Wrimo breakfast discussion and planning! http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/dangerous-writers-night-of-writing-dangerously/threads/37364 chrisk0 Okay, I wanted to start a new thread for this and break it out of the 'Group activities' discussion. It looks like not everybody was happy with Lori's diner last year, but a lot of us had loads of fun - do we want to go with the same venue or try somewhere else? My vote is to stay with Lori's, just because I haven't found another breakfast place in San Fran that's much good.

I was thinking of taking the train out there once the breakfast was over, if anybody else wanted to come along. (And thank you to honeywell, East Bay ML for letting us know about that write-in.)

IIRC, they tend to be REALLY busy on the weekends. I don't think they do reservations, but if we can get a rough headcount, it might be helpful to call and give them a heads-up on our plans?
