Aloha once again!

Many of you know that we will be moving next Wednesday, as we suddenly lost our jobs and were not able to find new ones that were stable quick enough.

We have been showing up for GPECWAOSH meetings on Tuesday nights, but since everyone stopped coming, I wanted to send out this last bulletin, as a call for any who want to see us before we go.

If you would like to come tonight to Cafe 2600, or would like to drop by our apartment today/this evening to chill or say hi, please email me at composr [at] gmail (dot) com. Otherwise, we will not be coming by tonight.

Please be warned that there is no GPECWAOSH next Tuesday night because of the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

If you would like to see us at any time before we leave next Wednesday, please contact me and let me know.

Mahalo nui loa, a hui hou,

Jonathon and Kelly

Well, it seems that people's incredibly busy lives over this past month have prevented them from participating in otherwise writerly activities. :) Myself included, we had a rather intensely busy April, and I apologise to any Frenziers for not having more activities, but it seemed people were far too busy for such things as writing scripts.

Regardless, we enter a sad time when we face to lose one of our own, Sam, who will be leaving the island in the near future (very near, in fact). Mike has graciously taken it upon himself to organise the farewell party, tonight (Tuesday) at Chiang Mai restaurant. He has asked to congregate at his place between 6:30-7:00 this evening. If you need further information, please contact Mike (UwasaWaya).

In other news, because of this sudden change in plans, our weekly meeting/write-in will take place on Wednesday instead, from 7:00 pm as usual. We are entering a small interim period, to allow for some breathing, relaxing, and those of us still in school to wrestle with finals and end-of-semester duties. Write-ins will be a time to hang out as usual, but bring something you are still working, such as editing a NaNo, another novel or your script. If you have nothing to work on, don't worry! Come on by anyways, and we'll work on a short story every week or so to keep our creative juices at a steady trickle. :)

Without further ado, see you tonight, and if not, see you Wednesday! A hui hou.

In case you have noticed, or you were waiting for my e-mail (which *finally* got sent out ^_^), Script Frenzy 2009 is here!! If you've ever wanted to write a screenplay or script, now's your chance!

It's never too late to sign up and start, the goal is 100 pages, and if that sounds daunting, don't worry: 100 pages in script format is nothing! Check out:

You can always find out more by coming to the write-in tonight and the Kickoff on Sunday! Check out the
official regional calendar here:

Remember, 30 days and 100 pages only means 3.33-ish pages per day! And let me tell you, wordcount-wise it's chump change, a measly few word wars. Though I can't imagine trying to do word wars with scripts, something just tells me it won't work.

Just like NaNo, don't worry if you don't have anything to write about, we can provide magical plot machines to spew forth very, very bad plots, characters and central struggles. Don't miss this chance to make a less-than-mediocre script. C'mon, it'll be fun! Really, I don't even have a story. Not a clue.

So now you know, and now I expect you all to be there, or be []. Brackets, yes, you'll be brackets.

Hope to see you all there! And if you don't want to join the Frenzy, bring your own pet project to work on.
