All right guys, here it is, all the dirt and info about the midnight kickoff party!
When: 10:00pm-whenever, October 31st-November 1st
Where: Sabrina's place
3700 E Jewell Ave #210 (Buzzer entry code: 2010)
Denver, CO, 80210
(It's right across the street from the IMAX movie theater, Dave&Busters, and the Colorado Center lightrail and RTD station...basically, turn towards the Perkins and it's the apartment complex right next door. Contact me for directions clarification)
What to bring: Writing stuff (I'll provide extra power strips, the WiFi code, and whatnot), any favorite seating things in case we run out of room and you don't want to sit on the floor, and food or drink of some kind to share with everyone, potluck style. I'll have goodie bags for everyone, lots of chairs and a futon, tables, plates, cups, and silverware, and some delicious surprise snacks from The Chocolate Berry, too, so be prepared!
Basic rules: Be nice, no fighting, surrender your keys upon entry if you plan on drinking alcohol (I'd prefer you guys not die, thanks), and don't traumatize the parakeets any more than they normally are, please! ^_^. Other than that, have a blast!
If you are planning on coming, please RSVP here, and let me know of any guests you might be bringing as well. I just want to make sure I get enough goodie bags made for everyone!

That doesn't sound too far from me so I'll come if I can. Mostly likely count me in. I've been wanting to meet new people for quite some time. You can also count on me being a sober one there. I don't drink any alcohol whatsoever.

Though- I'll be moving in mid-month to another state. Can I still be a part of CO region for NaNo? ;)

I'll be there, with my friend Julia. And probably still in costume, because we're totally going trick-or-treating. (Yes, we are nineteen and eighteen, what's your point?) And you don't need to worry about my keys - I am sadly only allowed to drink in the UK.

I'm planning on coming. And I'll be in costume too. I might bring a friend, but I'll let you know if she's coming or not sometime this week.
I can make some kick ass salsa for the group if you guys would like. I can make mild, medium, hot, or felony hot depending on what people like.

Felony hot? Yikes. Please if you bring that make one that isn't so hot. I could probably handle hot. If you need extra chips I'll buy those. I'm really not sure what to bring besides drinks. I'll be bringing soda if I bring drinks since I'm a non-alcohol drinker. Though sometimes I do enjoy a Mike's Hard Lemonade but very rarely and usually only one with company.

What's the latest we could RSVP? Sadly my coming or not will probably depend on how much I can keep my gas expenditure down this month, so I probably wouldn't know until the 27th or so. (Although gas prices are dropping, woo hoo!)

I'm planning on coming! I may be a bit late. I'm hoping to bring some chili - cold night and all that, ya know? But it's not your normal, every day kind of chili. Oh, no, I have to be all fancy schmancy. LOL. I make a rather divine (if I do say so myself LOL) Turkey, Pumpkin and Black Bean chili that sounds weird but is really quite yummerific. :-) I've lately been making it on Halloween anyway so that the kids have a good, hot dinner when we get back from ToTing. I'll just make a double batch. :-)
Let me know if y'all need anything else!

Salsa wouldbe excellenet, as would chips and soda sine I have neither at my place! And yummy, the chilli sounds awesome as well! Really, guys, anythin gyou bring? Will likely get eaten ^_^.
You can RSVP as late as...hmmm...let's say three days beforehand, so October 28th. That way if I get a bunch of last-minute people coming, I'll still have time to put together more goodie bags. Sound good?

That sounds *channeling Mr. Burns* eeexxcellent. I will definitely know if I can make it by the 28th. Thanks!

Man, this sounds great. Too bad I'll be 1800 miles away :( . But we will be trick or treating in Disney World, so that takes a litle of the sting away (but not much lol). I really wanted to go to this years kick-off party since I couldn't go last year either.. Hopefully I'll at least get to write in FLA, but probably won't since my wife has us pretty busy taking our son to every theme park in southern florida lol. Have fun folks and hope to see some of you at the write=-ins through the month.

I can drive now, too (finally!) so no more trying to bum rides off of people! Hooray!

All right, so right now I have about 17 people coming (assuming every single person who has RSVP'd makes it). A reminder to the rest of you guys that you have exactly 2 weeks to RSVP to this! Let me know by then ^_^.

My first year in Denver after spending nearly 4 years in FoCo *sniff*....
Well since, it's a Friday night, I can make it.
Yay for something to do during the month of November!

I'm coming!
Fifty dollars for a Halloween Costume? I'll pass. Besides, I'd rather write anyway.. and it'll probably snow, like it always does.
I'll bring cupcakes.. or a fruit dish.. or something. ^_^;

One more week left to RSVP! (Well...fifteen days, fine >P ) We've got something like 21 people coming right now if everyone is able to make it which is already more than last year, so let's see how many MORE people we can cram into my little place, shall we? (Incidentally, if you don't want to sit on the floor, you may want to bring a chair or cushion or something, I only have chairs for about 13 of us ^_^.;; )
Remember to be ready to bring a snack or drink item, please, and I'll be back in a week to see who all is coming!

Oh, I so wanna try to go if I can get a ride/ hop on the light rail. *is only in possession of a permit not a license* I can whip up a totally awesome hoho cake, I don't know if it actually tastes like a hoho, but it's really good either way. I'll also bring soda since I've still got five years to go before I hit legal drinking age.
Put me down as a tentative yes/ definitely maybe ^_^

oct. 21, 2008 - 21 05
Sound great! If you do take the light rail, send me a private NaNoMail and I'll get you more specific directions from there (it's only about a block and a half away, but still!)

Whethergal and I will definitely be TRYING to make it. It all depends on the weather and if i can get the kids to bed, or bribe the teenager to babysit for the night! Oh, and if I actually have to make it to school at 9 on Nov 1. I'll be checking into that this week, but would love to hang out with everyone.

My friend and I might come, but we have Halloween parties and such before hand, and I don't know how drunk he'll be/how much he'll want to come. And I don't know if I want to come by myself because, although I'm not really shy, I'm paranoid about being in Denver alone, at night, on a popular drinking night.

Well, shadowgirl, I know at least two other people from Arvada are coming up...maybe they'd be willing to do the ride thing with you if your friend can't come! (And at the party itself you wouldn't be alone, either, because hey, lots of crazy NaNo-ers in one apartment with five fragile and easily traumatized parakeets! What more could you want in company?)

Haha, that could be fun. It's not like I can't take of myself or anything, but safety is always greater in numbers. Who all is from Arvada that is coming up? (I could easily look through and determine, but now I'm writing this comment and I'm too lazy to open another window). Perhaps I shall get in touch with people when I figure out whether or not my friend wants to come with me or whether he wants to be a "poopy head."
