The Urban Dictionary defines a tweetup as “A gathering of nerds attempting social contact, likely for the first time. Usually disintegrates into everyone running to the nearest computer to type to one another.”
We at TBD know you don’t have to be a nerd – or even be on Twitter- to appreciate a good tweetup, especially if there’s beer involved.
Join some of the TBD staff Tuesday, July 27 from 5:30 to 8 as we attempt social contact (though not for the first time)… over happy hour specials at Whitlow’s on Wilson in Arlington.
WoW’s happy hour specials run from 4-7 pm and include $2 PBR and Miller High Life cans; $3 drafts (not including Guinness); $3 red or white house wine and $3 rail drinks. If you’re hungry, we’ll just happen to be there for $4 Taco Tuesday, you you’ve got that going for you.
TBD staffers will be around to answer your questions, take your suggestions and steal chips from your plate.
You can RSVP at our Facebook page – or just show up and surprise us.

Great idea having this at Whitlows. Should be fun, I love these blogger meetups. Hope you have a good turnout, there’s lots of interesting writers in this area!

I am so sad that 1) I found out about this just now and 2) from Amanda Hess’s goodbye post at the Sexist. Boo. I’m stuck out in MD and can’t make it in. What a sad evening.

Thanks for coming, Lisa. Sorry we didn’t get a chance to meet you Sara (and everyone else who noted they’d like to go but couldn’t).
We plan to have more of these in the future, so keep an eye on the blog and our Facebook page for those announcements.
