Hi everyone,

The idea of a chat write in was good, but I also fear that I will be too distracted because of the chat. I have found a wonderful location to have a Midnight Write-in

Location: Denny's at South Keys (2208 Bank St)
Time: 11pm to 2am (which equals 4 hours because of time change)

Advantages:

  • Free Parking and lots of it
  • Free WiFi
  • Power Outlets (I'll bring extensions)
  • Large restaurant and not busy (Open 24 hrs)
  • Coffee, food... and company.

Please let me know by responding here, so I can have an idea of how many will come.

Ohh, that sounds like fun!
And, do you mean from 11pm to 2am (4 hours)? Or did you want to write until 2pm in the afternoon?

I might be coming, but it all depends if the 97 will still be running once the write-ins over...

I could make the Denny's write-in. I have to drive in from Morrisburg, so South Keys is really easy for me to get to and I'm sure at that late hour they won't mind us sitting around drinking coffee and munching on goodies. What time is it to start?

Ah. yes. This weekend is Daylight savings time, so at 2am you set your clock back to 1 am and get to do that hour over again.

Hi there.

I take the Bus also. I have checked with OCTranspo and it seems that they are not taking into account the time change, which means that the last run will be at 1:46 AM, leaving from South Keys, (listed as 2:46 on the site).

Denny's was quite receptive to the idea of us gathering there.

Hi Everyone

I'm so excited about NaNo beginning tonight. Can't wait to meet all of you.

Anyone going to join us there? Reservations made and there is plenty of room and coffee

Ha, what a coincidence, I was planning to go write there anyway since it's just across the street from home. Guess I'll be seeing you guys there!

I'll probably be there 11:30ish. Please ask your server to prepare a pot of coffee and an IV.

I will be heading out fairly soon to get some extension cords and to be there a few minutes before 11.

I will be wearing a Purple T-Shirt and Grey Mickey Mouse hoodie.

Looking forward to meeting all of you.

A friend of mine that just joined NaNo today will also be coming. YAY!!
