NaNo Summer Picnic Potluck – Sat. June 27

Jun 27 2009 - 12:30pm
Jun 27 2009 - 4:00pm

The past two summers have seen nano'ers flock to High Park to share sun, stories, food and fun. This year we're relocating the picnic/potluck to the backyard of one of our most notorious writers.

Errol and his family have kindly offered to host the potluck at their home in the Danforth/Greenwood area on Saturday, June 27, from 12:30 to 4:00 p.m. Please RSVP by email to errol(at)elumir.com or on Facebook, and let Errol or me know if you need the location and directions.

NaNo Karaoke Madness – August date TBA

Aug 23 2009 - 6:00pm
Aug 23 2009 - 10:00pm

In case you have to miss the potluck or you just can't get enough NaNo goodness, we're planning a second Toronto NaNo summer event for August. This one will be organized by Mississauga's Ryan Harron.

Ryan says: "After the success of November's NaNoWriMo Karaoke, we were thinking that having another one of those events would be a great way to bring a close to summer and start off the pre-Nano season! Details are still pending, but we'll most likely be returning to XO Karaoke on Bloor [near Christie], and we're looking at August 23 as a date for the event. More details to come later!"

So the half way point has been passed, but there's still plenty of time to write! I will be hosting the next writing session/social at Panera Bread back in 'Sauga.

Panera is a great location, with good seating, free wifi, and lots of outlets. They have the usual coffee and snacks, but they also have great sandwiches, salads, and soups so it's a perfect place to grab a bite of dinner while writing!
