Yuletide Writing Meetups 2018
Do you want to write companionately, have in-person word wars, or commiserate about Bears with other Yuletiders?
Comment here with your general location and whether you want to organize or attend writing meetups!

I'm in Boston, and I'm organizing a weekly/every-other-weekly writing meetup. Currently looking at alternating-ish Saturdays and Sundays in Porter Square and downtown (see below for more info).
Last year, meeting in a coffee/food-type place in Porter Square on Sunday afternoons (~1 or 2pm-ish) worked well for many of us. I know that there are Boston/South Shore-type folks who found Somerville a trek, so please let me know if you know a good location in downtown/etc, so we can alternate between the two. I don't know downtown very well, so I need some help here :)
Please let me know if you'd prefer a non-weekend time, and if you'd be willing to organize those, since I'm not available most weekdays (including weekday evenings).
Please also let me know about any accessibility needs (mobility, public transit, financial, sensory, etc).
Looking forward to it!

Re: Portland OR
The last time we did these locally, we rotated around between various restaurants/pubs/coffee places in the area (Lloyd District, inner Powell, outer southwest); OTOH, I was the only non-driver in that group. With two of the three-so-far in that mode, a suggestion: the Beaverton Powell's is right on a newly 24/7 bus line and within longish walking distance of MAX; in its immediate orbit are a Panera, a New Seasons, and a shiny new food-cart pod with indoor seating. Depending on how folks are geographically distributed, that seems like a potentially useful cluster of meeting spots.
Re: Portland OR
You know that's dangerous, right? XD
I'm SE Portland but I'm okay with spending a couple hours busing there and back.
