It's time for the annual Evening of Scribing Recklessly! MoKaBe's has kindly agreed to host us again this year. They're located at 3606 Grand, at Arsenal. We will have the upstairs area reserved as we have in the past. The event will take place from 5-11PM, come and go as your please. The event is free, but if you are able to make a donation it is very much appreciated. Also please keep in mind that MoKaBe's is giving up a large area for us, so if you are able to buy a drink and/or snack (they have dinner items as well, menu on their website) I'm sure they will appreciate it. They aren't charging us to use the space so we'd like to stay in their good graces for next year :)
So if you aren't able to afford to fly to San Francisco for the Night of Writing Dangerously, join us right here in St. Louis for our own little event and boost your wordcount!
Let us know if you have any questions, and we hope to see you there!
Its going to be a fun weekend - company's "holiday party" on the Friday, then I have tickets to see Jim Gaffigan at the Fox on Saturday. THEN the Evening of Scribing Recklessly? I'm either going to super inspired, or super behind on my wordcount ... either way I think I need to be there!
Im so coming :D Im excited, i dont know if I'll make any of the other write ins (god knows Im going to try) but for sure I can make this with my schedule :)
Is the upstairs at Mokabe's going to be really and truly reserved this time, or is it up to us to grab tables as they empty? I ask because last year there were some shy WriMos (is that a bit redundant?) who sat off to the side, away from the larger area a couple of steps up from them, and didn't take part in the word wars or raffles because the rest of us weren't aware that they were there for the EoSR.
Regardless of what the answer is, If you see a bunch of people with laptops in the large upstairs area, please come in. If there's no more room, at least come over and say hi, and point out the table where you'll be sitting. There's no reason we can't include you in the frivolity, but we won't necessarily assume that the people in that other alcove are part of our group.
Supposedly it's going to be officially reserved, but it's kind of hard to say (it was supposed to be last year as well). The manager didn't even remember that we had been there the past 2 years! guess we can just hope for the best...
Yay! Jen I can officially come! We are getting a hotel Saturday night and we can probably stay for the first two hours of this before heading back to Cdale.
So glad you can make it! Will you also be at the Clayton BreadCo write in from 2-4? I'm not positive if I'll be at that one or not since I'll have just moved the day before, but I'll be at MoKaBe's for sure!
I'll try to make it. I'm kind of behind, so I kind of need something like this. The only problem is that I'm feeling sick and don't want to give everyone a cold...
looks like I won't be coming out. This is the first sunday I've had off in weeks, and my boyfriend, who is a fountain of patience, has been severely neglected due to my writing project and my busy gig schedule of the last several weekends, and..., well..., he's serving grilled steak and brussels sprouts, then we're gonna watch Dexter. How can I turn him down?

didn't somebody say there would be a google+ hangout for those who couldn't make it? if so, could someone please direct me to it?
Re: Evening of Scribing Recklessly - November 20 at MoKaBe's 5-11PM
We're having trouble with the connection here. There's no hangout right now, but I'll try a little later.

Re: Evening of Scribing Recklessly - November 20 at MoKaBe's 5-11PM
Right, thanks Baroke. I got a little dyslexic there.
Re: Evening of Scribing Recklessly - November 20 at MoKaBe's 5-11PM
I think I might actually be able to make it! I've got it on my calendar, and unless someone hires me to play somewhere, I'm coming!

Re: Evening of Scribing Recklessly - November 20 at MoKaBe's 5-11PM
OH I love MoKaBe's! I won't be able to make it though; being a single mum has its disadvantages when it comes to getting out of the house >.<
Re: Evening of Scribing Recklessly - November 20 at MoKaBe's 5-11PM
I'm looking forward to attending!

Oh goodness! I'll text you. I'm not sure what we are doing Sun afternoon so we may go to that one too.
Re: Evening of Scribing Recklessly - November 20 at MoKaBe's 5-11PM
I may no be able to make it due to the fact the 20th is my daughter's 8th birthday.
Re: Evening of Scribing Recklessly - November 20 at MoKaBe's 5-11PM
Assuming I remember, I'll be there. :)
Re: Evening of Scribing Recklessly - November 20 at MoKaBe's 5-11PM
Gah I will be in a car driving from St Louis to Branson while you all get to sip coffee and get ahead on your novels.
MoKaBe's french dip sandwich is suppose to be the best in the STL everyone have fun!

Re: Evening of Scribing Recklessly - November 20 at MoKaBe's 5-11PM
Def gonna be there. Got lots of writing to catch up on!
Re: Evening of Scribing Recklessly - November 20 at MoKaBe's 5-11PM
All I've done is flesh out the plot and arc. I guess I better show up.
Re: Evening of Scribing Recklessly - November 20 at MoKaBe's 5-11PM
Sounds like fun, I will certainly try to make it. My word count is lagging, since I started late, but maybe this will help.
Re: Evening of Scribing Recklessly - November 20 at MoKaBe's 5-11PM
This sounds like a lot of fun! I'll be there! :)
Re: Evening of Scribing Recklessly - November 20 at MoKaBe's 5-11PM
I might try to come on the early side. I have tickets to see the Dead come back to life! Further at the Fox with Bob Weir and Phil Lesh.
