November Tweetup – Taco Thanksgiving

Posted on November 7, 2011 by Greg

Last year as we tripped over the November Tweetup one of the consistent request I received was for a potluck style tweetup. Think Southern Baptist church meets SXSW.

I’ve had about a year to think on it, which is far longer than you all are ever allowed to give me to think again, and a traditional Thanksgiving potluck is just not our style. True @bryanjones does look even more bear like with oven mits and I hear @kellimarks makes an awesome stuffin’ muffin (make up your own jokes for those two). However there is one food group that geeks love above all else.

Tacos

Any mexican food will do actually. Best if served from a truck by a guy with a neck beard. So I thought what better than to have a Taco Thanksgiving. Bonus points if you come rocking the neck beard.

Here is how this works. I’ve partnered with Eikon church along with Aaron Reddin, because you know it is the time of giving and all. Eikon is going to hosts us on their Open doors night which means some members of our community will join us. Aaron is going to bring the van by.

You have two options, either bring food or bring a donation for the Van. Think about what you want to do and I’ll kick around a signup sheet in the next couple of days. All are welcome to come eat, tweet, and hangout.

Thanks from the Junior League

We received the following very kind thank you note from the Junior League of Little Rock. Thank you to the Junior League for letting us be a part of their “Stuff the Bus” drive.

Water to Wine Tweetup

Posted on September 8, 2011 by Keith

Join central Arkansas’s tweeters at one of Little Rock’s coolest hot-spots, ZIN Urban Wine and Beer Bar, in the popular downtown 3^rd Street district.

The owners of ZIN, Troy Deal and Michael Puckett, are excited we’re coming! They’ll put out a FREE snack spread just for us, in addition to offering fantastic happy-hour wine and beer specials.

ZIN offers a hip, non-smoking environment perfect for chatting up your old and new Twitter buds.

So…where does the “water to wine” theme come in?

I’ve wanted to do something to help Aaron Reddin (@HomelessHeretic) with his very important homeless aid project, the cornerstone of which is “The Van.” Perhaps you have, too. This is your chance!

Our homeless neighbors served by The Van are in constant need of bottled water. If everyone who attends the Tweetup brings a 6-pack (or more) of bottled WATER to the WINE bar, we’d amass a substantial donation.

Get it? WATER will lead you to WINE! Of course cash (or check) donations will also be appreciated.

Special appearance! Aaron and The Van itself will be with us at the Tweetup. They may even bring some T-shirts and arm bands.

Make plans now to join us September 27!

For more information about The Van and its mission, visit TheOneInc.org and read this story from Sync Weekly.

Help us spread the word by inviting friends through our Water to Wine Facebook Event.

Thanks! @AshAhrens

Back to School Tweetup

Posted on August 11, 2011 by Keith

Little Rock TweetUp is going back-to-school… or at least helping students get their learning on.

We’ve teamed up with the Junior League of Little Rock to Stuff the Bus. Each year, JLLR supplies students in the Little Rock School District, identified as “most in need,” with the essentials to succeed academically.

Join us Thursday, August 25 at 5:30 p.m. Copper Grill. They will prepare a signature appletini for the evening. We’ll be in the party room in the back.

Admission for the evening is school supplies. Requested items:

school glue
24-count crayons
loose-leaf wide ruled notebook paper
#2 pencils

Y’all know I am shameless. I am a Southern woman, and I will go to the guilt if I have to. I fully expect big participation on this school supplies drive. We have shown in the past we can do impressive things. Let’s do it again.

Cook Out at Pinnacle Mountain

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Keith

We’re super stoked about this month’s LRTweetup at Pinnacle Mountain State Park on Thu July 21, 5:30p.

@PetitJeanMeats is providing grillers (read: big ol’ hot dogs) and Polish sausage for the cookout and @sweetlovebakes will bring the delicious with a whole heap of cookies.

More surprises may be in store… so pay attention!

All we ask is that you bring a side dish, so we can do this thing family potluck style. It’s just $5 a plate, and every single dime will go to the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Foundation. Feel free to RSVP via Facebook and pay at the pavilion.

Thanks to @SavannahB for organizing and @LRfamily for co-sponsoring the event.
