Schaumburg write-ins? http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/usa-illinois-chicago/threads/5286 smwalter Since I'm out here in the NW suburbs ML'ing this year I wanted to know if there was interest in Schaumburg write-ins. I know that the Borders shut down, but Barnes & Noble is right down the street as an option, and a Starbucks is nearby if I am recalling correctly. Please let me know if there's enough interest in having a regular gathering, and what times/days of the week work best during November.

Right now I know most of my schedule for Nov from work so I know what days I have off and such. And you're right there is a Starbucks nearby, it's in Streets of Woodfield, and I'm pretty sure the Schaumburg Library wouldn't mind us too much if we went to them about what we are doing.

I know there is one Monday where I won't be able to be there (so no ML stickers on that Monday, sorry!!) which I think is Nov 7th due to work training, but I should be able to be there after that. I'm proposing around 7pm. I'm still hammering out my work schedule right now so this could be subject to change as far as official write-in times but even if I can't be there I'd encourage a meet-up regardless. Anyone else have a different time/day suggestion? I can't due Wed. or Thurs. for sure. -Stacy Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:37:28 -0400 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/usa-illinois-chicago/threads/5286?page=1#forum_thread_comment_128728 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/usa-illinois-chicago/threads/5286?page=1#forum_thread_comment_128728 ShadowJim Is that the Starbucks that's in the same parking lot where the Border's used to be?
