Do we need to RSVP for these? I've not been to a Write-in yet. What should I wear? How much should I plan to write?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff--
Welcome to the insanity! I hope we'll get to meet you at the write-in today.
RSVPs are not necessary for most events; we will be sure to let you know if they ever are. Wear what you like, so long as it keeps you warm enough and is suitable for being seen in public.
That whole "how much should you plan to write" question is a tricky one. The write-ins last two hours. We have a Goal Board that we put up, where you realistically evaluate how many words you can pound out and set yourself a goal. Some people set modest goals, some people set outrageous goals. If you surpass the goal you set, you get to ring the goal bell; that's our signal to clap, cheer, and generally make you the center of attention for 10 or 15 seconds. :-)
