I don't care what date is chosen, but I suggest Starbucks get hold of this idea and make it a hit.
They can offer freebees to Kindle-carriers, etc and make it a BIG publicity affair.
BTW, is there anyone out there who is close to a S-bucks in Temecula, California. (I know most people haven't heard of this outpost, but I can count at least 7 Starbucks places here!)

I don't consider the Dallas area wide open spaces!!  Yes, my one experience of driving in the Dallas area, I would agree! L |

It will kind of be like a car meet. People showing it off and talking about the customization, troubles, differences, etc etc etc.

I'm pretty close...but I'm out of town that day. I live in Riverside County. |

This sounds great! I can't wait. We'll probably go to the West Hills SB in the Valley unless any other L.A. folk want to pick something more convenient. I'd love to meet some of folks from the boards and Twitter.

I'm in. And there's only 1 Starbucks here in Granbury, Tx, so if anyone else in town goes, it will be easy to spot them.

Cool! There are several Starbucks in Boise. Any other Kindlers from Boise out there? I'll probably go to the closest one to me unless other Boise Kindlers chime in with a different spot.

There's only one Starbucks in Bastrop, TX (sorry the 5 + hour trip to Wylie is too much, LOL) and I'll be there.

I'm out in the country in the middle of nowhere, Iowa..... nearest Starbucks would be 45 min - 1 hr from here. But..... we have an awesome new coffee shop called Cool Beans in Adel, Iowa that just opened in a new location "on the square" and it is wonderful!! They're only about 15 min from me and have a comfy area with a couch and leather chairs, end tables w/lamps etc and I've been wanting to take MaKK there and get some serious reading time in. They have Wi-fi available too so I could take my laptop and join in with all of you!! DH has been wanting to get some pictures of MaKK and me at Cool Beans so this will be fun.

Wow....that could be hard in Vegas. Just driving the five-six miles to school I pass eight Starbucks. I live across the street from two and a McCafe. Then there are two family owned cafes, two McCafes and a Coffee bean along the same route. (and my mom wonders why i can't kick my caffeine habits)
I was thinking the same thing-but I am off that day, so if other Vegans (is that what we are?) want to got o a certain one, I'll go........ Kristie |

I would love to join you even though that would be a 90 minute drive for me; but since June 06 is DD wedding day, I don't think I'll make it! Everybody be sure to report back from the meet-ups and chat room so I know how much fun you had! |

A book, I think, is very like a little golden door.
That takes me into places where I've never been before.
It leads me into fairyland or countries strange and far.
And, best of all, the golden door always stands ajar. - Adelaide Love

Sounds like an awesome idea! However, I'll be camping at Big Basin Redwoods State Park at the time. I will have my Kindle with me though and there will be Koffee ... of course, I'll probably be having margaritas when I read mine  |

It's a early 30th bday celebration for me...they planned margaritas...now that I found out I'm 4 1/2 weeks pregnant I will be passing on the drinks. I could have a milkshake though.  |
