that would be a cool way to meet other kindle freaks such as myself!
it would be like a new age book club! lol!

Yeah, absolutely; it's great to put a real face to the people in the community.

Seems like there should be enough of us here in central AR for a meet, we'll have to try in the future.

Where in AR? I am an hour from Texarkana.

I really hope that another K&K Day is planned. My daughter and I would probably go to one in the Kansas City area. Would love to meet other kindred spirits!

You know it occurs to me that WE don't have to wait for someone over on Amazon boards to decide to organize another K&K day. We can always do it from here - and then go over there and invite them to join us.
8 of the Washington, D.C. KB'ers had a get-together last month.  We had a very nice time.  A few other cities were talking about also doing it.  Why not go ahead.  The coffee-house setting is one that many people are already used to.  And we know that Starbucks would welcome such a thing - it brings them publicity and business.
So YOU could set a date and pick a particular Starbucks and ask those in your city/state to join you.  And then take the info to Amazon boards and ask there.  If you really want to open up to the world.  I understand that you can print out the posters that Harvey produced for us here and Starbucks will let you post them in the store one week in advance.  That way local people interested in Kindles might come - advertising often gets results.
However, my message is aimed at all of us - we can make future meetings happen - we don't have to wait for others to organize them (if we don't want to).

Just sayin.....

Good point, Geoff. I'm a believer in being proactive. That said, I'll wait until daughter is home from her honeymoon to see if there's a good Saturday for her. If no one in our area has set up a day, then we'll see what we can do.  (Hmm. That only sounds a tiny bit proactive, doesn't it?)
