WOOHOO!!! In just two short weeks, it will be time for… Drumroll please! …the TGIO PARTY for the St. Louis region!!! *cheering throngs* *confetti*
WHEN: Saturday, December 1, 6:30pm till whenever
WHERE: Houlihan’s (back by popular demand) at 1085 N Mason Rd., Creve Coeur 314-469-1167
We need a headcount for this, so PLEASE POST IN THIS THREAD by 11/28 (the sooner the better!) if you plan to attend and let us know if you’ll be bringing any guests and if so how many. (Also, please let us know if you post and then have to cancel.)
If you need directions, here’s a map: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=38.677567909,+-90.4705291986+(Houlihan`s Creve Coeur)&z=15
Last year, mck2001 was kind enough to post public transportation info. Maybe this year he’ll do that again? Pretty please?
You do not have to reach 50k to attend, though your food will no doubt taste better if you do. All participants from the greater St. Louis region and their guests are welcome.
Prices mostly fall in the $9-24 range. Separate checks will be provided, and an 18% gratuity will be added.
We had a great time at last year’s TGIO despite a major ice storm. Join the fun and help make this year’s will be even better!

I will be there, of course. Here's hoping that we have nice weather (relatively speaking...it *is* St. Louis weather we're talking about here).
Now I just have to stop meeting my writing goals one day late...

Unfortunately December First is my Mom's B-day (oh, on second thought I would have to say that is fortunate otherwise I might not be here to decline). If I get the chance to run through, I most certainly will!

I'll be there - though I'm going to hope for no ice storm!
Public transit information - http://www.metrostlouis.org is the site for Metro. I think the Olive (#91) goes fairly close to there. I know a lot of people car-pooled last year, as well.

Totally.
I mean, I work up the street (and across 270) from there, apparently, so I can't really skip it.
With any luck, I'll be able to drag mah boyfriend and word coach along.
*huggles the boyfriend*
So I'm RSVPing here for 1 and possibly another. ^_^

I hope to celebrate with you, but I might be late. I have a work thing that starts at 4 pm that is of undetermined length. I'm still a without-a-clue askew blue guru, almost through with my fictional spew, but I hope to be purple and ... dang, nothing cool rhymes with purple.
Adieu!

I'd like to go but not sure I'll be able to make it. Piano recital today and I have to play a duet with my daughter. Depending on how it goes I may be knee deep in a fifth of tequila by 6 pm!

Well, I can only speak for myself, but I think the TGIO party went pretty darn well. We were just shy of 30 people. It was great seeing the usual suspects from the Write-Ins as well as meeting some of our online comrades for the first time. And to those who couldn't make it: you were missed, but we felt you were with us in spirit.
There may be regions larger than ours (tho not many) and regions with more words (tho not many), but there aren't any regions with more heart. Thank you all.
