Kick-off parties, Write-ins and more! http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/usa-tennessee-elsewhere/threads/542 Scarletfury Hey Wrimos! Here is where you make your voice heard on what you'd like to see/have happen this year and which dates and times work well for you. For those of you in the Tri-cities/Johnson City area, it is currently my stomping grounds and actual write-ins and such will be held there. I have Panera and Barnes and Nobles jotted down as potential locations and am currently working with the East Tennessee State University 's Sherrod Library as a third location. They are open to hosting us a few times a week, the atmosphere is pretty nice and there is an Einstein and Bros. bagel shop/cafe in the library lobby. I'll update this post when I have more information. Current days I am looking at are, Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. I am working to get some online options together for everyone else, Google Hangouts and a Chatroom are my present options. I am open to suggestions and feedback, please let me know what works and what doesn't or if you know of a way to make the Nano experience better for everyone. Thank you! ^_^.

The store isn't huge, though. How many people normally make it to a write-in in JC? If it isn't too many, I'll drop the idea by the owner.

I'm hoping for a few more, but I'd estimate kind of low at the moment.

The only days she already has events are the 11th and first friday, so anything else should be fare game. The store I would like to host an event at is called Caravan Mystique at 127 Spring St. It is great writing atmosphere and any time I have ever been stumped I just look around the store, and I am bound to fall upon something to spark up the flow again. I think everyone else would enjoy it, too :) Thu, 20 Oct 2011 23:40:10 +0100 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/usa-tennessee-elsewhere/threads/542?page=1#forum_thread_comment_147305 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/usa-tennessee-elsewhere/threads/542?page=1#forum_thread_comment_147305 genaverse What times on those days is it likely that people will meet?

I'm thinking the Tri-cities kick-off will be this coming Friday, between 5-6PM, location still to be set.

Just throwing that out there, I'm on and off campus constantly Mon-Thursday.

Veteran's day and all. I don't have classes on Fridays so I had no reason to even think about it until just now.
