First Annual International Meetup

Hi guys!

First off, I wanted to encourage you guys to keep using the REGIONAL FRIENDING MEME and get to know other members of the community that live near you. I'm already seeing some amazing meet ups planned and that makes me so excited.

You guys rock, you know that?

But if you're like me, your state might be super small or you might live in an area that makes meeting up live and in person hard. Maybe you're a little discouraged that you don't get to meet at a hip and happening coffee hour or frankly? You're just not comfortable doing so.

So. I've thought and thought and came up with this:




I would first, like to apologize for the late notice, but I just came up with it today and wanted to carpe diem! Seize the day. Tonight and tomorrow, I'm going to be hosting an international meet up for absolutely anyone to come into the AIM chat room: NaNoPlotting and just meet and talk and laugh. We will be running absolutely no sprints, so it will be a free for all conversation to just whine, bemoan, plot, plan, and panic and just squee about the joy and insanity that is NaNo.

You are all invited and if you have friends that aren't in this community, tell them to get their butts in the chat (and to join [livejournal.com profile] nanowrimo)

If for some reason, the room is filled, because sometimes AIM can be a jerk like that, just add a 2 at the end of it. NaNoPlotting2 or NaNoPlotting3 and so on and so on.

It'll end when it ends and it'll officially kick off tonight at 7 pm CST and again tomorrow at 8 pm CST. So come, bring your own coffee, and plots are not required!

Hope to see you there!

Okay, assuming you've already got AIM and have a username and all that good stuff... and you're prepared to venture into the 90's with AOL...

1. Sign in
2. Go to Menu -> New Group Chat
3. Enter your username in the box
4. Enter the room name in "chat room"

You should be in :)

yup, got AIM! I missed the internet during the 90s (child of '92 here), and I am quite excited to venture there...

thanks!

I would love to participate! :-D My only concern is that I no longer have an internet connection on my comp. I have the AIM app on my phone, but I don't know if it will let me go to a group chat, which is one of my biggest concerns where it comes to trying to participate in Sprints. :-/
