While most of our events in November are focused on writing our novels, we do have one meet-up event planned where people can just chat about their novels or anything else. This originally was planned to be a dinner at Clara's (to begin a little while after the afternoon write-ins finish); however, it appears that Clara's will be closed that weekend in preparation for their move to a new location one block north.
UPDATE: 2013-11-15
I think we have a unanimous selection of Suparossa (Italian) at Seven Bridges. I have made a reservation for 18 people for 5:30 pm (Woodridge write-in ends at 4:30 pm; those of us cleaning up will probably leave there around 5 pm), Saturday, November 16th.

Accordingly, I've created a doodle poll for people to use to RSVP and to help select a restaurant. If you would like me to add a restaurant to this list, please let me know ASAP. I've set options for this doodle to be: Yes, Yes-if-need-be (for your second choices on restaurants), No. If you are tentative, please indicate this via a comment either in this thread or on the doodle.
Taste (Indian/Chinese/Asian Fusion), Downers Grove
There is some thought to do a quick lunch after the Carol Stream write-in in the morning for those making a whole day of it. If you have thoughts/interest in that, also reply to this thread.
Put me down as a very tentative maybe. Family is coming up to visit that day, but there's a slight chance they'll be driving back home in enough time for me to go.

Thanks!
Thanks, Katherine. I will make reservations at Suparossa.
As usual, I work until 5:15 on Saturday, but I'll join you as soon as I can make it over there.
Put me down as a maybe, please. :)
Okay, my brother (eganworks) and I are both definite for the dinner meet-up!
Can you put me down as definitely? Thanks!
Could you put me down for "Maybe," please? I would like to go with if I am able to.
I shall be a maybe.
Hey Tim, can you put Silira and I down for an absolute DEFINITE? (preferablyin all caps?)
That'd be Joe and Liz to the real world.
You've been added to the list!
The "maybe" folks should let me know when they know more about their plans:

It looks like Cass and I will indeed be making it out to dinner Saturday evening. :)
Bart is a probably not. Hope to be able to let you know for sure by Friday.
I think I'm going to have to say no for this one. My day's going to be a little hectic and I don't think I'll be able to swing it. Sorry, guys.
I'mcoming tomorrow! Sorry for the last-second notice. See you then.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to rescind my attendance: it's been a crazy week, and next week doesn't look any better. Have fun, y'all.
Is there still time to RSVP? If so, I'd LOVE to come!
I'm pretty sure Tim made the reservation for more than have committed. So come along.
Thanks!
Sorry I could not attend! (The stormy weather was not a little factor in this.)
We had a good time, guys, thanks!
Ajey, sorry you couldn't make it out--we missed you (and Jen and Paula and vericuester).
Mary--hope you are feeling better!
Joe, Liz, Tess--great to meet all of you.
Cheers,
--Tim
Thanks, Tim! I am feeling better, it was nice to hang out with all of you. :)
Glad to hear you're feeling better, Mary!
Here are pictures from yesterday's events (I forgot to take pictures at the Carol Stream write-in, alas).
