I thought it'd be fun to get a bit of a roving write-in done!

First, at 7:00, join us at the bloomington Caribou:
7950 Penn Avenue South
Bloomington, MN 55431

Then, at about 9:00/9:15 pack-up and head to the MOA IHOP and do some late-night writing.

Join us at one, or both, and up that word count!

I will definitely be at the Caribou write-in!

I would absolutely love to go to both, but would need a ride to IHOP from Target. Could I get a ride with anyone?

I was just coming to start this thread!

I'll probably not make it to Caribou, but IHOP definitely!

:)

Yeah, I can get home from there, but getting there is the trick.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the ride--I really want to make it to both locations!

Hey, I'd like to join you all tonight! Can someone give me a landmark of the Caribou? I get that it's off 494, west of 35W, but it would be grand if someone could give me an actual landmark store the shop is next to. Isn't there a Target over there?

Ugh, sorry, but I'd appreciate any store landmarks. Or, I just make it to IHOP. I know where that one is!

I've actually never been there, but it's nice and close to the Target, from what I've been told.

The Caribou, I believe, is attached to a Walgreens, a Jimmy Johns, and a few other stores. It's across the street from Southtown, as well as, I believe, a Ford lot--on one side--and a TCF--on the other side. And it's literally yards away from Target.

i'm a landmark kind of girl too, so I hope that helps.

yeah cause the plugs are on the ceiling so if we plug one power strip into the ceiling that will be easier.
