New Year - Back on the Horse

People liked the fact that my calendar had items on it that others neglected to cover, so I'll keep it quasi up to date.

Thanks and have a great start to 2011.

NogUp3 - 12 Bars of Xmas - MegaTweetup II

Check the calendar now. It's got a ton of great stuff on the horizon.

From the second installment of the wildly successful and all-for-charity MegaTweetup at the NERD Center in Cambridge, to our third installment of the NogUp (this year in Southie at Atlantic Beer Garden) to a little bar-hopping extravaganza called the 12 Bars of Christmas.

Hope to catch up with you this holiday season!

Tour de France 2010 - Breakfast in Somerville, MA

If you live in the Boston, MA area of the world, pure bliss has returned! On July 14 and 22, Redbones BBQ in Somerville, MA (at 55 Chester Street), will again be doing their TDF breakfasts.

These are sessions where you ride your bike (they have a bike valet at Redbones) to the restaurant and get to watch the Tour de France on TV with other like-minded fans and cyclists.

It's fun, energizing and tasty. I'll be at one or both of these fun events. Hope to see you there.

Some tidbits

Just saw that June 4 is National Donut Day.

Signed up for a fondue Tweetup - yes, it's on the calendar.

Made a commitment to be a Wicked Important Person at the Awareness Bon Voyage party.

And I'm trying to see if there's any room in my schedule to get to both of the Tour de France breakfasts at Redbones in Somerville.

What are you up to?

Another Overlooked Boston Tweetup - Wednesday Night is JAMMED

Yes, another Wednesday night event. With Spookup and three other events already on the books for that night I was surprised to come across this event. I must have totally overlooked it in my search for Boston Tweetups.

Then I found it by pure happenstance while sitting on the couch watching the Twitter stream the past couple days. It's a Tweetup in Boston and the Facebook page says it's an open event. Guess I better expand my search to go beyond Eventbrite, Upcoming, Meetup and Ning.

And it underscores the fact that keeping an event calendar accurate - even for such a tight-knit social media community as Boston - is not a task that should be undertaken alone. Glad we've got the power of the crowd. *If you want to contribute, just leave a comment here on the blog. I'll send you an invite to be an author.

Here's the link to the aforementioned overlooked event - I've pasted details below.

In case you haven’t already heard about this, on Wednesday 10/28/2009 from 5:30pm through 8:30pm(-ish), we’ll be hosting our very own Tweetup here at the Sonicbids office in Boston.

As you may know, we have an open door policy for our members to drop by anytime, but this night will be extra special, since we’re bringing in a couple of friends from South By Southwest: Brent Grulke (SXSW’s Creative Director who oversees their team that reviews and selects the bands) and Scott McNearney (SXSW’s Sponsorship Manager).

This Tweetup will be a very casual get together, where you’ll get the chance to not only socialize with your fellow local peers and the Sonicbids bunch over food and drinks, but to also meet the folks from SXSW in person and pick their brain on what they look for in their showcasing bands.

So come down and join us next Wednesday; we’d love to see you!
