THE PARTHENON has graciously allowed us space.
There are a few rules associated with this.
1. NO FOOD, NO DRINKS, (and yes, water is a drink), NO CANDY OR GUM
2. NO BACKPACKS ETC. So laptop and that's it.
Those who want to join the write in need to be there by 9:15 so that you can be admitted with the group - they have asked that we all go in together.
Anyone who comes seriously late: I will make no guarantee that you can get your admission waved. If you don't come in with me, be prepared to pay $6/adult or $3.50/student. In fact, I am telling them that anyone that gets there after 10 (unless you clear this with me first) has to pay.
For those interested. I am a Docent there (which is probably the only reason I got to do a write in there, and also why I can get you in without paying), so if you're interested in a tour of the building, I will do a tour after the write in (So sometime around 12-12:30). If you would like to come just for the tour, you may, but please remember that you will pay admission if you chose this route.
With that said, who's in?

Count me in.
But I am working late Friday night, and I NEVER work at night. I'm filling in at my old job for somebody who had a death in the family.
So if I don't show, I'm asleep. But I plan to come.

My goal is to be there @ 9:00 a.m., waiting for ya. ;o)
So... I'm a diabetic, and I have to have stuff w/ me in case of low blood sugar. I'll just bring glucose tablets. They aren't messy. Hoping I won't need them!! (I'll carb up and caffeinate before I get there.)
Is there a water fountain in the building somewhere?
Thanks for hostessing this, fly. It's going to be an inspirational locale and a fun time. Write? Write!! ;o)

I will soo be there. So will the rest of my family. Soo... four people, one writer. My dad says if you want he can take group photos of us....... he's an amateur photographer. yayness.
----------Athens is really just a big typo. Y'see, "s" is right next to "a" on the keyboard. They meant to name it Athena, but the secretary wasn't a very good typist.

First off, cameras are definately allowed upstairs where Athena is (they're not allowed in the lower art galleries).
I take that back since you have your PMs turned off... Elaine, if you bring a bottle of water only, only, only for medication purposes and leave it closed and in your purse unless you really need it, it won't be a problem. They've let other people do it, too.

I am 90% sure that I'll be there and I'll be bringing a fellow NaNo'er from the Detroit region with me! We may not be able to show up until closer to 10AM, but would likely be able to stay for the tour.

I'll be there for the writing, but I'll have to leave before the tour. I'm excited about getting to hang out with Minerva, though!
EDIT: I think my husband has an abscessed tooth (of course, it's the one we had to pay loads of money to put an expensive crown on just over a year ago). We've called our dentist and hubby has been prescribed pain killers, but he needs adult supervision because he has a history of panic attacks, so I'll have to write next to a loopy hubby instead of at the feet of dear Minerva.

Man, I'd love to be there, but you know you're doing this pretty much the exact hours I work, right? Why couldn't it have been the next Saturday? I somehow managed to offer the right sacrifices to the right gods, because I have that Saturday unexpectedly off. Oh, well, maybe next time.

Since I desperately need to churn out some words, I will be there; two or three hours dedicated to nothing but writing will be good for me, and what a setting! Looking forward to it. Echoing the question of chargability that some have mentioned... I can bring a power strip if need be.
