This meetup happened at the Panera Bread in Hadley Mass, one nght a week starting at around five and going until about nine or so. I got most o fmy writing done then. There is no ML or any other such nonsense, just writing. I plan on going on Thursday nights at six p.m. Love to see folks there. And yeah, the free refills on coffee helps! So does the free wifi.

I could do that. Wouldn't be able to get there 'til about 7, but I could certainly make it for some of the time.

Ack. Thursday just happens to be the night my knitting circle meets. This will be interesting. Luckily I've still got half a month to figure it out...

Yeah, Thursdays are out for me, too - the pull of knitting group (where the yarns I will be working will be verbal as well as fibrous) is very strong.

Mondays, anyone?

Incidentally, there will be powerstrips, yes? My laptop's battery has been all but nonfunctional for the last two years.

There can be powerstrips, although currently I haven't got an extra one anymore. Last eyar there were several runs to walmart for that kind of stuff (esp. headphones).

I'll be there around 6:45 or 7:00. Got choir rehearsal, and unless our conductor is sick I've got an obligation to meet... but I can be there to write some, at least!

Sorry I had to leave early :(
Won't be there tonight either... working later than I thought
But
I do expect to be there again on Monday, and of course for more orange starfish fun on Thursday!

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow (Thursday). Hope people can make it, I'm looking forward to boosting my word count a bit and seeing everyone.

Hopefully kasumiheyes will be able to show up to display the starfish, but I expect to be there by around 5:30 or so.

I will definitely be there tonight, I need to really sit down and crank out some words today. There has been talk about bringing a power strip, is there anyone who can committ to bringing one?

I will be there! (And hi, I'm Val! I'm in Orange.) I should be there around 6pm. I'm a little behind on my daily quota so I'm hoping I'll be able to focus!

I'll be there, too, 5:30/6-ish. I can't commit to bringing a powerstrip, but I'll certain try and find one if I can. I need to do some catching up as well. Look forward to meeting you all.

I'm here, in the usual Orange Starfish back corner. No power strip, sorry to say, but I'm plugged in now, so my battery will be fully charged if someone needs to borrow my outlet. I have two (very unofficial) Nanowrimo slinkeys still to give away as writing totems, or inspiration, or just a handy procrastination device.

Hope to see you all soon!

Sorry I won't be there after all, last minute family thing came up. Write well though... Keep the starfish of your hearts full of writerly writingness.

Not going to be able to make this evening - just have too many obligations throughout the day and tonight. My thoughts will be with you folks.

I will be there tonight! I can't get there until around 6pm and I'll probably stay until they close at 9pm. If I'm the first one there I'll be in the back corner.

Usual corner taken. There's spaces but no room for outlets. I've staked out a claim to one of the round tables just opposite (where Val sat last week). There's not tons of room, but hopefully one of the other corners with more tables will clear out eventually. If it does clear up, I do have a power strip.

I'm the tall balding guy in red at the round table.

Hey -

I'll still be at Panera Bread in Hadley tonight... I've passed the finish line, but the books unfinished, so I'm trying to get the story wrapped up. Hope to see some folks there.

PS - I forgot the powerbar at home, I'm afraid, and I realized it when I was too close to work to turn back, so if you need one, I'm afraid you'll need to bring it.

I'm afraid I'm not being very constructive tonight. It's past six and I'm the only one here, so I think I'm going to pack up early. Good luck to anyone who shows later in the evening.
