I'll be there. At Panera's that is. And I have it on my calendar for every Thursday but thanksgiving, so anyone else who wants to come won't necessarily be alone. My laptop has a Ziggy "Feel Good Aout Yourself... Give Blood" sticker on it.

We are here already. :D I have my home made NanoWrimo 50,000 words or Bust! sign on table. We are to left of door as you right in, on the other side of long seat/tables.
We'll actually get here between 5-5:30 every Thursday I can come. :D Yea! I need it! Already deleted file 3 as it killed my story and my word count. lol
IF it turns out my sister can't go out of town next Thursday, then I'll be here, otherwise I won't.

I'm at the Carabou on Xerxes. I'm sitting kinda near the door, writing on my trusty MacBook. I asked one person if she was here for the write-in, but she wasn't.
So, if anyone is here, and sees this, pls let me know :)

Kyteroo, I might be a bit late. I just remember that I volunteered to tutor some kids, and may go until 5 or 515, so you can expect me at like 530 at the latest.

Kyteroo, I will be at the Anoka Dunn Bros write in tomrrow!
I'll be the gal with the little red netbook, though I think it'll be too warm tomorrow (!) for wearing my knit cap with ears (my standard NaNo garb when writing).
Anyone else attending??

I'll be there with my homemade NaNoWriMo sign. It will say "Nanowrimo 50,000 words or bust," and will be on a black stand. I'm pretty easy to spot as I usually wear plaid, but for the marathon write-in, I'm wearing my Yacht shirt to symbolize moving from place to place. I'll have my AlphaSmart.
I'll be there by 5 for sure, but may get there earlier if I can take off with my Sister's car sooner. I don't have my usual word count yet. :P
They have plenty of outlets, but my extension cord will be with anyways and plugged in so we don't have to spread out to 2 outlets. The have 1 outlet per table grouping.

Yea! I'll put some tables together and will be ready. If all 4-5 show up, then this will be the largest write-in at Anoka/Coon Rapids area history of NaNoWrimo to my knowledge. lol
I'll will get to Anoka DB by 4pm only because as soon as Sis gets home, I'm taking off. ;)

Ugh, sorry about the no show, the parentals decided that having a "B" average in school isn't good enough, so they made me come home after the volunteering thing and are making me study tonight. Sorry I couldn't let you know earlier, they just decided that today like, as I was leaving for Anoka.

No problem. ;) One other person was a maybe and one was a for sure. However, no one showed up yet. I suspect that the stupid construction over Ferry st. RR crossing is the issue, as I doubt anyone really read the second post that listed the detour route.
----------Bye! Best wishes with studying!

One person did show up. :D It worked. ')
Anywho on to new topic:
TONIGHT: Panera's in Brooklyn Center.
Anyone able to come?
UPDATE edit:
My Sister got back sooner then expected from trip, and her cold didn't last as long as we thought it would, so it looks likeshe had allergies instead of cold. So, she will be driving me instead. YEA!!!
I will probably get there before 6pm now. lol
THULA - Hope your headache goes away! I'll be writing through mine. Taking Migraine med after supper gets done, so I can have it on a full stomach instead of empty.
***
I can get my Mom's car. IF I don't do any dyslexic driving manuevers, I'll get there around 6 - 6:15, if I go the opposite of what I want, routinely, then I get there around 7. lol Only Brooklyn Center, and Brooklyn Park, and leaving MOA do I ever do the opposite of what I really want thinking, I'm going the right way.
Leaving MOA, I've found myself in downtown St., Paul, on 7th ave, the airport, Fort Snelling, and Bloomington.
----------Leaving the Shoreview area, I ended up in Boniface and then Crown College because i went the wrong way on hwy 7, getting straightened out, I turned down one road and kept going. Just happened to run into Crown college. rofl
I know Minneapolis much better and don't usually get turned around there.

I plan to be there, especially if this headache goes away, but I'm way behind where I want to be, still ahead of where I need to be and so I need to find that happy medium, hopefull at tonight's write-in.
