Deep Fried #TriangleTweetup a SUCCESS!
6
October 23rd, 2009Networking Events, social media, twitterREAD: The FIRST EVER Deep Fried #TriangleTweetup at the NC State Fair (@NCStateFair) was awesome. I was excited that @colettewh came with me! Even though it took us almost an hour to find the unassuming white tent on the opposite side of the fairgrounds, we had such a blast. I met some awesome new people and I even saw some familiar faces (Hey, @1918, we Buckley’s gotta stick together!)
There were Twitter-themed swag bags, free state fair food (READ: chocolate covered bacon = NOT okay), prizes, free L’OREAL Paris makeovers, and even Twitter-themed FACE PAINTING. Mimi the Clown was awesome and did a great job decking everyone out in sweet Fail Whales, Twitter birds, and even RSS Feeds (@WayneSutton “gotta sport the RSS feed”). I took a picture of some of the awesome face paintings that Mimi the Clown did! (I particularly love the little girl’s AWESOME @ symbol on her forehead). Check out some of them here:

I don’t remember everyone’s Twitter handle, if you’re pictured and I didn’t list you, leave a comment with your name!)All I can say is, I can’t WAIT for next year.
All for now.

Molly,
Wanted to let you know my daughter’s name is Ava. Her face painting was titled “Twitter Princess” and she loves to have her face painted! Thanks again for the photo.
