Focus on Chris Brogan
We held a Tweetup in O’Fallon Missouri. Attendance was good. There was a guest celebrity. Out-of-towners showed up. Heck, the food and the beer were even good. But it’s a miracle it worked out so well. I totally goofed up the part about having a guest out.
Here’s how not to successfully have a guest at your Tweetup
- Give the guest a one day notice about the Tweetup.
- Only plan the Tweetup two days ahead of time.
- Don’t guarantee a ride out to the Tweetup for the guest.
- Expect the guest to find a restaurant almost 40 miles down the highway from their motel.
- Don’t remember to treat your guest.
- Introduce your guest as if everyone there actually knows him or her.
- Don’t even offer the guy a beer.
- Oh yeah, and take pictures of your guest eating. That’s always a winner.
Yeah, I hit about all of the faux pas of having some one out to my neck of the woods. But this particular guest, Chris Brogan, seemed to deal with it quite well.
Chris, it was great having you out. Next dinner is one me, and I’ll even spot for the beer. Oh, and yeah, no more 40 mile sojourns.
Thanks for joining the fun folks out in St. Charles County Missouri. That was our first ever Tweetup.
