So, are there any Nashvillians who live closer to the Cool Springs area who want to have meet-ups here instead of trekking all the way to downtown (though it's not terribly far, still quite out of the way, specially for poor college kids who have to use a lot of money for gas already!)

I live on the Southeast side of town, not too far from Cool Springs, I'd be game for some gatherings, or write-ins down there.

Hello,
I live in Franklin and work in Nashville so Cool Springs would be good :)
While waiting for these pages to load I've been wondering why I've signed up, it seems like I all ready have a lot to do for Nov!

Yeah, I live in spring hill, so Coolsprings is a lot closer for me then Nashville. Im up for meeting anywhere. The Starbucks in Barns & Nobles is one of my favorite places to go. I also like Borders.

I think we had at least one meeting, maybe two, at the Starbucks at B&N last year. There's room there, lots of chairs and tables... it's pretty easy to get to, quite a bit of parking

I propose we meet Monday, November 5, or Thursday, November 8, at say 6:30 PM @ Barnes & Nobles in Cool Springs. We count on spending 90 minutes figuring out what we wish to do.
If that does not work, let's try something else?
What say you?

Thursday at that time and place would work best for me, since I work just down the street at the Academy, usually until 6:00 or 7:00. And I really want to get to a meetup this year, since I totally missed out last November.

Thursdays I all ready meet friends for cross-stitching at that time.

Could always do both, I suppose. Show up to whichever one works better?

Yeah, cos I have class *all* bloody day long on Thursdays. :( From 9.30am to 9.30 pm. Boooooo! (I do have a three hour break though, between two classes, and another hour break between the next two...) Sooo, this coming Monday at 6.30pm then?

I can do Thursday at 6:30. I can't do Monday.
Ive never been to a meet-up. What do we do? Just sit around and write?

Nov 1, 2007 - 04 22
I suppose so I haven't been to one either. :)
ok crossing my fingers that I get something written by Monday ;) I should be able to come Monday night if someone wanted to go.

Hey, Abby,
Not sure *I* can make a meetup out there right now. (Life went psycho just before NaNo this time)
BUT, if you'd like to pick a date/time/locale and 'host' one (you know, show up and put a sign on a table), I'd love you for it.
We seem to have a large active group this year, so I'd like to get as many things going across the area as I can.

I can meet there on Thursday (I have to work Monday).

ok Stephen, LadyAbby, and/or Adam
Looks like Mondays work for you? I (crossing fingers nothing weird happens at work) should be able to be at B&N that afternoon. I can make my way to the cafe area around 6 ish or something.
Make a little sign or something that says NaNoWriMo or I'll remember to wear my black cowboy hat with the beaded flower band :p I think it's in the trunk.

Nope. Monday's the day that's out of the question. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I've got school and work from morning to sundown. It's going to have to be on one of those other days for me to have any chance of showing up -- and even then, after six o'clock; again, work.

Hey, guys. This from an outsider. Why don't you just have a regular table there every evening and anyone who can make it...

Nov 4, 2007 - 10 55
LOL yeah sounds like we'll have to try that way so if some parting of the waters occurs we can show up :) I should be there tomorrow though if anyone wants to join me. I haven't written anything this weekend, I've been trying to work on my cousin's scrapbook so I have it done in time.

Tonight at six thirty, I will be sitting in the Barnes and Noble cafe, with a signt that says NANOWRIMO 2007 on it.

Nov 5, 2007 - 16 00
My friend and I are also participating in NanoWriMo, and we'll be there too!
See you then!

well I had hoped to come but after sitting at work with 4 2 year old and a 1 year old in the hallway with mats over our heads singing songs to calm them down and then severe thunderstorms I decided it was best if I just came home :p
I made a little sign too :(
Ah well, next best day for me would be Friday or the weekend. Then next week I can try for another Monday and/or Wednesday.

Alright, that was a bust. No one showed up, and I had a sign too. :( Well, I'm going to organise it this time. I propose we meet there every Monday, Thursday and Saturday morning, whichever will work for people to show up. Monday and Thursdays will be at 6.30pm and Saturday morning at 8am till whenever. Just show up at whichever works for you guys. I'll be there Mondays and Saturday mornings, but I have a night class on Thursdays. I will be there this Saturday morning though, with a sign. Give me your email address via PM if you want to be on the mailing list, and I will send you email reminders the day before to remind you.

Aww I'm sorry! Just after work I didn't want to be stuck in B&N during another tornado warning if there would be one and I hadn't told my husband I'd be going anywhere after work.
Ok I'll try to remember Saturday at 8. I have been getting up earlier so I should make it out there :)

Weather was just too bad for me to get out in it. Lightning strikes within less than a block of my apartment, hail, wind, rotation passing just to the north of me - oh my!

8am is too early for me, so I'll see you guys next week on Monday at 6:30p.m.
Sorry about the no-show, storm was really bad last night.

I could be at B&N's Starbucks on Thursday night (6:30 p.m. at earliest, I imagine) and Saturday morning (not at 8:00 a.m., though...yeesh... more like 10:30 a.m., probably).
I'll slap a NaNo sign on my white iBook.
Looking forward to meeting whoever can be there! =)

I'll be there this Thursday (possibly with my little sister in tow, since she needs to get her word count up, too). I'll try to be there Saturday, too - it depends on how long our meeting runs on Friday night. I'll see you there!
