Writing meetups!

[mlravenwrites]

Might be jumping the gun a bit, but here's a post on which to organize meetups!

Comment here with your location and whether you want to organize or just attend a writing meetup.

I'm in the Boston area, and would like to organize a ~bi-weekly writing-and-coffee/tea meet-up. Likely in Cambridge, flexible to Somerville/Watertown/Boston proper/etc, depending on what people want.

Los Angeles, California. Attend. I don't drive so I would like to tentatively suggest somewhere accessible by public transportation. There was a nice meeting downtown a few years back.

Also interested in somewhere transit-accessible if possible!

Thanks for the info! I can't make it but hope people have fun.

I'm also in LA and would also prefer downtown or somewhere metro-accessible. (I've never managed to make it out to one of these, so out of curiosity - do people usually have them at their house or at a public location?)

[rosehiptea]

I think it's usually at a public location. The one I went to before definitely was.

Last year, there was one at the Tom n Tom's in Little Tokyo.

(At least, I think it was a Yuletide one, though it might have been another fannish one.)

would anyone be interested in a Santa Monica meetup? It has a lot of buses and has that new expo train line.

I didn't realize the Expo Line was such a good option. I'd definitely be interested.

Yeah, something via transit there would be great! :)

I like Santa Monica, but every coffee shop I've been to there is the size of a postage stamp. Any suggestions on where we should go that has multiple outlets and that will let a group sit for a few hours?

18th Street Coffee House is spacious. The Coffee Bean on wilshire is also a good option.

Thanks! We'll have to do one of those next.

[franzeska]

Okay, I'm doing one since I haven't seen any mention of one.

Thank you! I can't be there because I work this Sunday but I hope a lot of people come.
