I was chatting with @tsudo last week after the Heifer Village @passonthegift LRTweetup, and bemoaning how few people we had managed to capture on video telling their stories for the upcoming Tweetie Awards.

Thanks to the generous, creative and talented @jeffdailey, we should have an amazing video highlighting our community, a representative few of its members and how they came to be involved with Twitter and LRTweetup.

It will be kinda like the death reel during the Oscars ceremony, the small serious moment amidst all the laughs and awards fun. Except everyone in ours is still alive. At least I hope they will be. Perhaps this is a bad comparison. Let’s move on.

To those of you who participated, thank you. To those of you who couldn’t make it, I’m sorry we missed you. Those of you who slipped past me, I saw you (not naming names @bryanjones). Those of you who flat out refused, I know where you live (we all do, since you’re always checking in from there). And while you avoided me, @jeffdailey and his professional lav mics, as a person who’s much better behind a keyboard than in front of a camera, it’s okay. I understand.

So here’s your chance to make it up to me.

I will accept, in no particular order: Cash (small bills preferred), Food (wide preference here, but partial to Vietnamese restaurants and greasy burger joints), Drinks (wine or beer, and no, I’m not doing shots with you @jgreghenderson) or to make things simple you could tell me your story here, right now.

Who or what got you started on Twitter?

How did you hear about LRTweetup?

What’s your favorite thing about this community?

Boxers or briefs?

Well, perhaps not that last one, unless you really want us to know. And I’m not sure what that says about you.

It doesn’t have to be fancy, although you can submit video as well as audio if you please. It just has to be yours. And after spending a year around you people, I for one would really like to hear it. I’m betting the rest of us might, too.

Leave your story in the comments below, upload a video to your favorite video site, record your story, (Cinch makes this very easy) or blog your story (if you don’t have a blog, email your story to keith [at] lrtweetup.com and we’ll post your story here). – Keith
