' Park in Dormont (for that all-hours writing) or The Coffee Tree in Mt. Lebanon.

I live in Dormont, within close walking distance to the local Eat 'n Park, so it might be nice to meet there. The Carabou Coffee would be good, too.

Hi there!
I'm a WashPA Wrimo and I would love the chance for our regions to do a write-in together. Mt. Lebo works for me. I'll post in our forum to see who else would be interested. I would love to go to the downtown ones but I can't handle Pittsburgh traffic and finding places unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. I agree, evenings, not so much the wee hours.

I don't know how helpful I can be, lol. I am off to a really terrible start this year.
I'm free most weekday evenings, starting around 6pm. Plus, early afternoons on both days of the weekend until about 5pm.

So? Have we decided when and where we will meet for the first time? Perhaps we can get together this week. I can't today and I have plans for tomorrow and Friday night, so Thursday would be nice. I get off work at 5 and it takes me nearly an hour to get home (I usually stop at the library for a few mins), so any time after six would be excellent.

i think a weekly thing would be good, thursdays are generally the best time for me. i may also try to hit a city write-in but i'd prefer something in the south hills. it's kind of a trek into the city.

Yup, just send me a NaNoMail of the date, time, and location (I like to put addresses on the Google calendar just so everyone is clear where they're ending up), and I'll add it right on! I'll put Thursdays for the rest of the month down tenatively as 'South Hills Write-In', then just give me the details, and I can add those :)

My schedule is terrible for write-ins... especially since I get home so late that I rarely want to go out afterward. Weekends are free if anyone wants to hang out on a Saturday or Sunday though!
Edited: realized we had figured stuff out, haha. I'll try to hit up next week's thursday write-in after work! :)
