Kick-off Party RSVP's

Hi, everyone!

Well, as you are starting to get comfortable with the new site and forums, I would like to direct your attention to our Google Calendar up there. (If you can't see it, click the blue header that says "Calendar" on this page.)

We have a Kick-Off Party Scheduled!

It will be Saturday, October 29th, 2011 from 2pm until 5pm, or until we get kicked out. The location is still To Be Determined, but it's looking like it will either be my home in Northampton, or a potentially sweet meeting room in an office building just off of Schoenersville Rd and Rte 22. I will of course update the event the moment I have a determination (probably Thursday).

The question is, then...CAN YOU MAKE IT?

Here are a couple important details:

1. 
   Regardless of location there will be goody packets and good conversation. Laptops aren't necessary for this meet-up - it's informational and we'll do a lot of talking.


2. 
   I am asking everyone who can come to bring one blank notebook and one new pen. They can be your favorites, or they can be the ones you bought but then hated once seen in your living room light. They can be 50¢ versions from Dollar Tree or something more swanky. You will leave with a blank notebook and a pen...just not the ones you came with.


3. 
   This event is friendly for all ages! Want to bring your spouse/parent/partner/friend? They're welcome to come! Please just include in your RSVP whether you're bringing a potential NaNo Participant (and if so, encourage them participate in my 2nd point above! (I would request that non-participating children under the age of being able to entertain themselves be left with another caregiver if at all possible.)


4. 
   Check back here for details as things get ironed out. I will update this thread (and the subject) as I have more details. For now, I really would like a head count of who can attend.

Please RSVP in this thread, and be sure to let me know if you're bringing a potential participant as a guest (so I can arrange an appropriate number of packets).

Thanks, and I hope to see a lot of you there!

Hi There,

I am RSVP'ing for me and adding one (my fabulous hubby Dale). His RSVP is tentative, because he doesn't have his schedule for that week yet. See ya at the party!

I don't have my schedule yet but I'll defiantly make it. I'll try to ask off for that day, even though it's a Saturday. :D

I can't make it. Hubby'll be out of town so I have to watch the kiddies.

Unfortunately, I cannot make this one. I work all weekend from Fri-Sun. :(

I'll be moving that day, so I won't be able to make it. Hope everyone has fun!

I am obviously RSVPing.


Kinda hafta be there. Lol

I'm gonna go start a thread about subs.

also I'm going to say I'm probably bringing my poetry-writing friend along...she's not doing nano but she's a fun girl

I am going to try to make this, but I can't guarantee anything...

I'll be there!!

I'm a leaning heavily towards I'll be there.

Oh, bother! I'm helping a friend move that day, so I can't make it. Hope to see you lovely folks at write-ins!

I have a feeling I can't make it. It's a Saturday though, so I don't know why not, but 29th is ringing a bell. =(
The notebook/pen exchange sounds like a fun idea.
It seems that there will be a lot of people coming. Have fun! =D

I will be there, and possibly bringing my teenager as a participant.

I'm in South Korea! So I will not be gracing you with my charming and effervescent presence. ;)

Okay, I finally put it on the calendar & I'm planning to be there. May be bringing the 10-year-old, as he's signed up for YWP again (and he loves to talk to everyone!)

I RSVPed on the Facebook page, then saw that you prefer them here. I will be coming with my husband, Jon. :-)

Change of plans! I (and Chris, my non-Nano-ing SO) will be there after all.

(And hopefully it's not too late to say so!)

Okay, so i am probably gonna be there. Sort of 75% sure.But it's better than nothing!

There is a possibility that I will be attending.
