Here is the email that I sent to the group for those dropping by:

Good Morning!

There is a Twitter Festival-Twestival being planned for the morning of February 12. The location that the event is currently being planned for is Hubbard & Craven in Broad Ripple. http://indianapolis.twestival.com/

Amy Stark suggested that we try to get a few different locations going to better accomodate all of the Indiana Twitterers which I think is an awesome idea.

I live on the SW side, in Camby, and would much rather do a Greenwood or maybe even an airport Tweetup.

Those of you outside the Indy area; are you open to getting your Twitter friends together at the location of your choice to participate?

The Hubbard & Cravens one is being planned for 8:30 a.m.. I will be a bit late getting to one because the kids get on the bus at 8:15, but I'm open to meeting up!

Please send me a message and let me know your thoughts and what would work best for you.

Thanks,

Nicki

I'm in Beech Grove, so any southside location would be great for me, too. I'm open for any time.

I'm in Carmel - so I am game for either Broad Ripple or the Northside..... H&C has fantastic tea....so am leaning that way....

Downtown works best for me. I know of a few places the group could use, including Mo'Joe Coffeehouse at Michigan and Senate. Downtown is easier to access than Broadripple for people coming in off the highway.

FYI, I'm going to try and get the Bloodmobile to be there. It's short notice, so I don't know if it will work, but I'll keep you posted.

The only thing preventing me from coming is its a weekday and in the morning. If it was in the evening or on a weekend that would would work.

Thanks though!

Chris,

Feel free to invite some of your friends to meet up with you at a time and location convenient for you! I think there are many people with that issue, so just do what is convenient for you! ;)

I just updated the http://Indianapolis.twestival.com page. We have over 20 people confirmed who will either spearhead an event around town (be at a certain place at a certain time--Breakfast, Lunch Dinner, or Cocktails at your favorite place), or they will participate in one of the locations.

Wherever, Whenever two tweeters in Indy meet on the 12th
They should tweet about the meet and include the hashtag #TWIndy09

AT Becky-- You could do the H&C or set up a Carmel lunch at Bubs or some other groovy place. Just pick a time and a place and tweet me the info. I will post it on the location list ... tweet me @amystark

At Kenan -- do same thing for dowtown... Wherever, Whenever on the 12th that's convenient for you, tweet it at me, and I will post it

Same for Chris and your cute little squirrel.

Kara... where do you stop for cocktails in the evening? or Lunch on the
Southside? If you don't want to start a new location, you could always go to @thebeancup any time on the 12th. Not only do they have the best coffee in town, whenever anyone goes there on the 12th it will be a tweetUP because there are always a couple of tweeters lurking. It's kind of like a Southside Indy geek mecca =)

@gregcooper -- If I lose, I will allow @kyleplacy to photoshop a bald cap on my avatar, but that's as far as I go! If you lose, you will have to allow me to pick a hat for your avatar. Check out @amoyal =)

@douglaskarr I posted it on the site. Since I have been honing my twitter ninja skills, I have neglected my blogging skills. There is a lot more that could be done with http://Indianapolis.twestival.com , if I only knew how.

Veronica Pejril is @fluffthebunny (if you don't know her's was the first tweet in the #Indiana tweet stream). Pick a place, Fluff, and make it your own. Send me the info and I will post. Where are you going to eat on the 12th? Are you going out to a disco? haha... whatever works.

Wherever, Whenever 2 tweeters meet on the 12th -- be sure to reflect and tweet #TWINdy09 --- We have clean drinking water in Indiana, a luxury for WAY too many people, and that is a cause for celebration!
