Yo fellow NaNos! I know there are some of you SLO people lurking around so come out from under your rock and get in here. When November comes around, we'll need to meet up and chill at places other than Starbucks because aspiring writers = have no money.

High Desert

krazikrys — Mon, 8 Oct 2007 17:29:07 -0700

Hi everyone!

Anyone from the high desert?

We don't exactly fit in the IE, because we're up the hill from them.

We don't exactly fit in the Central Valley either because they are across the mountains from us.

Any other WriMos out there in Barstow, Baker, Needles, Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, Lucerne Valley, Lenwood, Hinkley, Ludlow, or any other high-desert location I missed?

Is anyone else in Siskiyou County going to participate here this November? If so, please reply. I'd love to know I'm not the only one from our huge county at the top of the state.

I'd like to connect with other NaNoWriMos in Napa, if possible. The Marin-North Bay group is too far away and focused more on the Marin area. Any one out there?

Meeting in Redding

mountainbluebird — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 12:24:10 -0700

I'm serious about getting writing times together.

I called Yaks and Bad Ass Coffee about their open times:

Yaks - on Bechelli, is open Monday through Friday 7am-10pm, Saturday 8-10 pm, Closed Sundays

Bad Ass Coffee - 200 Lake Blvd, is open Monday through Friday 5:30am-10 pm, Saturday 6:30-10 and Sunday 7-7.

I think having a weekend time and a weekday time is a good idea, although if we managed even one meeting in the whole month it would be an improvement over last year.

So, how are your weekends? I'm hearing people are working on Saturday - (two different people). what about Sunday? How about a 1-4 time at Bad Ass? or 1-5? (I'm pretty much available on the weekends anytime. Friday eve, Saturday anytime or Sunday anytime. Like I said I would prefer not to have to drive the pass after dark - but hey, Nano is all about the challenge, so.)

I don't know about weeknights. But to get the discussion started - how does Tuesday nights 6-10 at Yaks sound - or November 6, 6-10 at Yaks (just go for one to see if it flies)?

I got to go.

CHEEKO PEEPLE PLACE (Surrounding communities welcome.)

no_more_prissyboys — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 21:17:56 -0700

Dear New and Used NaNoWriMo-ers,
Perhaps it will simplify things if we communicate under the title above "CHEEKO PEEPLE PLACE." Easier for setting meetings etc?

MEET AND GREET DATES-PLEASE RESPOND ASAP IF YOU WANT TO TAKE PART

no_more_prissyboys — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 00:02:10 -0700

Hi All-
This is in response to the discussion about getting together before Nov 1. I also posted it at the end of the other thread, so here is a suggestion:

The weather is still nice. How about a "meet and greet" in the park-perhaps at Five Mile?

If we wanted to go all out, we could bring some snacks. I suppose the weekend would be the best? Perhaps 4PM on a Sat or Sun? I don't know...just trying to think of times when people would not be too occupied. If we did the park, we would need an alternate location in case of rain. Anywhere covered in the park?

It seems that we would want somewhere with some space, bc even if there are only five who show up, a cafe may be too small.

OK-I'LL TAKE THE LEAD HERE. HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD SHOW UP FOR A MEET AND GREET ON ANY OF THE FOLLOWING DATES/TIMES? YOU CAN JUST RESPOND BY LISTING THE DATES/TIMES YOU CAN MEET. I'LL TALLY THEM UP. PLEASE RESPOND BY WEDNESDAY (HOPE I AM NOT BEING BOSSY-JUST WANT TO SEE IF WE CAN WORK THIS OUT.

HERE ARE THE DATES AND TIMES:
1. FRIDAY 10/26 AT 5PM
2..SATURDAY 10/27 AT 3 PM
3..SUNDAY 10/28 AT 3PM

I hope those are good times. You can respond by simply writng (e.g.) 1. yes, 2. no and 3. no to state you answers.
