Yes, I'm sure I have the date right this time, since it's tonight! Haven't gotten any responses from you guys, so I'm going to assume that tonight is okay. Shoeless will be there for sure, and she'll likely be bringing a whole gaggle of people with her! I don't know if I'll be able to make it due to the transportation situation, but I will definitely do my best. Bring your laptop or notebook and get ready for some fun!
Remember, 6 PM on the second floor of Donkey Coffee.

Right! This is gonna be pretty much awesome; I've never been to a write-in before! And hey, if Corvus can't make it, I offer myself to be official Second-In-Command. I can be your lieutenant! Like a tiny secondary ML... And my cowboys can't wait to meet all of you. HUZZAH!

I pulled one of those stupid "Oh my God, I have to turn in this paper and I haven't started on it!" all nighters last night, getting to bed at the ripe auld hour of eight-thirty in the morning, with a ten-thirty class. So, I'm going to get a nap and a Red Bull and try to meet up with you writing rock stars again! If I don't make it, though, I'm snoring.

Are we meeting up/having a write in/being abducted by aliens this week, guys? I haven't heard anything from you so I was curious to find out before tomorrow. Let me know!

I'm pretty sure we're doing something tomorrow (I'll be there fer shur, even if Corvus isn't) so I'd bring stuff to write with just in case. In an EPIC FAIL move, I lost about 3,000 words of my story and had to rewrite, but now I'm back and almost up to Corvus' posted word count. :D
SPEAKING OF, Happy ML Day, Corvus! Although you shower me in put-downs and belittle my cowboys, I appreciate you! (mostly just because you somehow manage to put up with me) WOO.

If everybody wants to get together, I'm sure that would be a good way to up my wordcount some. I've been slacking, as I wind up doing every year. I would, of course, need to arrange transportation -- theperfectcrime, would you be able to swing by my place and drop me off?

Oh no, Shoeless! D: BACK UP YOUR NOVEL. Seriously. Gmail and Google Docs are for the win. And sure, Corvus, I'd be happy to! It's no problem at all. About what time would you want me to pick you up?
And don't worry. I started the week out all right, but augh, second-week-slump has been kicking me about the head and face. I'm doing some word wars tonight on AIM sometime to try and get myself out of it.

If we start at 6 PM, like usual, then around 5:30 - 5:45 would be fine. Should I even bother starting a new thread? I don't think anyone who wasn't at the last meeting is even bothering with NaNo anymore (mcgravin, etc.), and we're all here already.

Sure, I'll be there!
I wouldn't bother starting a new thread, since we're all here anyway and we know what's going on. Besides, the topic is marked, anyone who wants to come can see it's been replied to since the second. That might be me having too much faith in the intelligence of mankind, though... (Soylent Green is from Final Fantasy, or so I'm told. ;D)

Hay guys, just letting y'all know that my friends are ABANDONING ME this time, and I'll be coming alone. Kristin may or may not show up late (she's working 'til 6:30) sooo.... sorry :(
BUT my cowboys and I will be there. Huzzah?

I am very busy this evening and am not planning on going out. If you and the others want to get together, go for it! Writing POWER! I did get my ML shirt in, finally, so maybe I can wear it next week.

Everyone:
It appears that I will be unable to remain in Athens for the final week of NaNo, as I'd previously planned. Thanksgiving has moved down to my grandparents' house in Kentucky, and the family is staying there pretty much all week, etc. So, I won't be able to make it to any more meetings, unless you wanna break habit and meet tomorrow. Otherwise, I'm gone. I have internet at my mom's house now, so I should be able to keep updating my wordcount and whatnot. Sorry to leave you again, Corvus. I'd stay if I could! I'll try my hardest to finish this year (if only to beat Corvus), and I wish y'all the best of luck on your novels and a wonderful holiday season.
Erin, the Crazy Cowboy

What if we had an online meeting? I think Corvus has AIM; we could just start a chatroom at 6. I like this option. It lets me type. :P

A chat meeting would be fine, so long as we don't waste too much energy goofing off. It puts extra strain on my hands. ;)

Unknown as to whether I'll have internetz at 6 on Friday, but I'll be on as long as I do have access. Anytime y'all wanna talk (even if my away message is on) feel free to AIM me. Hope everyone's doing well, and it's been an awesome NaNo with you guys.
