Last night, I attended the 1st Triangle Tweetup. I would have to classify it as a success. Wayne Sutton did an excellent job of pulling it all together.
Prior to the tweetmeetup a bunch of us met up at McGregor’s Draft House for a quick pint or two. I arrived a few minutes early, and not really knowing what anyone looked like, I parked myself at the bar. I kept scanning the area for people that look like the might ‘get twitter’, but you really can’t stereotype that can you? While enjoying my lovely pint of Stella, I tweeted “… I’m the one with the hat… and a couple tattoos”. Not even a minute or two later, someone tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I was Critter? I was. The group was right behind me. Introductions were made — and I have to say this now, folks.. I suck at names. faces.. yeah… I can do faces.. names.. I are bad — and light conversation was made. The group quickly grew, so everyone moved outside for food and a bit of clear air.
fast forward a bit…
At the event location, name tags were applied and more mingling commenced. Introductions were made and we began. I have to admit, I have a hard time in general remembering what all was talked about, but I do remember all the conversations I had with people at the event. I did a demo of Seesmic and showed off my Seesmic Racoon (you had to know it would make an appearance). Oh, I just remembered some of the things we talked about. *whew* I am not loosing it!
Anyway.. it was a great event, and it’s always nice to put faces with.. @names. Speaking of which… I ran into a guy I worked with back at MCI back in the early 2000’s — small world.
So thanks to all that worked to pull the event together. Well done.
Hey Critter! great job! My first comment here. I also suck at names, I blame it usually on my being French, where we don’t use names like we do here in the US. Maybe you could blame it on the tatoos then?
It was awesome meeting you at the Tweetup. Not only did I get to see some cool tattoos, but my first split tongue. Crazy. Good luck with your new gig.
