I didn't think to backup the post, I thought they already did the message board purge. Anyway, someone said it would be cool to do a midnight kickoff write-in on the first. I want to do it. Discuss. |

Yes, we had agreed to do the kick-off at the IHOP on Baymeadows, meeting at 10:30 pm and staying a few hours. I believe rioffly said something about having reserved a banquet room for a few hours for all us crazy nano-ers.

I'd want to meet that Paula chick...ha ha I'm as happy as that saying about clams AND I rather enjoy writing about the apocalypse. :P
----------Anyhoo, there's been loads of discussion about the meet up for the midnight thing. I don't know my head from my rear about it at this point. Here then there, there then back to here. I can teleport, so being there isn't the problem, its knowing where to teleport to.
Ah, now coffee. Coffee, coffee, coffee. That is a must. OH and uh, perhaps the occasional smoke break necessity. That's important too.
And about the above, seems like there's good plans in the works, so maybe I get to finally know where my butt actually is. Yippee. Ah, this could be a nice show, ladies and gents.

10:30PM? But we can't start writing until midnight! I may not make it until late, I will be working until 10 or 11 and will probably pick up one or two other NaNos on the way.

I think our ML said something about having planned activities while waiting until midnight in the previous thread.

Heh. Hey guys, sorry about being gone. Work has been a KILLER the past couple days.
Yes, we are having a Halloween Kickoff at the IHOP on Baymeadows
8400 Baymeadows Road
JACKSONVILLE, FL 32256
904-7303571
The conference room is ours starting at 10:30PM until at least 1:30AM. Now if they kick us out and we haven't reached our goals yet, we're moving somewhere else! :D
I do have some pre-writing festivities planned along with eating. There will be lots of that!
As soon as I get the go-ahead from the Higher Ups I'll be sending out a Regional E-mail with more info
Any questions, comments, etc Note me and I'll make sure to get back to you. If I get more than one person asking the same question it'll get chucked into the e-mail.
*does a little happy dance*
Oh yeah! Everybody come in costume. :D It IS Halloween after all!

I'll be getting my costume from Walmart =P That's just about the only store that I go to anymore because I'm so busy with classes during the week and work on the weekend (plus assignments). And I go to Walmart whenever it's time for me to stock up on groceries so that I won't starve to death... I have to have at least three meals a day or I'll die... okay, maybe that's a bit over dramatic but I can eat a lot. So, yeah, back on topic (sorry for the rambling, but it's after 1 AM and I only just got home from work... BAH!!!), I'll be getting my costume from Walmart.

Will they have enough electrical outlets in the conference room? If anything, I'll have my multi-outlet extention cord.

*sighs* Costumes? Heh, that might not be so bad. You're never too old to dress up for Halloween, right? Well even if we're dressing up, we should keep focus hmm? This is about Nano, not dressing up like our inner selves. Still, ha ha, fun fun. (Amused laughter ensues)

Oh...hmm maybe I shouldn't wear my ears either... Ha ha, there's always something to dress up as. Besides, not only cats have cute ears.

No.. do! It'd be awesome to have two kitties ^_^

I like Garbage. I think its because they're a little different, and their sound is a little off beat. My first Garbage song was Cherry Lips. (dances a jig and hums) ^_^

I will be coming in costume, if by costume you mean "I will be coming in from work". I work right around the corner, so that should be fun.

As enjoyable as this sounds, and the thirty minute drive isn't all that bad sadly I'll have to decline.
----------I'll be getting up at 3 20 am to go to work on October 30... I'm on auto pilot by 7 pm and I generally crash at 10 pm... I'll be doing my best to stay up and kick off November at midnight... But I'm not going to put myself on the road. lol.
