I had a great time at the [RE]Think Hawaii Tweetup tonight. It was geektastic! Christine Lu and the ReThink Hawaii Crew put together an amazing event. I had the opportunity to meet so many fantastic geeks there that I hope to see again soon.

One thing I love to do when traveling is organize Tweetups so I can meet my twitter friends! And going to Hawaii is no different. We had a “Hulaween” Lunch Tweetup on Saturday, Oct. 31st. It’s a good thing that it was on a Saturday because all the kids were able to attend.
We had lunch at Nico’s at Pier 38, which is a favorite place of ours ever since @hawaii introduced it to us last year! Anything with the seared ahi is good!
It was such a nice and friendly tweetup group. 19 people attended (more came after this photo was taken). More photos to come (after I’m back from my vacation).
p.s. This photo should be on Hawaii IRL! :)

@Veronica, @Giannii, @mcnitt, @jyamasaki, @jamescway and I were pretty busy getting ready for #winebarsf tweetup today. We had some great swag arriving all over the place! Many thanks to MightyLeaf, Digg, Revision 3, Tekzilla, Disqus, Zappos, FunnyorDie, AllTop, Twit, Google, Box.net, and Seesmic for all the awesome goodies!
Before the event, I had a pre-tweetup dinner with @emilychang, @maxkiesler, @mcnitt, and @dragonal at Santorini. Mmm, the food was delicious! I highly recommend going there if you get the chance. We left the restaurant to head over to the #winebarsf tweetup, but hit Critical Mass. I didn’t know what that was until I heard all the cars honking at the cyclists. Oops. We were stuck in traffic for a bit, but finally made it to the #winebarsf tweetup!
It was awesome seeing all our fellow geeks in one place. :) I got to meet a lot of people — too many to name — that night. It turned out to be a nice pre-Wordcamp event. Thank you all for coming!
I left #winebarsf around 10:30pm and went to have desserts at Ghiradelli with my college friends. Yum. Yum, yum. Now I need to figure out how to get some sleep before the big day at Wordcamp SF!

I had such a great time at the WeHoTweetup (West Hollywood Tweetup) today! Everyone just came and hung out at 8oz Burger Bar on Melrose in Hollywood. And yes, they even have a twitter page!
The burgers were delicious and the geeky company was even better! It was great seeing everyone and finally meeting some of my twitter friends. There must have been 30+ people there since we took over two very large tables.. heh
By request, I’m listing all the tweets who came so everyone can follow everyone. :) Please let me know if I missed you! Just leave a comment in the post with your twitter name.

@8ozBurgerBar – Thanks so much for having us! Your food and service was superb!
@annwillmott, thanks so much for planning the Tweetup! It turned out great. Love ya!
For breakfast, @dragonal and I went to the Grand Central Station to pick up something quick to eat. Loved the pastries at Zaro’s in the food court area. The coffee — not so much. I had this French Toast bagel that was unbelievably good! Totally recommend it. :)
We headed toward Rockerfeller Center to meet up with @fadingflowers. She brought her daughter with her — the cutest little thing — and we went to explore the NBC Experience Store, Nintendo World, Toys R us, and Sanrio Luxe. For lunch, we had Japanese food on 34th street. Yum.
By 6pm we started to head to Southstreet Seaport for the #NYCTweetup! We were running a bit late and it started pouring rain already. Doh. @bryanbrinkman was already there and we waited for a few more minutes. Every few minutes, someone joined the tweetup, so there was a rainbow of umbrellas huddling together. :)
We moved the tweetup indoors and chatted for hours. We didn’t realize how late it was getting and they already started to close the mall. So we moved the Tweetup again. We all huddled in the rain together and then into the subway, looking back to make sure we all stuck together. Yes, us tweeps take care of each other. :) We got to the Soho area and decided to have dinner at Je’Bonusa. More great conversations took place about geek, twitter, and life. :) I had a great time, and I hope everyone else did too!
Thanks for coming to the tweetup! @bryanbrinkman @pop17 @beansbaxter @womansworth @jafarside @dragonal @fadingflowers @boheme06 @claycarnill @meganmayes @kirkdesoto — you guys are great. Hope this is just the first of many NY tweetups for you!
