kick-off party

The party was fun. We all met at a coffee shop, Nina's Cafe, here in St Paul, Minnesota. The back room, which was decent-sized, was full of people and people had to stand and mingle. I enjoyed some nice hot apple cider and blackberry fizzy water along with some pumpkin bread, met up with one of my writing buddies, and met some interesting people, many who had "won" NaNo. The atmosphere was very inspiring. All in all, I think it was a successful kick-off.
