Congratulations Megan - maybe if this is a good positive day for kindle and koffee we'll do another one later!
Have a nice wedding!
Thanks! And I'd definitely join up for another Kindle & Koffee day! |

It will kind of be like a car meet. People showing it off and talking about the customization, troubles, differences, etc etc etc.
What a concept! If it truly took that route, 20 years from now we'll be showing off our old B&W Kindle 1 & 2s to the young 'uns. |

Unbelievable. Almost every Saturday I have my K2 at Starbucks for about 30 minutes (I have to get to "that side of the river" by a certain time to avoid bridge traffic, but it's too early to go to work); they choose the ONE weekend my cousin is getting married to have this gathering. I'll be on the Garden State Parkway waving.

...then erase out the little spellcheck wavy lines that are under "Koffee" and "am." Save it that way and then print... Thanks, Kathy! I cleaned up the spellcheck lines in the graphic, so that'll save a step for people who follow your excellent instructions! |

Anybody planning to be at the Starbucks in Wylie, TX?  I was going to hit the one at Firewheel on 78 but I can easily go to the one in Wylie. I'm in Sachse, TX. We definitely need to have a Kindle meet-up! |

I am totally in. I was trying to figure out what I would be doing on that Saturday! Normally I am at the bowling alley with the kids. My daughter is in a league there, but this is her last week! I will be at the SBX on Atlantic and 3rd in Atlantic Beach, FL. There are two there actually, across the street from each other. I will put up signs @ both and run back and forth! Hubby will even be home to watch the kids! Woo Hoo!

Sorry for being one of the "technically challenged"..... but for the chat on the 6th.... is there anything I need to know since I have never participated in a chat before? I know that there is a "click to chat" at the top of our KB page.... and have done that. It took me to the lobby and told me, "welcome". Obviously, I see a box that would allow for typing a message.... will that show me what others are writing also? I did try to see if we had any kind of info on chatting.... or if there was a tutorial.... but didn't come up with anything. So, I'm thinking it must be pretty simple/straight forward.... even for novices like me. I'm planning on taking my laptop to my local coffee shop that day in hopes of being able to participate in the chat also. Thanks!!

That's about all there is to it - - whatever you type will be viewable by others who are in chat at that time, and you'll be able to see what others are chatting about.

This could be a little group of north east Dallas area Kindlers. I can make it to Firewheel or Wylie, just need to know the particular Starbucks. |

Wow. I want to do this. But it seems there is no good way to organize it. Or at least nothing set up.
If someone knows a place that is organizing by Starbucks or people in your erea let me know.
For now it appears that people just post on a blog (here) and hopefully someone caught the notice of National Kindle Day and will find this blog, scroll through all the posts and see someone who is in their area to meet with. Considering only 1% statistically of Kindle owners follow these blogs, and there are soooooo many Starbucks spread out over the land. I find it difficult to think how this will be.
But prove me wrong. I am in California near West Hollywood. I have two Starbucks.
Sunset & La Brea - Hollywood
7055 SUNSET BLVD
Los Angeles, CA 90028
(323) 469-6994
OR
Santa Monica & La Brea, West Hollyw
7100 Santa Monica Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90046

Basboy, put up a poster in one of those Starbucks, and that way people will who frequent that Starbucks will see it and if they're so inclined, bring their Kindles on Saturday. Or, if you have other ideas to get the word out, go for it! Worst case: you end up sitting for a half hour at Starbucks with a cup of coffee and your Kindle - - there are far worse ways to spend a Saturday morning.  |

Hi basboy - nice to have you here. Go to the Southern California Thread in Not Quite Kindle - there is discussion of meeting at some Starbucks.
Congrats n your first posting! Why don't you drop by the Intro and Welcome Thread and let us know a bit about you and others will welcome you as well.
I'm going to put the Starbucks poster up, but not at a Starbucks, don't have any where I am, and see what happens.

As some of you may know, June 6 is the day the events in the classic 1970s song "Convoy" take place. I thought a spoof with some of the board members might be fun. This is as far as I got!  sp "Kindle Konvoy" (sung to the tune of "Convoy") Was a bit before noon on the sixth of June In a Starbucks Coffee Shop Saw a buncha people with a white device And I knew I had to stop There was Betsy the Quilter and Leslie, too Just a sippin' their coffee down I says, "Harvey, this here is Kindle Culture, And I'm about to go to Kindle Town" 'Cause we got a Kindle party Rockin' through the night. Yeah, we got a Kindle party, Aint they a beautiful sight? Come on and bring your Kindles Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way We gonna DTP our stories 'cross the USA. Kindle! |

Just found this thread. I don't think there is anyone else from Evansville with a Kindle on these boards. My niece has one. I think I will see if she will go with me to Starbucks. It is nearby and I have never gone there. No need with a Keurig. I will go for one of their latte's or something exotic. |

Firewheel would probably be more central, and get more attention, too. Actually, I'm not sure if I'll make it or not on a Saturday morning, so let's call all NE DFW Kindlers there. |
