Also, if you're bringing a friend, then tell us. We should probably have a count of how many of us will be there.

I think Daylight Savings time starts on sunday too, so don't forget to set your clocks. I'll probably get there close to noon, depends where I am that morning...

Question - how will we know it's us? Will it just be a group of teenagers? (That's not very helpful in Uptown Park Ridge, just saying...) Perhaps a giant sign with NANOWRIMO '09!!!!! is in order. Lol xD

Okay, I'll stand outside the library with a banner. Happy? Kidding, probably not a banner, but I'll write something up and hold it. It won't be to hard to find. Just look for someone who would be crazy enough to write 50k in a month.

Oh my god, I'm actually awake and not late! I'll bring a small sign or something too, just in case I'm the first one there.

Sigh, I just can't seem to make this work. If we're talking about the same place, the conference room seems to be person-less. I'm sitting in a table by the stairs to the YA loft. Black sweatshirt, hat, laptop, confused expression. I'm sure you'd see me if you looked out the window. I feel like such a lost kid, haha.

I've left, but if you do go up to the YA loft there is a door in the back that says something like exit or staff entrance. Go through that and continue until you see a closed door with a plaque on it. Enter. You will probably see a group there. I had to leave earlier than I thought.

We're trying to get one planned for the week after next, I'm out of town next week. I don't know about you, but I'm usually open on friday nights, perhaps a small impromptu write-in/meet-up? Just throwing out ideas.

Yeah, that works for me, at least that's the standpoint from the present moment. I'll see what I can do.

Sorry bout that Crazy, the place we were at was a little secluded, but the next time we'll be better prepared. So I was thinking for the next write-in we could do the 21st, since Mustardgirl and i_love_nutmeg aren't going to be there. Of course, we could set up a small one on Friday the 6th if anyone would go. Opinions?

Friday the 6th is totally open for me. Anywhere is fine, Des Plaines library, Park Ridge library, some random Starbucks, doesn't matter.
----------Let's keep in mind that most of us are coming from Park Ridge, as well as times.
School lets out for Maine South at 3:15, so I wouldn't start a write-in until at least 4:00. Of course, it's anyone's opinion or time options.
Suggestions?

Honestly, the conference room in the library worked out great. I think we should do that again.

I might, but maybe not. I have a field trip tomorrow. We'll make sure that everyone's there this time. Although, by the looks of it, Lily won't make it...hopefully she checks sometime tomorrow.
