This morning we held a first "Tweetup" breakfast for local "twitterati" at 7:30 this morning at Prince Street Cafe in Lancaster City. Yes, it was early...but several "tweeters" braved the cold to come out and have a good time together.
Daniel Klotz (@DanielKlotz) and I (@LancasterHomes) had lunch a couple of weeks ago, and hatched up the idea of doing a breakfast that might be a recurring thing. Unfortunately Daniel found something more important than Twitter (work) and was prevented from hosting our gathering. He tapped Max Phillips (@Maxtana) of NotBadDesign.net to guide us and Max did a GREAT job.
Attending was Paul Stoltzfus, Ryan Shen-Hoover, Lydia Brubaker, Bethany Alwan, Bryan Coe, Shanelle Lee and Linda Espenshade. Linda, being a staff writer for the Lancaster Intellingencer Journal, just HAD to write a story about us and brought along a photographer who recorded the event. Eeks! I'm sure we'll all be quoted correctly, right Linda?
Everyone had a great time and we look forward to hearing about the next "Lancaster Tweetup". If you're interested in these events check out #LancasterTweetup on Twitter.com.
On a funny note, my Lancaster PA real estate team is holding our first "Meetup" this Thursday evening at 6:30 - a Lancaster PA first-time homebuyer event. Can you believe that? A "Tweetup" and a "Meetup" in one week!
I'm really glad it went so well this morning. I knew it would; this is a solid and laid-back group of people. The salt of the e-Earth. And I'm sure you're glossing over the great job you did as well. I definitely want to set up a sequel... at a time when I won't have to back out!
Had a great time this morning, even if I don't often see the front end of 5:30 am (yes, tha's what time I had to get up to be there by 7:30). I look forward to attending more Tweet Ups in the future.
Daniel and Max - thanks for making it happen! Look forward to the next one...
Jeff - that is so cool. I have seen a few pop up in our area but have yet to make it to one. ~Rita
Actually, wasn't so much writing a story about the Tweet-up as twittering in general. Wasn't quoting anybody this morning -- never fear.
Sorry to have missed it...my daughter was sick all night long. Hope to make the next one.
