If we were to hold a regular day/night/time for write ins and meet ups, what is everyone's favorite?
We've always had the best luck with official Sunday meet ups, like 10a-3p (people come and go as they please, and all end times are pure speculation of course) but if you all like Saturday or even Tuesdays better, we can be flexible about it.
Meet ups - let's aim for a week night (M-F) and after the 9-5p range for those of you working routine hours. (I'm a graveyarder, but I'll wake up early out of CT North love)
If you have a regular conflict, throw it out there, otherwise I'll have to be autocratic about it, and that's so not me.... or is it?

My days off are Mon-Tue, so anytime then is good for me (but would prefer afternoon or evening). The rest of the week it would have to be during the day, as I work nights (the earliest my shift starts is 2pm, so doing a 10-3 on Sundays is fine as long as I leave by 1).

In all honesty, weekends are best for me. Saturdays and Sundays, so if you wanted to do the 10a to 3p type thing on a weekend, that would work very well for me. (Because while yes, I do live in the CT North area and want to actively participate if I can, I go to school during the week down on the shoreline and am down at school during the week but at home on the weekends)

Totally not an either - or, I'm looking to find a weekend day, and a week day, so we can get the most people out there to have fun as possible.

The Sunday time would work for me, but those are pretty much the only hours I'm available that day. I have all of Saturday free and most weeknights with the exception of Tue. I'd love to be able to participate in the meet ups...

Ah, you're a third-shifter. That explains the 9 am Meetups.
I work 8-4 Mon-Fri. My other half is in retail, so she works all different hours.
Generally speaking, we prefer weekend Meetups. However, this one does not involve much in the way of martinis, wine, or tequila, I'd wager. So that leaves more leeway.
So I guess I/we are more of a "catch as catch can" sort of situation. Aren't I helpful?

Sundays are great for me. My husband is a football fan, and I detest the sound of it on in the house. I'm always eager to get away from it during the fall!

Also. I'm teaching a T/R schedule this fall, so MWF mornings are good for me, too. Actually, I'm counting on getting a lot of words in those days.

Weekday daytime hours are good for me, I'd probably be much more likely to go to a weekday daytime write in, official or unofficial, just because that's when I'm most productive. (Though I will not rule out a weekend daytime at all.) Once the sun sets... unspeakable horrors! ;)

Uh oh Chikken, we'll remember to keep our guard up. Be prepared folks - e-mail goes out tonight with a full meet up schedule!
(I can accomplish a lot more when I'm not downing the nyquil)

I'm out of town a lot on weekends, but I'll be able to make a few of them.
And anytime after 3:00 is best for me. Silly high school.
