Any interest in a CTA write in? http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/usa-illinois-chicago/threads/28264 Necrotic.Blue If you think you might like to participate in a CTA write in (we'd get on a train and write while we ride around and around) chime in with dates/times that would work for you! If we've got enough people we'll put something together.

The space is better for laptop users and generally cleaner and safer.

My secondary MC is a CTA mechanic, and I considered taking the Brown Line up to Kimball one day to walk around for a bit and get a feel for the station where I have him working. And, the urine smell will add to the ambiance. LOL! Let me know when you're doing this, and I'll see if it meshes with my schedule.

I met one of my best friends on a CTA write-in! It's great fun and totally awesome. I'd have to vote against the Metra, though, just because it costs more to ride and there's less flexibility on when people decide to go home, since they'd have to wait for the next Metra running the opposite direction.
