Write-in at the British Library Cafe
Nov. 21st, 2007 12:48 amFacebook is weird. It doesn't explain anything very well, including how to post an event to just a group. So, in order to reduce confusion, I'm posting this here as well:
Come and write surrounded by words at the British Library Cafe on the Upper Ground Floor. You don't need a Reading Room pass -- just come through the doors, let the nice gentlemen search your bag, go up one flight of stairs and walk around to the cafe. Tuesday, NOV 20th. 5:30 - 7:30pm. Nearest tube: Kings Cross. Plug sockets don't quite abound but are available and food, though pricey, is available as well. The internet is available for a fee -- but you won't have time to look at it, as you'll be boosting your word count!
For cafe information:

For a map to the library:

How to spot me:
There will be signs, and a haggis, and maybe a green monkey as well.
The schedule:
5:30 - 5:45 arrival and greetings
5:45 - 6:30 speedy writing
6:30 - 6:45 break, re-feuling, gossip
6:45 - 7:30 more speedy writing
You don't have to break if you don't want to, but please no gossip allowed during the 45 minute writing periods. Plenty of gossip before and afterwards and in between, though.
If you RSVP, I'll know how many seats to save!
And it is definitely not cancelled, no matter what you might see elsewhere.
