Hosted by: BeaJay -- The Wordsmith Wannabe
Held: Monday thru Friday from approximately 11:00 AM until about 12:00 Noon excepting Holidays and Thankgiving Week
At Location: The Starbucks at 20th and 'E' streets, NorthWest
It is on the edge of the GW Campus across 20th Street from Red Cross Headquarters.
Some rough details: I work in the building at 2201 'C' Street. I spend lunch time in the Starbucks working at writing. If I am unable to find an empty table, I go to the Starbucks at 20th and Pennsylvania Ave.
Anyone who is in the neighborhood is welcome to join with me.

I'm doing my grad at the Elliott School, so I might see you a few mornings here and there.
Lord knows I'll need the caffeine :)

I'm the old fogey with salt & pepper hair using the laptop with the "Let Your Imagination Rain" picture on the cover. If you get close enough to see, I have a badge holder, with either Chinese characters or a NaNoWriMo Participant sign, on the outside of my shirt pocket. I am, as well, probably one of the few still wearing short sleeved shirts. I usually sit at the small table next to the drink pickup. Probably during November, I will try to secure the ' Disability ' table because of its size. Barring that, I will try to secure one of the other larger tables.
If you have doubts, just ask. If it's me, that's fine. If it's not me, they will let you know. If their response is inappropriate, consider the source and pay the appropriate amount of attention such sources deserve. The vast majority of the time that means just ignore them and go on about your business.
Another possibility is to just ask the Baristas if Mr Bill is there. At least one of them should know of whom you speak and be able to point me out. That's one of the perks of being a regular who tries to be a nice guy. Nice guys do finish last, but it is just because they are considerate enough to let those who are ' considerationally challenged ' finish ahead of them.

Sorry I've missed all y'all so far. I hope it is going well. I've passed the 3,800 point an am pressing on. I'm past the move to the new apartment and getting into meeting the neighbor that becomes the sidekick. My volume of writing should start picking up at this point.

I will not be there Thanks Giving week. I will, instead, be having personal write-ins at a Starbuck at Bailey's Crossroads, Va and a La Madeleine not far from there. Then there are the Saturday Write-ins at Ballston Common Mall Food Court. I figure I will finish up next week. I will, hopefully, even finish up a day or two early.
Sorry I missed All Y'All at the Starbucks, but such is life.
May your words flow,
Your plot thicken,
Your goals be reached,
And all your NaNo's be complete.
