It's about 8:30pm on Nov 1st, and I'm going to head over to the Fireside Coffee Lodge on Powell in SE. If you're itching to do some writing tonight, you should come out. I'll probably be there for a couple of hours. I have a NaNo sticker on my laptop. Happy Writing!

Great subject line! I've made this post sticky so it will stay at the top of our forum -- post here throughout the month if you're going out for a last minute writing session.

I am currently sitting just to the left of the front door of Coffee Time on NW 21st and Johnson. I have a pastel colored bunny and a Dell laptop with a NaNo sticker on it.

Me? I'm at Coffee Time in the back room. I've got headphones on and I'm probably going to be swearing under my breath. See you.

On campus at PCC Sylvania, in the cafeteria. Just above the Spruce Room on the far wall. I've got a bright pink backpack and a Toshiba laptop with a Nano sticker on it.

I have to get out of my house or I'm never going to get anything written at all!! I'm heading to the Bonfire on SE Stark and 28th; I'll probably be there from 6 to 8-ish if it doesn't get crowded.

If anyone else finds the bar vibe conducive to writing, you should drop by. I'll probably be the only one there with a laptop, so I shouldn't be hard to find. :)

Posted in the Chaos Cafe thread but wanted to post here too just in case - I'm heading to Vino Vixens and will be there in about 15 minutes. $2 wine specials at their happy hour, you can bring your own snacks or buy cheese (or order pizza or whatever), I'll be in one of the back rooms on a fluffy sofa in my black hoodie and glasses. Say hello!

Well, it's only open for another hour, but for anyone who's in the IMMEDIATE area, I'm at the Midland branch of the Multnomah County Library trying to inflate my paltry word count.

I'm at the Spring Creek Coffee House in downtown Milwaukie right now if anyone's looking for company. I'll be here until at least noon. Just look for the person with the white eee pc that has a big NaNoWriMo sticker on it.

Hey there all! I love writing at Tea Chai Te' on NW 23rd and Johnson. I think I'm going to go down there today to write. Anyone interested in meeting up there? Replies to this would be great but FYI I'll be there around 4 or 430. I have a MAC with a sticker that says "STAND FOR PEACE"... OH! and I'll have my beautiful Aussie puppy with me. Hope to see you there!

EDT: I'm still here at Tea Chai Te (6:13) and you all are welcome to join me! ;)

Sitting at Coffee Time on NW 21st near Johnson. I'm in the back at one of the through-wall desk things with my own little lamp. I'm typing on a Dell with an Apple sticker and a NaNo sticker as well as a cup of cocoa and some headphones. Come bug me!

It's noon on Saturday the 15th.

I'm sitting at a table by the window at Fireside. I've got the iBook with the I [typewriter] Nov. sticker.

Should be here a few more hours, but I may have to move to a table closer to an outlet eventually.

I'm at Townshend's tea now. There are a few folks with laptops or notepads... but not sure if anyone is doing a Wrimo.

Come on down if you're in the area.

Hi. It's about 2:10 and I'm at the hollywood library. I will probably go to the coffee shop attached soon because I need coffee. I plan to be here until it closes (probably 5:00 but I'm not really sure) . I don't have anything that says nano on it but I do have my Neo. I also have a bag that's a dark grey.

Anyone have plans for tomorrow?

Heding out to write at Sacred Grounds coffee shop/deli at 9727 NE Sandy Blvd. It's in the same parking lot as the Quality Inn and Rodeway Inn. Free wifi; lots of seating; lots of outlets; good sandwiches and coffee!

Will be there from about 5:30 til closing (8:30 I think). I have a blue Dell laptop. Paula will also be there and she has a white Dell laptop.
