Ames Tweetup

#amestweetup at Olde Main, Were You There?

Last night, Tuesday July 21st, we had an #amestweetup at Olde Main (@oldemain) in downtown Ames, IA.  We have done #amestweetups there before, but this time had a very large group.  It looks like we were at about twenty people plus a few friends of those there, not on Twitter.  If you have not been to an #amestweetup before, I would encourage you to look into it.  Just watch for the #amestweetup hash tag for the time and place of the event.  I took some pictures of the event, so those of you who have not been before can see what it all looks like first hand.

We started things off at 6pm and what started off as a small group turned into a large group by about 7pm.  There were a handful of Ames tweeps who had been before, but many last night were new to the #amestweetup.  That made it great for those who came to network, meet new people, create relationships, have some drinks and food and of course fun.  Many who came last night took advantage of the $4.00 pitchers from 6pm-2am.  Olde Main has a handful of wonderful beers they brew in-house.  Over all the #amestweetup was a huge success.  It’s great to get others involved who are in our community.

#amestweetup at Olde Main – July 21, 2009

Come out to Olde Main (@oldemain) on Tuesday,  July 21st at 6pm. The group will be upstairs on the bar-side.  We try and do at least two tweetups per month to get people together and create opportunities to network, have drinks/food and fun.  I know we are adding people to the Des Moines metro and Ames area all the time.  We are so glad that the tweetup interest continues to climb.  The #dmtweetup/#amestweetups are opportunities to meet new people, network and create lasting relationships.  If this is your first tweetup you can contact Rich Drake (@richdrake) to put a face to your handle/user name by getting a tweetup badge.  You can also check out (@tweetupbadges) and order online.  Tonight we will have name badge labels if time has not allowed you to have your badge made.

If you are not from Ames and don’t know the area, Olde Main is downtown in Ames. You can check the map for directions if you need it. You can also check all the different and wonderful beers brewed at Olde Main.

Tonight’s Drink Specials:

$4.00 Pitches from 6pm-2am.

Hope you will join us tonight!
