At last week's Westbrook Write-In people were asking and talking about what we're doing this year. I was surprised at how many people were interested in going out for Mexican food this year!
So I have made some phone calls to figure out who could accomidate our group. While Margaritas is known to a lot of people, they don't think they can fit us in. They are usually mega busy on Saturday nights, and we are planning this for Saturday December 1st @ 6PM. Usually there are 15-20 of us!
After all our discussions and the phone calls I made this week the decision has been made to go to Hacienda Panco Villa in South Portland! I've heard good things about their food and that their menu is huge, so even people (like me) who are not hugely into Mexican food should be able to find something yummy to eat.
From here I need to know who's going to be joining us. I need to know, hopefully by Wednesday, who will be going and how many people you will be bringing with you. Please, feel free to bring boy/girlfriends, husbands, wives, friends! This is a time to celebrate, hang out and have fun after the struggle that is NaNo!
Post here if you will be coming and how many of you there will be total.
Ken
PS - Ellie, I already have you counted!

I'll be there as long as it doesn't snow! I will have at least one person with me, possibly two.

Also, I'd like to add that this TGIO party is not just for people who live in the Portland area. Everyone is welcome. In fact, it would be fantastic if everyone within driving distance could come. And you don't have to have reached 50k, as we're celebrating the Nano experience, the insanity, the fun--and the fact that we can all resume our normal lives for a while.

You can count me in. I may be a little late because I am playing in a band concert in Gorham until 5:00. But I hope to get there by 6:30 or so. Save me a seat!!

Just getting this up where it's more noticeable. It's probably not too late to contact Kendra.

I made a reservation for 20 at Hacienda Pancho Villa. There's plenty of room for stragglers who have not reponded.
Can't wait to see everyone there!

Sorry to ask so last minute, but if someone could give me directions that would be great!

It's at Hacienda Pancho Villa. It's at 671 Main St. in south Portland.
If you go to Yahoo Maps and plug in this and your address it will give you good directions. I used it earlier for someone else and the directions are very good.
I hope that helps. I tried to send you a PM with my cell phone # in case you needed more help, but you're notaccepting PMs.
Hope that helps. If not respond here again and I'll try to help more.

Thank you. I don't know why I didn't think to do that. Lack of sleep I guess, trying to finish in time! I think I got it set to allow PMs now. I didn't realize I had it set that way. Back to writing... just 450 words left! I've really saved it for the last minute this year. See you tomorrow!
