CWC Write-In at the Oakland Museum of California

Venue: The Oakland Museum of California. The big beautiful building has a bigger and more beautiful garden with lots of seats and tables and places to write. Please chose any publicly accessible spot in the garden or in the cafe.

FREE: This is a free event. While the museum charges a price for admission to the exhibits, there is no charge into the cafe or the gardens. Do buy lunch, drink, or something nice at the gift shop of pay for membership. We love OMCA!

In-person: please follow the museum's COVID protocol (I will be masking up mostly when inside and not when outside).

Big time window to write: Come for as little or as much of that time as you like. Find a space and write! Socialize respectfully! If someone is too busy to talk, no worries, shut up and write!

Check-In:

At 3 pm, look for the host to check-in the cafe or the garden. They will have a Meetup or a CWC sign on the table or bench they are writing at.

What to bring: 1) your favorite writing tools, such as a pen and paper or a laptop, whatever is portable. 2) a warm jacket, blanket, or hoodie, if you chose to write outside in the spacious and glorious gardens (or sunscreen or whatever works for the weather), 3) a pillow, if that will make you more comfortable to sit and write, and 4) funds to buy lunch at the museum cafe or a bag lunch/snacks to help you power through.
