I'll be holding two pre-NaNo meetings on Saturday October 17th and Saturday October 24th at Central Library. Exact location in the library and times to be determined, so stay tuned!
The purpose of these meetings is to get to know each other before November, see what we're like when we're fairly normal and not caffeine-addicted, crazy-eyed novelists bashing away at laptops and notebooks. ;)
I just wanted to give you a heads-up now since there seems to be a bit of a problem with sending regional emails for the moment.
I'll be updating with a time and place later this week.

I'm afraid I definately can't come out on October 17th (I'll be busy doing this thing), but once we're clear on the time for the 24th, I'd be happy to come out if I'm free!

I work every Saturday from 1500-2300 (that's 3pm to 11pm for those Non-French, or non-Military, or non-24-hour-clock people ;P )
So as long as it starts before then, I can show up for a bit. Convenient too, as I work in Citi Plaza (formerly Galleria, in case anyone hasn't noticed the change >_> ), so I'll already be at work considering that's where the library is located. Yay locations!

Okay, so for those interested in coming to the prep meetings, they'll be from 1 until whenever in Central library beside the Little Red Roaster. First one is next Saturday (the 17th).

I won't make the first pre-Nano meeting, but I'll be there with bells on for the one on the 24th!

I should be able to make both prep meetings, provided they're both at about 1ish. I won't be staying long, as before I mentioned I work at 3pm, but I'll be there for a solid hour/hour and a half to meet the fellow WriMo participants.
Cheers,
Jero

Yes, they're both at 1. It'll be nice to meet other participants this year!

Thanks everyone who came to the meetup on the 17th! I'm so sorry I wasn't prepared for all of you, haha. I'll be more prepared this week, I promise! So Saturday the 24th, same place and time. And maybe if you're good, there will be some cookies. ;)

Next to the Little Red Roaster right? I was late last time and a librarian said it was on the second floor somewhere yet I saw a group in the back corner near the Roaster. Didn't know if that was it or if everyone had left already.
Didn't want to bumble in so late so missed out.

Yep, that was us you saw in the back corner by the Roaster!
So we'll be meeting again tomorrow (24th) at the same place by Little Red Roaster in Central Library at 1pm. Look for me (dark hair and glasses) with a large laptop that has a viking hat sticker and a Leafs sticker on it. If possible, bring a few dollars to buy something from the Roaster. I think they'd appreciate it. :)
