Oooooh, The Institute. I teach there and loved my time there when I went for training. Hope yours is wonderful.
I teach there too. What a great location to visit - close to NYC!
I loved my training time there too even though it left my brains leaking from my ears.
Actually, I meant I'm on their discussion boards as a Guest. :)

Looks so beautiful! I never heard of this place until now (am I allowed to admit that?)
On my over now...
:-)
Have a great time, we look forward to hearing about your adventures when you return!
It does look like a beautiful setting, maybe next time it will be for a night or two.
You know, up until this post I never realized that they had an actual, physical INSTITUTE....
I thought it was just a pretty sketch on the solicitations they send me, and the whole thing was really run out of someone's apartment somewhere.....
-anonymous because I'm embarrassed...
That building is for administration and teacher training - no writing classes held there that I know of.
I posted a pic of me on my blog, so if you're at the SCBWI conference in LA, please find me and I'll get you drunk and we'll sign contracts together. Okay?
:-)
