I would love to get us all together before Nano actually kicks off on November 1st and meet some new people and catch up with old friends. I am thinking perhaps October 25 or 26th, perhaps at a Barnes and Noble or area resturant.
Last year there was a kick off party that I hear was a lot of fun and helped get everyone ready to go.
So, if everyone is up for it I can start putting something together for that weekend.

I'm good if it's not a Sunday. I can't do Sundays.
Hi, Leah! It's Jei! I found purple heels to go with my red ones, did I tell you? :)

No you didnt tell me. I want purple heels too (laughs). Good shoes are a must when writing. Ok so really I need no excuse to go shoe shopping but I create them anyway.
And Saturday works for me. Where do you think for our first meeting? Barnes and Noble or a resturant or heck any suggestions?

I know it sounds crazy Mike. Wait till you hear about the corrests and other stuff worn while we write. (laughs) Hey by Mid-Novemeber we are brain fried and apt to do or try just about anything.
If nothing else we have fun.
Ummm question writng without shoes I can understand, but ummmm now I wonder if there are people who write in the buff? (Ok so I am a bit twisted at times).

Oh, and I should be free that weekend. I will admit that starting on the 1st of November, I will have to rush home on Saturday nights so that I can watch a new series (They took one of my favorite book series and made a TV series out of it.... like I need a new TV obsession!) Anyway, let me know when the pre-Nano meeting is and I'll be there.

Is Friday night better for everyone or even Tuesday night? I am open both nights.
The first of November I will not be in town but will only be gone that weekend so I will not have a problem with the meetings and such the rest of the time.
What ever day works best for everyone is what we will go with.
Both Tuesday and Friday work for me.
Laura how about a weekly Tuesday night meeting at B&N on Rainbow as usual?
We can also work out other meeting dates and such as we go along.

Whenever you want to start the tues nights, just let me know. I am out of town next week, but otherwise I am good... Sat the 25 is big Halloween night, but Friday the 24 is great and then every tues after that would be great at BnN.
Let me know

OK, so I need someone to put just one definitive post out there as to where we are meeting so that I do not get confused. I will anyway, but it will help.

Two options for Friday night Oct. 24th. We can all meet at the barnes and noble on Rainbow (I will post the address later) or do a pot luck type get together at my house which is near Rainbow and Smoke Ranch.
I also know peope live all over town so I can also plan one for Saturday on another side of town if that helps? Just let me know.
And let me know which location for Friday you all like the best and I will go with the majority.

I agree Laura we will set up meetings that can hopefully fit everyone's schedule because as you said we all need each other during the month of November.
I am going to start a thread on where everyone is and what days and times are best for them so we can get the ball rolling.
Laura, I am emailing ya and more than likely giving you a call in a few so we can get things going and still be able to get our writing done too.
It's gonna be fun for ALL

I'm fine with that weekend, but am unavailable on the 25th until after 1:00, and (I'll throw it out there) on the 26th the Southern Nevada Pug Rescue is having their yearly Pug O Rama event, in Summerlin (http://www.rescuepugs.com/ for anyone interested in attending or making an donation), which my rescued pug and I cannot possibly miss... so late afternoon or evening on either night is fine with this two Wrimo household.

Tuesdays and Fridays are good for me if it's a bit later in the evening (around 6 or after) as I work until about 5 p.m. But if anyone has a day in particular set, let me know and I'll see if I can make it!

I live in the far, far away land of Mesquite, but would like to venture in for the meet-n-greet. I'm a newborn baby at this and would love to wallow in blissful misery with others during crunch time.
Just need a definitive location and time... will quell the urge to gamble and drink like a tourist.
Maybe.

mstodden:
We'll be meeting at the Borders (not the Barnes & Noble. We switch between the two, and tonight is Borders) on 2190 North Rainbow in the Best of the West Shopping Center. (Incidentally right by Cold Stone Creamery. MMM!) We'll be meeting at 7:00 PM at the coffee shop. Laura usually has a sign sitting on the table. See you tonight!
