NaNoToBa Off Season Meet & Greets (January - September)

As we've done for the past few years, Heather and I will be hosting off-season gatherings on the second Friday of every month (after December, please, as we need to sleep and get through the holiday season first). Traditionally, these have been hosted at the Fyxx on Broadway, a coffee shop that is (a) wheelchair accessible and (b) has been very accommodating to us in the past.

Off-seasons don't tend to be a whole lot of people, and they're very much a come-as-you-are kind of informal social gathering. We sit, drink coffee, try and cement names to faces and kvetch about life, the universe, work, spouses, kidlings and whatever else comes to mind. Sometimes we even end up talking about writing - but not often.

Nanowrimo is a bit like a tent city that comes into town for the faire. It sets up, there is much merriment and joy, and then it all blows out of town again, leaving good memories and a few pieces of popcorn skittering across the snow-covered parking lot. We don't try to keep up this kind of energy the rest of the year, it would kill us. So we invite people to come out and chill with us for a couple of hours once a month and actually *gasp* make friends with some of the other participants. :) Even introduce us to friends you have that might want to come out and play next fall.

Some of us have snapped
Some of us are watching
Some of us are trapped
Some of us are wounded
Some of us have strayed
Some of us are striving
Some of us have not been paid...
