Media Watch AZ Sponsored their first Tweet Up!

Saturday, June 20, 2009 Media Watch AZ (@lafinguy) along with Darrell Vasquez (@knot2serious) held a tweet up at NYPD Pizza on 20th St. & Camelback.

Turn out was great and the opportunity to meet a lot of the people we tweet with day in and day out was fabulous. I cannot tell you how much fun it is to actually be able to converse with these terrific people in more than 140 letters of the alphabet. In fact, I don’t think I even sent out more than 3 tweets between 6-10PM that night.

The staff at NYPD (@NYPD_Pizza) did a wonderful job taking care of our group. We had the entire patio to ourselves and they even allowed Darrell to bring his electric guitar and amp. It gave me the opportunity to play a little Smoke on the Water and some blues tune that I remember from many years ago. And, it reminded me of how bad I still am!

But, back to the gang at NYPD. Our main wait person, Danielle was terrific. She made sure that everyone was taken care of and we certainly appreciate her putting up with the multiple checks! I know how much of a pain that is, so thanks Danielle!! And Torri, NYPD Pizza the manager went above and beyond that evening too, making all of us feel welcome.

I wish I had taken my camera along so I could show you all the cool people that were there, but I forgot it at home.

So, in conclusion, I just want to say that if you haven’t attended a tweet up before, please find time to do so. It’s truly a wonderful experience to be able to share & network with the peeps you tweet throughout your week. And What I found really funny is meeting someone for the fist time, yet you know about their job, family, vacation plans, where they dine and what they like to do on the weekends. (as well as what they like on their pizza)

Thanks to everyone that showed up and special thanks to Darell for his friendship & assistance in making this a FUN NIGHT for all.

Okay, made it thru my first blog. That wasn’t too bad.

The tweetup was a blast! The staff at NYPD pizza was awesome as were the hosts and people attending the tweetup. This was my second one to attend and I have thoroughly enjoyed both! Thank you for arranging it!
