Ames Tweetup

#burritoup at Panchero’s-Tuesday December 15th (Ames, IA)

It’s that time of the year again when the smell of food fills your head and all you can think about is friends and well, food.  No, I’m not talking about the holidays, we still have just over a week to get into them.  I’m talking about the recent #burritoup that happened on Tuesday at Panchero’s in Ames.

Even with Iowa’s cold winds, ice and deep snow, that didn’t stop sixteen brave and hungry burrito fans.  They decided to join their family, those who love burritos so much, at the adjoined tables  The conversation revolved around the fact that 2009 is soon to be over, revolvers, family and friends, and the not so distant travels of some.  Getting so close to the holidays, it’s hard to share time with family- like friends.  We were lucky enough to have such a day yesterday.

Apart from catching up with those we have known from other events, there were some new people the joined us.  It’s a great thing when you can extend the love of something as wonderful as a burrito.  With the holidays coming up fast, this event may be one of the last of 2009.  I believe some may think of that in a sad light and yet it gives me hope for a new year.

#amesuglysweatertweetup at Olde Main- December 17th, 2009

Thinking about the holidays and snow, got me thinking about ugly sweaters.  With all the crazy possibilities for holidays and ways to spend them, I thought about my twitter friends.  Yes, it’s time for another #tweetup, but not just any #tweetup, a sequel to last years Epic Ugly Sweater Party, but in Ames this year.

If you have an ugly Christmas sweater or just plan ugly sweater, I hope you will join us next Thursday at Olde Main (bar side) at 6pm.  Don’t worry about looking funny or not being taken seriously.  This time of year, you should be looking for a reason and excuse to get a little crazy and do something fun.  Be prepared to have some laughs, some drinks and food by spending some time with friends and doing a little networking.  You can RSVP to the event here, so we know if we will see your amazingly ugly sweater or not.  I’m looking forward to seeing you all before the holidays and having some fun together.
