Capitol Hill!

I am a bit jealous the lucky Capitol Hill people get easier access to the Hugo House write-ins! I plan on going, but two buses to get there is kind of annoying. :-)

yes, where/when would we have write-ins?

I don't live on Cap Hill but I go to school there :D. Well, sorta. HNA.

I'm always up for Cap Hill write-ins.

I suggest Online Coffee (http://www.onlinecoffeeco.com/) as a good place for write-ins on the hill. Someone should grab the lead on this one. I can't run Cap Hill ones this year, lack of transportation, but I love Online Coffee and the don't care if there's a bunch of writers huddled in the corner.

Hi! I am up here on the hill too and would love to get together for some writing time...

I'm a quick bus-ride away from the Hill so I could make some write-ins here, just not on Wednesdays or Thursdays.

I'm on capitol hill a lot. And I know of one other NaNo'er who I just got to sign up. Perhaps we could get a midnight write-in planned for the 31 somewhere?

Hi, I also live on Capitol Hill and would love to meet up for regular write-ups. Are there gatherings at Hugo House?

I am going to a Halloween party Saturday night, though, so I might miss the first few hours of Nov. 1 :]

I can make write-ins on Cap Hill Mon, Wed and Fri (Tues and Thurs are reserved for the Southcenter ones Renda's organized) and I can't make weekends (again, Sunday is a Southcenter area write-in).

I work downtown so it'd be easy as pie to shoot up the Hill and go to one. Can someone familiar with the cafes on Cap Hill organize something? It's been a long time since I've lived up there. I used to dig Bauhaus and I know they've got lots of tables on their upper floor.

Hugo House is holding a free write-in on Nov 1 from 1-5. Hugo House is located at 1634 11th Ave, right across from Cal Anderson Park. Plus: Free Coffee :)

I am all over this. Second time through, failed out after 5 days last time (got behind and freaked out about lame plot). As long as there are some write-ins on weekends or after work hours, I am THERE.

cheers to all, Tricia

Shoot, I might have to try to attend. I've never been to Hugo House & I'll still be completely jazzed by candy on Sunday.

Bauhaus or Top Pot would be ok. Or Caffe Vita. Or Faire. So many places.

BLUBBERISH

I never go to Top Pot when I can't sit outside, because their music is so loud. Pity, because I'm a sucker for doughnuts.

I was thinking of checking out Espresso Vivace on Broadway (their old location was sort of loud, but I think that was because of high ceilings, which might not be a problem in their new digs). If they're not too noisy, they might be a good location: they're nice and spacious, and come to think of it, don't they have a (potentially reservable, possibly quieter) back room? Will look into that when I have a chance, if there's interest. I wasn't planning on actually organizing any write-ins when I started writing this post, but who knows? NaNo does funny things to you, I'm starting to realize.

Any interest in middle-of-the-day write-ins, while I'm at it? I freelance, so my schedule is what I make it, most of the time, and daytime hours are likely the least crowded for cafes.

Yup. I'm in Capitol Hill.

Nice to meet you, neighbors!

The last few times I've been to Vivace there wireless wasn't working (I'm on a Mac) & they didn't seem to care enough to fix it. Just a warning.

My recommendations are Victrola (Pike), a lot of open space during the day. Also, Six Arms is completely empty, they have wireless & cheap happy hour drinks & food! I will most likely be spending most of my time here.

Go Capitol Hill Nanos!

I used to go to HNA! :D Graduated a year and a half ago. It's an awesome school.

Hi there,

Sorry, I'm new, but I have a question -- we aren't able to have write-ins on Capitol Hill on Tuesdays and Thursdays b/c of the official ones being held in Tukwila on those nights? Is this a hard and fast rule? For some of us, Tukwila is a good 20 miles away, which speaking for myself is a little difficult to make on a weeknight when you work full time, have kids, etc. . . It would be great to have something a little closer to home . . .

Tuesday_Woman, I'm not sure if you're replying to my earlier post when I mentioned the Tukwila write-ins, but to answer your question, multiple write-ins can and do occur in many locations on the same day/evening. I only mentioned the Tukwila ones because I'm going to those as I live in the Burien area and my bus goes right to Southcenter. I used to live on Capitol Hill, not too far from Hugo House actually, so I most definitely want to make it up there at least once, probably the Halfway party and write-in Renda is hostessing on 11/15.

Hello O_Turtle and others--

I think Six Arms sounds like a good idea--v. atmospheric and with snacks. Any interest in a weekend afternoon (Sunday?) write-in? I'm horribly behind and need to play catch-up. I'm not ready to give up!

Best to all,

Tricia

PS--Anyone up for a Veteran's Day afternoon write-in?? I'm off of work and I suspect others might be as well.

Aaand sorry for the double post.

PS--I have written some of my "novel", just in longhand so it's not uploaded yet. (my word counter makes me sad)

Yes yes yes! I go to Capitol Hill alllll the time. Also, I'm taking a year off from college and all my friends are in other states/too busy to talk to me. So meeting new people could be nice :)

Write-ins attended: Hugo House, Tukwila Barnes&Noble, Online Coffee Co. on Capitol Hill, Downtown Library, Westlake Center
Record # of words in one day: 6606
# of times I haven't slept in 24+ hours: 4

I think a Six Arms write-in would be wonderful!

What days/times works best for everyone?

I am usually off by 1:30 at the latest during the week/end....

This Sunday may be difficult for me but I will know for sure by tonight.

Also, if you message me your email address, I can send a group email out or something of that nature to those interested.

:]

I'd be happy to give Six Arms a try as well. Thanks for stepping up, boggit/Tricia! My Sunday is clear, so schedule away.

I'm also free in the afternoon next Wednesday, Nov. 11.

Looking forward to meeting more Hill writers!

By the way, boggit, I also write long-hand. Luckily I happen to love counting my words--it makes me feel so productive.

In addition to the Six Arms Sunday [that sounds like it is being planned], would anyone have any interest in:

1. Monday Evenings, 7-9pm @ Online Coffee [the 14th and Pine location]
2. Thursday 19th, 6:30p-9pm @ either Vivace [on Broadway] or Kamadi Bros [on Pike]

I'd also suggest something for Saturday mornings, but I don't know how many I could realistically show up to.

Just a thought-- doesn't Vivace have a quiet room set off from the rest of the cafe? I remember that from their old location, and their new space is very similar in layout.

Justin - I work at that Online Coffee location! I don't work there on Mondays, though.
For those who haven't been to the 14th & Pine location has a lot of table space and it's pretty huge!

Mioche - There is a back room at Vivace.

Also for Sunday the official time is at 3 til 6-7ish?
I will try to add this to the calendar but could use whoever is interested to message me with their emails and stuff so I can give full details.
