How many non-Irish folk can you fit into an Irish bar? I wish this was a set up to a joke, but it’s not. The answer is about 100 completely different people from twitter! 100 people shoved into Scruffy Murphy’s in College Park makes for an interesting night.
Jeff and I met up with our friend Tommy and we had a little walk over to the bar. We were early, but all was well and Mickey, from SomaCow, was there already so we grabbed our first drink of the night. Thanks to Mickey for our drinks! All of the SomaCow guys are great…well I can’t say that for J though..seeing as though he apparently doesn’t ever want to come meet others, so I haven’t met him yet..
Shortly after, others started flowing in and by the end of the night I had walked around (yep..I continued standing the entire night, even after…oh…6? beers. Oops!) and met quite a few wonderful people (I also did some catching up with others that I got to meet at the Ichiban tweeup). Including, but not limited to: Carri, Sir Kyle (because that is what I will always call him), Ashley, Anthony “I don’t have a butterfly on my keychain” Richardson, Garth, Katy, Marc Middleton, Geoff, Jen, Mickey, Ross, Shawn, Etan, Daphne, Melanie, and Susan (who is a great alarm system–she kept Jeff from stealing things from my bag! Which I greatly appreciate!)
Thanks again to Etan and Daphne for putting together a wonderful tweetup. I can honestly say that I never expected that many people to show up. Who would have thought?
Below are some of my favorite tweets the day of the tweetup! And then pictures from the tweetup!

What is a tweetup?
So glad that we actually met this time unlike at Latitude’s. And, thanks for being my coughing buddy!
