December Central PA Tweetup

Mark your iCal — 12/18 is the date for December’s Harrisburg Tweetup.  We meet on the third Thursday of every month at the Abbey Bar, upstairs at Appalachian Brewing Company in Harrisburg.  The official time is 7pm - 9pm, but we sometimes come early and almost always have a few stragglers stay late.  The Tweetups are open to anyone from Central PA (not just Harrisburg) who has a Twitter account or a blog.  Read on for the scoop.

Central PA Tweetup: January 2009

Our next installment in the monthly Harrisburg Tweetup begins at 7pm on January 21st, 2009.

Remember, we’ve moved the date:  Tweetups are held on the third Wednesday of every month, upstairs at Appalachian Brewing Company (aka The Abbey Bar).  We’ve been pulling around 20-30 people every month, but there’s always room for a few more.  As always, there’s plenty of WiFi on tap along with ABC’s delicious delicious house brews.  The food menu is a touch on the pricey side, but just about everything (Grizzly Bear Chili excluded) is 27 different kinds of awesome.

See you there!

Re-up the Tweetup

December’s Central PA Tweetup is still going on as always — tonight (12/18/08) at Appalachian Brewing Company, starting around 7pm and ending around … well, whenever.  Nothing has changed.  And even though some forecasts are calling for yet another OMG STORM OF THE CENTURY, we’ll be out there regardless.  Tonight’s tweetup is important not only because it’s the last one of 2008 — the year in which we first started having Harrisburg Tweetups — but also because there will be a handful of important topics being discussed:

Steve & Buried

That’s the best I can do at coming up with a headline.  My favorite store of all time, Steve & Barry’s, is going under for good.  Last week they announced that they had $100-$500 million in debt against $50,000 in assets.  That’s right; fifty thousand dollars against as much as half a billion dollars in debt.  Yikes.  Somehow their business strategy of selling everything in the store for $8 or less and carrying twice the inventory of your average Old Navy just didn’t work out. If you’ve not yet been to Steve & Barry’s, I have two pieces of advice:

November Tweetup - Tonight!

In what will no doubt prove to be a record-setting last-minute notice, the Harrisburg Tweetup is happening tonight from 7 to 9pm at Appalachian Brewing Company on Cameron St.  As always, we’ll be upstairs in the Abbey Bar.  Of course, since we have these regularly on the third Thursday of every month in the same place and at the same time, you already knew all that.

And It All Draws To A Close

Just two quick notes before I head off for celebrations, as our 2008 presidential election draws to a close.
