Hi everyone! Again a big thank you to all those who came out last night for dinner and writing.
Weekend write-ins begin next weekend. Since we're quite a spread-out bunch, what I thought might be fair would be one write-in down south (we have wrimos from Osan/Suwon/Cheonan way, so somewhere down there would be good), one somewhere up north (we have wrimos in both Ilsan and Uijeongbu - looking at the subway map, Jongno 3-ga is the intersection between the two but that's still quite a trek) and maybe two more somewhere sort of central - one maybe in Gangnam (plenty of places with power points, and one particular starbucks with an awesome study table we can tape a powerboard to!).
Week One (November 8th) - Preferences? Discuss below!
Week Two (November 15th) - We will be in Busan for retreat but we will try to organise a write-in lateish in the afternoon? This one might be good for Gangnam?
Week Three (November 22nd) - We will have said goodbye to our Busan brethren in the afternoon and riding on our success from the night before keep typing! This one might also be a good idea to keep central, especially if outlying WriMos come to Seoul the night before. Preferences?
Week Four (November 28th) - Preferences? Discuss below!

What kind of a venue do we want for a write-in? A coffee place with free wifi? Someone's apartment/officetel?

Personally, I'd prefer the coffee place if we can get one with outlets. If we can't find one then we try the personal space.

I'm sure any of the college neighborhoods will have plenty of coffee places for us to invade, in that case. I know there are in Sinchon, Kondae, and Anam, at least. In case we wanted to branch out from Itaewon.

I have to go to COEX this weekend anyway so I'd prefer to do Seoul this week. Also, there is a cafe called Coffee in New York where I live near Suwon city hall. It's quite a ways from Seoul and even from the bus stops of the buses from Seoul, but it does have power sockets and wireless internet.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting some of you somewhere on Saturday!

For weekend write-ins, coffee shops with power outlets and possibly internet would be best. Starbucks or independents would be ideal; Coffee Bean outlets don't have plugs any more.

I'm in Suwon and can get to Seoul easy... need directions of course if I'm looking for a specific coffee shop or something.
