GM Texas<\/a> and Brandon Williams<\/a> organized a Tweetup in Flower Mound, Texas tonight at Agave Tex Mex Restaurant.<\/p>\n

A Tweetup is an in-person meeting among people who otherwise associate via Twitter.\u00a0 So it is kind of like a regional car meet, where bloggers \/ enthusiasts in the region get together to socialize, share common interests, etc.\u00a0 This particular tweetup is called FMTweetup<\/a>, as it is held monthly in Flower Mound, Texas.\u00a0 This month the special guest was Jane Devin of findingmyamerica.com<\/a>, who is in Texas as part of her year long writing journey.<\/p>\n

Jane jokingly suggests that any person who is to be photographed should have 1st refusal right of review for any resulting photograph.\u00a0 I think that this is the approved one, except that I cropped and scaled it for use here in the blog.<\/p>\n

The event was well attended, with a variety of Bloggers \/ Twitterers \/ interested parties in attendance.\u00a0 GM Texas played host.\u00a0 The restaurant, Agave, was terrific, and the ambiance and setup were ideal for socializing.\u00a0 Not exactly in my neighborhood, but close enough.\u00a0\u00a0 I received a pen\/light\/air gauge set from GM as swag.<\/p>\n

This was the first Tweetup I have attended, but I found it was a good way to get to know people you only otherwise interact with online, and I enjoyed meeting everyone.\u00a0 As I often find, meeting people in person you already ‘know’ online makes it easy to socialize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
