November first is fast approaching and I'd like to kick off NaNoWriMo right: with a massive write-in! We have a location if we'd like to do a midnight write-in, but I don't know how eager y'all are for that sort of thing.
So, I'd like to hear your opinions: would you rather have a kickoff write-in at the stroke of midnight, as NaNoWriMo starts, or a little later on Sunday afternoon?

Nice number.
I would prefer a midnight write-in. My shift is over at 10, which would give me time to eat and drive to the location. I will probably be working on Sunday and wouldn't get to come that afternoon, and I want to get started ASAP.

if we did it at midnight, where would we meet up? it would limit our choices, right?

Ben has gotten permission for us to host our midnight kickoff in the clubhouse at his apartment complex. We would have to bring our own food and drink, but would have a large private lounge to work in.

Midnight! I can't wait to get a move on this thing. Food and drinks aren't a problem, we can treat it like a potluck.

It's probably not fair for me to weigh in on this since I doubt I'll have a ride to get to a write-in no matter when it's done, but I'd rather do it in the afternoon myself.

I'll be coming back from a show at the Cobb Galleria. How long do you guys think you'll be going at it? I might be back in town around 1 am or so.

Unfortunately I've come down with some kind of virus over the past couple days, so I won't be there tonight. Have fun though! I'll be there in spirit.
