May 16th was the halfway point between the end of NaNo'07 and the start of NaNo'08 (yes, I really did put too much thought into that). Which means we have PASSED the halfway point and are heading into the next NaNo season now! Hooray!
So, any ideas for stories yet? Want a way to meet up with other NaNo-ers in the area to help with planning and strategies before November looms nigh?

Yes! Meeting!
Have a few plots, working on a few of them already but have others that can (and probably will) wait for November to come around.

Obviously I'm in. Though starting June 23rd it'll be a lot harder to fit into my schedule, since I'll be working at an internship from 9:30-5:00 every weekday, plus my regular job on tuesday and Friday nights. But I vote YES!

Mondays and Wedsnesdays are best for me since I have nothing at all going on those days, followed by weekends. Tuesdays are completely out because I'm covering for someone at work on maternity leave until my internship starts, so I'm working from 2:30-8:00pm, and Thursdays are possible but icky since it'd have to be after 5:30. Fridays work any time except for 3:30-5:30, and Saturday and Sunday afternoons are both really good for me.

Hey friends! I'm in the throes of graduating, so May's pretty busy for me, but I'd probably come to a weekend meetup.
True confession: I already have an idea for NaNo 2008...and I still haven't finished either of my NaNo 2007 novels. ^_^;;

If the location is bussable from Boulder, I could do one of the near-future Saturdays. (Not the 24th of May, but that one doesn't sound like it's on the table anyway.)
I got no plots yet, but I'm sure one will show up between now and then.

Don't know it super well, but I know how to get to Arapahoe from where I am, so I bet I could find you and giv eyou a ride easily enough! (I live off of Colorado and I-25 so I'm about 15-20 outside of Littleton and Cetennial...it's pretty much a straight shot for me)

My work schedule's on the Crazy setting right now, so I don't know from week to week (literally) when I'm available. Monday nights, except first of the month, are pretty safe, and *at the moment* I haven't had a change on being free Saturday mornings into the early afternoon. Long way of saying I'm not sure when I'm free, but if you're meeting and I can make it, I'll be thrilled to see everyone again! I have some vague ideas for plots, but no idea if I'll go with any of them; I probably need to start reading more--that usually gets my muse going.

The 14th works fine for me!
Do we just want to meet up at Woody's like we did for the kickoff parties? Or...well, what areas of town is everyone in? I suggested Woody's just because I know at least a few of you are in the more southerly direction, but it that's way too inconvenient for the northern types...

Too bad, I've got band camp on Saturday. Otherwise, I'd love to come planning. Goodness knows I need it...I'm determined to win this year after falling off the face of the earth in '07.

k...so Since I'm not sure who can come....I'm hesitant to plan too much.
I'll be at Cafe Caliente from 10am - 2pm if you'd like to come and chat (32nd & mead a block away from Lowell) about next year.
Otherwise maybe we can get together in July?

Arapahoe. We got second in state last year, but as our band was ~1/3 seniors last year, we pretty much suck now. Oh well, at least I get a nice farmer's tan. :P
Anyhoodle, July works smashingly for me. All I've got planned is volunteering and I've got a flexible schedule so there shouldn't be any problems.

Oh, right, we should mention availability, huh? ^_^.;; Well, in July weekends definitely work best for me, especially Saturdays since I never have anything going on those days, though Sundays still work well, too. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays I'm free after 5pm, Fridays after 5:30pm, and Tuesdays pretty much not at all (my internship goes from 9-5 and then I work from 5-8 that night). So, yeah, weekdays I'm only free in the evenings, but I can meet up any time at all on weekends!
