It's true - it's time and it's about to begin, folks. I'll be sending this message out as an email to everyone who lists Prescott as their home region as well so I apologize for a repeat ahead of time.
DAY: Friday, October 10th, 6:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.
LOCATION: A Good Yarn on the corner of Granite and Goodwin in the Firehouse Plaza in downtown Prescott. We've got a comfy classroom with chairs and a large coffee table. There are a couple of outlets around the shop for those who need to plug in their laptops. We can rearrange tables and chairs to accomodate.
DIRECTIONS: Take Gurley Street into town. Turn left on Granite (one block west of Whisky Row). You'll see the parking garage on your left. My shop is straight ahead on the corner and on the same side.
There's an entrance with a wheelchair ramp on Granite St. AND an entrance with a few steps on Goodwin St. The Granite Street entrance will be locked after 6:00 but the Goodwin Street entrance will remain open.
I can make coffee but probably won't until I see how many "regulars" are planning to show up. There's a great coffee shop across from the parking garage called Wild Iris and you can buy your beverage and grab a snack before you come if you want to.
If the space works for everyone, we can hold our write-ins here as well. Let's discuss options this coming Friday. Also on the agenda will be finding story ideas and how to grow them. If you plan to attend, please reply so I can get an approximate head count.

We've got a water cooler with a spigot for hot water so all you need is your favorite tea bags. We also have disposable cups but if you prefer to bring your own ceramic mug, that's fine.
See you Friday evening.

Jeanie, did we want to do another one at some point? Right now I think the very next thing we had planned was the Kick-Off party itself.
Do you need some plotting help, hsmailey? You can also ask on this board and we can see if we can give you some help. :)

No, hsmaily. We're not meeting this Friday. Instead, we're going to the Flagstaff area kick off party on Sunday. Watch for a notice about our own kick off party coming up Sunday, October 26th
