Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
I'll probably be snuggled up at Caribou tonight after 6pm, if anyone else wants to stop by. I know we don't have anything scheduled, but I want to get out of the apartment and get some writing done.
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
I might stop by there Saturday after the Woodridge write-in. I'm gonna miss around half of the write in so it's a good opportunity for catchup.
A bit worried about finding a seat by an outlet there on a Saturday, though...
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
The guy at the counter tonight says they're pretty packed Saturdays and Sundays... though Fridays are nice and quiet because all the college kids are seeking entertainment elsewhere. :P
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
Rumor has it that there will be two prizes to be given away to word war champions at the Caribou meetup tomorrow. ;)
What are they? Well, that would be spoiling the fun...
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
I will probably be there tonight. :) Probably. Depends on how much I start freaking out about this paper with the same deadline as my NaNo. :< But it would be nice to work on something other than schoolwork again...
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
I'll be there tonight (definitely need some incentive to write rather than fiddle with buddy word count graphs (getting oh so close to making these work)). I might bring a plot critter or two to contribute to the prizes.
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
If you're not familiar with the location, it's JUST south of the tracks. I usually park in the parking garage (which is also south of the tracks). It's a fairly short jaunt from the garage to the Caribou.
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
Thanks, Becky. Your avatar has a kind of a worried expression, so I guess you know about my lack of a navigation gene ;-)
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
If you knew the character, it's not so much "worried" as "mentally absent."
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
It's the last Tuesday Caribou to write before the big Three-Oh, so let's make this big!
I may or may not have one more Word Warrior to give away during a word war. ;)
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
So for any who are interested, Paula (catatone1) and I were talking about continuing to have our Tuesday write-ins on a bimonthly basis at the Caribou in downtown Downers Grove. If anyone is interested in weekly, we could do that too on the stipulation that we might not always have everyone there. So for those who are interested, feel free to post dates that you would like to do this. I'm available pretty much whenever, so just post dates, and I'll be there at least. Also Becky (Sapphire) says she'll probably be there too.




Anyway, here are the pictures I took at the write-in on 12/29. If you want to see the full sized pictures (which are crazy huge, since I didn't do any maintenance after copying them from my cellphone), you can copy the link location and visit it, or just Save As.

Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
Thanks for sharing, Joe!
I guess we need to wait for Paula to post hers too!
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
I would totally love to keep meeting up on a regular basis, though after January 17th I'll have classes on Tuesday nights. So I can keep coming until mid-January at least. :)
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
Joe says he's going to be at Caribou tomorrow; I'll be following suit after I get off of work. :)
I think I might bring a book of writing prompts that I have as a just in case sort of thing. I'm sure something could be worked out date/time-wise to be sure as many people as possible can make it. :)
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
Are we still meeting? I missed out last week due to illness on my part.
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
:( with traffic and everything I won't make it tonight anyway...
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
Yeah, Becky and I have still been going every week. Becky's editing one of her previous novels, and I've been outlining one I'd like to try in the future. So we'll keep going for the foreseeable future. =)
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
Okay. Hopefully (read: if I can avoid deadlocked traffic and hubby aggro) I will be there next week.
Re: Downers Grove Caribou Write-Ins
By the way, for anyone who's interested, we are moving the write-ins from Tuesdays at 6:30 to Sundays at 5:30.
