Friday Drinks - Lincoln tweetup over a jar or two

3 bottles of bourbon, a steam train on Sunday and an awesome #FridayDrinks

So another #FridayDrinks down and what a night it was; I believe a good time was had by all. Some new faces with @luke_morton and @calum_fuller making an appearance as well as @sonofareaperman and @Thucydides_uk (who I must thank for the loan of his speakers). Thanks as always to the Adam and Eve for letting us use the front room. Next event is the 5th of March (see details below) and I hope to see you all there.
Cheers
Pip
PS Just to clarify myself and @jethrobelman did not technically stop partying until about midnight Saturday, cos thats how we roll! ;-)

First FridayDrinks of the new decade

So the first #FridayDrinks of 2010 and the new decade was a jolly affair with some new faces (@Alex Bilbie and James Doc) and plenty of old ones, including a surprise appearance from the Horncastle mob. Thanks once again to the Adam and Eve for hosting and to @jethrobelman for the loan of his laptop for the evening, providing the music and Russ Abbot style 'atmosphere' via Spotify. Next tweet up will February 5th at the Adam and Eve again. I hope to see you all there.

Cheers
Pip

January #FridayDrinks postponement

Due to the snow, well more likely the resulting ice, we've taken a quick poll and decided to postpone tonight's #FridayDrinks until the 15th of January. Of course we'll monitor the situation next week so watch this space if the weather decides to stay on the chilly side.

Christmas #FridayDrinks Tweetup Review

I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking that our Christmas #FridayDrinks tweetup was a success, thanks in no small part to @PipWilson and @jethrobelman setting up streaming music from a shared spotify play list thanks to @lostmoya.
Also, gratitude goes the the Adam and Eve for supplying a quality buffet - nothing but good words were had...

Christmas Market
There was a suggestion made that some tweeps might like to hookup this coming Friday (4th Dec) to drink in the atmosphere of the Lincoln Christmas Market.
You could think of this as a pseudo #FridayDrinks - there was talk about possibly meeting at The Victoria - this is to be confirmed as is the time for anyone wanting to tweetup. It might be an idea to use this blog post to organise and perhaps use the hash tag #LincCmasMkt?

And finally, If I don't see you before - Have a fantastic Christmas and a very merry New Year... Justin

November #FridayDrinks Tweetup Review

Our fourth #FridayDrinks was an intimate affair, almost the calm before the storm you might say, in preparation for our christmas tweetup on the 27th of November.

Christmas #FridayDrinks
As you might know, we'll be having a little buffet at the next #FridayDrinks, the winning vote was for Menu B, however due to the low numbers we didn't take payment at the tweetup. If you voted, can you make sure that you bring your £6.95 with you on the 27th or get it to either @JustinReid or @PipWilson (they'll be covering the tab and it'd be nice to make sure they're not out of pocket). If you didn't vote and would like to be included then tweet either of them as soon as possible.

Conkers Tweetup
Following the last #FridayDrinks of the year (Christmas tweetup), there's a tweetup at Conkers in the National Forest South Derbyshire. ConkerTU is a free event and "will serve as the social media hub for sustainability". There are a few people who have expressed an interest in going. If you are thinking of going or would like to, please comment below and say if your driving and willing to have some tweeps accompany you (being a sustainability tweetup - car sharing would make sense).

Calendar
By now you'll have realised that the 27th of November is serving as our Christmas tweetup and is in fact our last of 2009. We'll be celebrating the New Year on the 8th of January 2010. So put it in your calendar now...

October #FridayDrinks Tweetup Review

The third #FridayDrinks proved to hold it's own, even against the comedy festival. Thanks once again to the guys at the Adam and Eve tavern for hosting us.

Here's a couple of few things coming out of the evening for your consideration...

  • Christmas tweetup
    First touted last month, most peeps agree that it'd be good to do something for Christmas.
    It seems that the best idea would be to do some kind of buffet at the December #FridayDrinks (4th Dec.). There would be a cost to this (assuming the Adam & Eve can accommodate us) - I'd imagine it'd be between £5-£10. If you think this is a good idea, please @me, DM or comment below - it would mean you committing to the evening.
    UPDATE: We may be moving the date or venue for the December FridayDrinks, Please see the comments below for more information and to vote for your preferred option...
  • New Year Tweetup
    The January #FridayDrinks happens to fall on the 1st, I'm guessing peeps will be feeling a little under the weather that day and might not feel like a tweetup. Should we still meet? Should we meet the following Friday or the preceding Friday? Please comment below.
  • WhoIs listing
    I've recently started to put together a list of tweeps and their other online identities. If you are not on the list< ;/a> and would like to be included, please comment here or get in contact by your preferred method.
    Update: You can now follow everyone who's ever attended in one go: http://tweepml.org/FridayDrinks

October #FridayDrinks Tweetup

Following on from the last #FridayDrinks tweetup and the review where we asked the question "should we change venue or times", the response has been to keep it as is.

Next #FridayDrinks Lincoln Tweetup
Date: 2nd October '09
Time: 7.30pm
Venue: Adam & Eve Tavern
 

If you don't know about #FridayDrinks, the main aim is to meet some of the fine folks we all converse with. Beyond that it's the end of the week and the start of the weekend; so why not celebrate! :D

What is it?
The idea is for a casual get together of Lincoln (and surrounding area) Twitter folk. Ha ve a drink and see what comes of it. Beyond meeting up there's no ulterior agenda.

Is this the first? Is it the last?
Tweetups have been going on around the country, heck the world, for the last couple of years. Some more organised than others. Will there be another in Lincoln? Undoubtedly, #FridayDrinks have been going since August '09 with the occasional spin off...

If you can't make this one but are keen to meet up then post a comment below @me or @FridayDrinks (heck or anyone else - this is social media after all...)

Where is it?
See the box above.

Who can come?
You can. Well, the invite strictly speaking is for Lincoln twitter folk - but if you have an interest in social media, feel free... Mmm, if that's the case, why aren't you on twitter?

OK, I'll leave it there - hope you can make it. Any queries; comment below, @me, @FridayDrinks or use/follow the #FridayDrinks tag.

Tell others all about it...
