S. CA Meet-up!

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Passing on this message from Megan Whalen Turner.

Christmas is coming and I could really use a latte. Is there anyone in the San Diego area who might like to meet up at Mysterious Galaxy bookstore which has a conveniently located Starbucks next door?

Megan

Sounds like a good time to get those books signed.

I highly recommend the Gingerbread latte--it's only out this time of year.

Gingerbread latte? Blech.

No, no, they're really good! Esp if you need a sugar high, too. Like drinking a piece of gingerbread. Yum.

Caramel brulee? That's a new flavor.

Ok, fine. Stick to the high-octane regular stuff. That makes for a rousing, high-speed discussion of many topics.

Well, I'll be there, if it doesn't conflict with mandatory Christmas family stuff (decorating day is already over..).

When are we talking?

[bookaddict88.livejournal.com]

Hmm, it's just a bit far, but maybe I could turn it into a day down in San Diego! Depends on when, I suppose, since I don't get back to CA for almost another week, and then I have a bunch of Christmas stuff.

[freenarnian.livejournal.com]

Ditto. Worst latte I've ever had.

Your icon just winked at me!

All dates are pretty much the same to me. We could do it Sunday, December 20, if you like. Understand, the poor people at Mysterious Galaxy are in the dark and I don't know that they could get the books in even if we gave them a heads-up. If it is better to get together after the Christmas rush, that's okay, too.

is that supposed to be a cartoon version of Sulu, d'you think? because I am not sure I can handle a cartoon Sulu winking at me.

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

I dunno, jade, I kinda liked it.

WHAT THE WHAT WHAT WAS THAT

I want a gingerbread...oh wait it's a latte. Nevermind. Hot chocolate for me.

[drashizu.livejournal.com]

Can it be between Dec. 19 and Jan. 17 but not within a few days of Christmas please? I'm coming home around then and I'll probably be able to drive out to San Diego one day, but not around Christmas. Early January is much better.

Emerald, I'll be drinking hot chocolate too! I can't handle coffee.

Which reminds me that I had delicious pumpkin pie and eggnog ice cream yesterday that was really really good. mmmmmm....

Didn't I tell you guys Oswego Illinois is the loneliest place on earth for a QT fan?

Well enjoy your lattes! And gingerbread! And take LOTS of pictures/ I'll be at home...with my french vanilla reading and re-reading :P Unless someone sends me a plane/train ticket...?(I'm not picky) :D

That's it. I have to move to California. Right after I finish my paper on "Troilus and Cressida." Because that will happen any time now. (It's fun to use short sentances. Especially when you are used to stretching everything you write. Because of professors' page counts.)

hey! no it's not! there are plenty of people chilling around the midwest. I wonder if there's enough for a Chicago or Indy meetup (also, Indy meet up means John Green stalking, just saying).

[elle-winters.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding me Jade? Have you BEEN to Oswego. It's all corn. Not even kidding. Plus no mwt "[

John Green stalking?! Haha. I'd be down for that though :]

[jade-sabre-301.livejournal.com]

well, I've been to Aurora, which appears to be close by. And I have to drive up 31 to get to my school, which is also nothing but corn with no MWT. *sadface*

hm. we should put out feelers. or something.

i think you should come here, to new york. i would even give you butter tablet.

your friend, sdn

Re: dear megan:

[inkasrain.livejournal.com]

I second this! I mean, I don't know what butter tablets are. But I'd give you a New York latte! Or a big apple. Or both.

[elle-winters.livejournal.com]

Yea, we get corn and no mwt..how fair is that? *pouts*

on the other hand
I drive on 31 ALL THE TIME!!!! To get to the library!! :D It's a bit far but where's your school?

[jade-sabre-301.livejournal.com]

I'm actually in Indiana, not Illinois, so it might be a different 31. I go to Notre Dame. :-)
