Anywho, I'm working on being brave so I've decided to attend my first tweetup. For non-twitter folks, a tweetup is a gathering of people who use twitter. I know. SHUT UP. It's totally cool. (Actually I don't know that since I haven't been to one, but I know people who have gone and they're cool, so I'm going to assume the event is cool by association.) (There will be alcohol.)
It's not until April 19/20, but I'm declaring it now publicly so you can keep me committed to it. I really do want to go, but it scares the shit out of me. I will know three people at the event. THREE. Which seems like a lot, except that it's not because there will be so many more people I won't know. Like everyone else.
To those who have been to a tweetup, any tweetup, what's it like? What should I expect? Eep!
To those going to the Chicago tweetup, I'll be the girl in the corner drinking whiskey and coke trying to make myself feel falsely brave. At some point I'll probably say something remarkably inappropriate, like the word vagina right when everyone takes a moment to sip from their drinks and the whole place gets quiet. That happens a lot.
See you there?
I've never gone to one of these, but I have friends who have done it, and they loved it. Hope you have fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm so nervous, but I think it'll be a lot of fun.
DeleteI've never gone to one on this level (I suppose I'd have to join Twitter or something like that), but I have done meet-ups with fellow bloggers in my area. I had fun - I hope you will, too!
ReplyDeleteAt the very least I'll be able to tell you how good the drinks are, and what the bathroom looks like.
DeleteI did that at a funeral once. The vagina thing. So embarrassing, churches stress me out.
ReplyDeleteThat may be the best thing I've heard all day. Welcome to the "I say inappropriate things" club. I brought snacks.
DeleteI will not be attending any kind of tweetup anytime soon, but it sounds awkwardly fun. The best part about it is that some of the other people who are coming probably feel exactly the same about it as you do, which means that there will probably be several people yelling vagina throughout the night.
ReplyDeleteIf I were going to your tweetup, at least there'd be two of us doing that.
One of these days we'll schedule a gathering for all the awkward people, and we'll all just hang out in a giant bathroom yelling inappropriate awkward things to amuse each other. It'll be awesome!
DeleteWish I could go. I would dig hanging with you.
ReplyDeleteWhy must we live so far away? I would totally hang with you and with Bobina. One of these days we'll make it happen.
