GREAT times at this past week’s tweetup!  Thanks to everyone — whether you tweeted about it, blogged about it, offered words of support, or just plain showed up — who made it happen.  I noticed a LOT of new faces (yay) and a few missing regulars (boo), but it seems like everyone in attendance had a great time.  If you’ve never been to one, our Central PA tweetups (which, by definition, includes all of the contributors to blogHarrisburg) take place on the third Thursday of every month, from 7-9pm, in The Abbey Bar at ABC Harrisburg.   One of the issues raised at past meetups is getting to know everyone, and how we identify each other.  September’s tweetup will feature nametags so people can share their URL, real name (if they choose), and Twitter name.  A little geeky?  Perhaps, but aren’t we all?  It will help break the ice for the less-outgoing among us, and it will help anyone new to the group to locate us. I’ll also have a signup sheet so that we can track participation.  @SaraBozich conducted a sign-in roster at this past meetup; if you didn’t sign in, Tweet her a “hello” and let her know who you are.  I don’t plan on doing anything more dastardly with your information than publishing your Twitter username and/or your URL; your privacy is otherwise assured. So thanks again to everyone who made it out, wanted to make it out, or even thought about making it out!  If you weren’t there, do consider dropping by in September.  We’ll likely be inside this time (although if the deck is still open and the weather is “fall crisp” and not “winter OMG FREEZING”, I’m all for going outdoors).  Hope to see you then!

When:  Thursday, 09/18/08, 7pm until 9pm Where:  The Abbey Bar (upstairs at ABC Harrisburg) What:  A meetup of the blogHarrisburg contributors + Central PA Twitter users The third Thursday of every month, us bloggers and Twitter users (Twitterers?  Tweeps?  Twits?) get together on the second floor of Appalachian Brewing Company on Cameron Street to get together and share in good company, food, and whatever seasonal beer (or chocolate milk, for the under-21 crowd) ABC happens to be cranking out.  We’re a very friendly bunch, and our group grows in size every month.  The tweetup is open to anyone from Central PA with a Twitter account as well as all of the contributing bloggers featured on blogHarrisburg.  Hope to see you there!
