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!

Curveball Week

My plan this week was to attend ComicCon on the weekend and then dash out to the #140Conf in LA for Tuesday and Wednesday. Flu symptoms - or the actual flu - have kept me home. But that doesn't mean you have to stay indoors.

Instead of exhausting myself with excessive typing, I'll direct you to the calendar at the bottom of the page. Perhaps tomorrow I'll get some previews of events up.

Off to get some chicken soup right now.

Have fun out there....AND DON'T GET SICK!

Oh, Superheroes! Where will you be this weekend?

They'll be at Comicon Boston I suppose.

Will you be there?

Have fun out there!

Where's Bobbie and where would Bobbie's Clone go?

I like Jeff's idea of just posting my calendar but I will also add some more things to my list, calling them "things I would go to if I was able to clone myself".

Monday (October 26, 2009) -- My clone would start off the week with a Wordpress meetup -- I'll be home playing Mom.

Tuesday (October 27, 2009) -- Mass Innovation Nights (me) is exhibiting at the MIT Enterprise Forum RFID SIG Big event: The Auto-ID and Sensing Expo. It's free and more than 40 companies will be exhibiting there plus some really awesome speakers.

Wednesday (October 28, 2009) -- Starting off the day with Open Coffee at Andala, I hope. Watch this space (and my space (but not MySpace) and the MassInno space for news on that front in the next few weeks. Evening -- attending the Charitable Irish Society's Annual Silver Key event as staff. (We won't tell them I am not Irish, OK? I've got the hair color but I only married and friended Irish.)

Thursday (October 29, 2009) -- Brainshark's Sharktoberfest from 3-5, then off to the big event of the week -- Mass High Tech All-Stars event with a Tweetup afterward. You'll have to scoop me up and pour me in a cab afterward.

Friday (October 30, 2009) -- My clone would be visiting HubSpot as I can't make it -- that thing about having kids, you know?

Saturday (October 31, 2009) -- Halloween, trick or treating.

Sunday --My clone would definitely head to Boston Media Makers at Doyle's with Steve Garfield

See you around...@BobbieC
