I would love to attend and meet some of my up-island compadres but my own district of Parksville-Qualicum is having one of their rare tweet-ups that very same day.
Hey Dan, thanks for the post, and for letting me know about the Parksville-Qualicum TweetUp on October 29th at 12:00 noon. Same day as ours on the 29th at 5:30 p.m. Great chatting with you on the phone, and finding out about your MAC services. I’ll help spread the word about the PQ TweetUp as well, and likely drive down and join you for FUN!
Brenda
Thanx for the invite. Will be out of town though, so I won’t be able to make it this time.
Good luck, and hopefully there will be another opportunity.
Thanks Carla! And thanks for popping by my blog. I am sure this is only the first of many more TweetUps to come, in the Comox Valley. So I am sure we will see you around at one of them, and of course online, on Twitter 🙂
