Put the shake in your shamrock at the March LRtweetUp Monday, March 14th at @Cregeens Irish Pub in the Argenta District from 4:30p to 6:30p! We have some special shenanigans lined up for the occasion, including $4 Guinness and $1 off appetizers for all attendees. RSVP your attendance today…or we’ll send the leprechauns…
Hello LRTweeps! I’m happy to introduce a belated attempt to loosely organize our activities over the coming year, at least enough organization to get us all in the same room at the same time.
Want to organize a LRTweetup this year? I know you do. We have one open slot, meaning we need YOU! Register your ideas and intent in the comments, and/or DM @angelmg for details.
See a Tweetup and want to help? Hit up an organizer and offer your services. I’m sure they’d appreciate it.
Dates will be set by the organizers and are all currently TBD.

Now scheduling for 2012? You guys are awesome. See you there!
In the hustle of our everyday lives it’s easy to ignore the parts of this world that don’t directly affect us. We juggle roles and responsibilities and the days turn into a blur until we see something that brings us to a jarring halt.
Like this,
All the issues in my life seem trivial when I see such a simple and desperate need.
Our LRtweetup community is full of people that give in hundreds of different ways and your tweets have become a window into a world outside of my own, even in my own backyard and this yard has people hurting, homeless and cold. So while we usually don’t do tweetups during the holidays but we couldn’t stand by without trying to help.
Next Wed, Dec 15 is your chance to make a difference and hear some awesome music. My friends @MonkhouseMusic are playing a concert at Whitewater Tavern and donating all the proceeds to @AaronBReddin’s work at the St. Francis House.
Expect to hear everything from Muscle Shoals to Memphis in their melting pot of blues, gospel, and southern rock. You don’t want to miss this.
Rock the Tavern
Wed Dec 15, 8pm

There is a $2 cover but LRtweetup is asking you to donate $5. If you have coats and blankets please bring those as well. If you’d like larger donations will be gladly accepted.
Our goal $500. Surely we can find 100 people willing to donate $5.
Even if you can’t come to the show we’ll get online donations setup. Our challenge to you. Donate $5 and challenge 1 other friend to donate as well. All proceeds will go to the St. Francis house work.
Great music and the opportunity to share a little gift of hope. Sounds like Christmas already.
Let’s do this folks!

There are two things we have learned in the past year+ of tweetups.
1) LRtweeps love their city
2) LRtweeps like to drink
We decided we wanted to find a cool way to support the city and have a cool drink for our end of summer tweetup. We reached out to our buddy Phil Brandon about coming over and invading @RocktownDistill for a night and after a few samples of Brandon’s he agreed.
Then Phil broke out a freshly bottled Batch #2 of Brandon’s Gin. Long story short Phil and I hashed out a plan for what should be the coolest @LRTweetup ever. We have had special drinks and food before, that is all here, but this tweetup will be one to remember.
Be sure to RSVP for this one, we need a decent count of who is coming.
When: September 30th
Where: Rock Town Distillery http://goo.gl/maps/Ew3k

So this month we are going to go where few geeks have been before, the golf course, aside from a few games of Tiger Woods on the XBox that is. @TheFirstTeeLR has invited us out on August 26th. They will have drinks and light appetizers and a few fun activities if the weather cooperates (meaning is less than 100°).
So bring your @PGA_JohnDaly loudmouth pants or knickers and hang out with us on Aug 26th (yes it will be indoors).
Where: First Tee LR (directions)
When: August 26th @ 5:30
Please RSVP here and spread the word if you plan to come: http://twtvite.com/3jr76p
It’s safe to say that our tweetups have become a tour of Little Rock’s best restaurants and bars and this Thursday builds on this tradition as we visit the brand new Red Door Restaurant.
The Red Door is Mark Abernathy’s latest restaurant. Mark’s cuisine has been a staple of Little Rock dining with restaurants like Loca Luna, Bene Vita, and Juanita’s and now we get to enjoy his take on modern Southern Cuisine.
We’ll be enjoying appetizers of Red Door (Blue Mesa) cheese dip and homemade tri-color chips as well as Pepperoni and Tuscan Veggie appetizer pizzas. The Red Door is also continuing another #LRtweetup tradition and introducing the “Tweet-Tini”.
A “Tweet-tini” as described by Mark,
more civilized version of a long island Iced Tea with Fresh Brewed Iced Tea, Citrus Vodka, Simple Syrup and Fresh Lemon
What more could you ask?
Throw in a mouthwatering menu with everything from toasted bruschetta to BBQ Shrimp and Grits and a chance to relax with some great friends and it’s easy to see we are starting year number 2 right.
See you Thursday evening.
Please RSVP and don’t forget you can follow @RedDoorLR on Twitter, or visit their website, RedDoorRestaurant.net
