Because advanced planning is your friend (as I have learned the hard way many, many times XD).
As of this moment, I'm planning on holding the kick-off party Thursday, October 30th at Capigiro's in Center City (exact time and address forthcoming). If that's a problem for anyone, let me know here and we'll find a way to work around it.
I also encourage those in the Philly suburbs, who'd have a problem getting to Center City events, to host their own kick-off parties and other events. I'm more than happy to help you set them up. Just set up a thread for your area, get a head-count, and I'll send you some of the ML goodies and whatever else you think might help.
Questions? Comments? Post 'em here!

Yay! I've never made it to a kick off party before. Looks like this is to by my year. Now I just have to find a laptop I can borrow . . .

Don't tempt me with Capigrio's, you evil people. My schedule is so hectic and erratic right now. I'll see what I can do.

I won't be able to make it until after 9... stupid evening class. Or I could do before 12. Or between 3 and 5. I'll try and find some time to drop by.

I'd love to go, but I've never made it to one of the kick-off parties before. Will we be writing together, or just socializing? I just want to know what I should bring...

Just socializing. Can't start writing until November 1st. X3 But we've got some fun, inspiration-kick-starting activities planned.

Has there been a time determined yet? I work a day job until 5:15 but sometimes work nights until 9pm depending on whether or not they schedule me.

Did it happen? I JUST signed up, only moved to Philly a few months ago, and would love to meet other locals on this journey....

It did, but there's still plenty of chances to meet people! =) Check out the Google calender and/or the events thread for write-ins & other parties.
