We’re very happy to announce that next Wednesday, 10/28/2009, from 5:30pm through 8:30pm, we’re hosting our very first Tweetup at the Sonicbids office here in Boston.

As you may know, we have an open door policy for our members to drop by anytime, but this night will be extra special, since we’re bringing in a couple of friends from South By Southwest: Brent Grulke (SXSW’s Creative Director who oversees their team that reviews and selects the bands) and Scott McNearney (SXSW’s Sponsorship Manager).

This Tweetup will be a very casual get together, where you’ll get the chance to not only socialize with your fellow local peers and the Sonicbids bunch over food and drinks, but to also meet the folks from SXSW in person and pick their brain on what they look for in their showcasing bands.

So come down and join us next Wednesday; we’d love to see you!

PS: If you can’t make it, have a listen to this phone interview we did with Brad First from SXSW’s selection committee: http://lounge.sonicbids.com/284
