Looking for a good excuse to nosh on some deep fried Twinkies? Want to meet a whole bunch of your fellow social media afficianados? Love the State Fair as much as we do?
Then come on down to the first (annual?) Deep Fried Triangle Tweetup, to be held from 7pm to 9pm on Thursday, October 22 in the Folk Festival Tent at the NC State Fair!
You can sample some of the Fair’s fried delicacies, participate in fun activities, hang out with interesting people, win prizes… and benefit charity at the same time. October 22 is also Hunger Relief Day (benefiting the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina), so if you bring four cans of food, you can get free Fair admission. (Sweet!)
If you plan to attend, you will need to register — attendance is limited to the first 500 who sign up, so don’t dilly-dally or you could miss out. You can find the registration form here.
The event will be co-hosted by the State Fair and by Wayne Sutton, Jeff Cohen, Ryan Boyles and Kipp Bodnar from OurHashtag.

Tuesday, February 10th, 10:00 am, Krispy Kreme, Raleigh
Yes, it’s the Tweet Divas, but the Tweet Divas are simply hosting; ALL Tweeple (Diane/@torka sez “Tweet Divas and He-vas”) are invited to come to Krispy Kreme to celebrate the founding of the Hershey Chocolate empire with a chocolate iced custard filled donut, chocolate iced glazed donut, chocolate iced cake donut, chocolate iced glazed cruller, chocolate caramel kreme crunch donut, glazed chocolate cake donut, or a chocolate iced kreme filled donut. You’ll have plenty of choices, and you can celebrate Hershey, ruin your lunch, and catch up with some tweeps, all at the same time. What could be better?
Well, a tour of the factory, of course. So we’ll do that as well. Herman the tour guide will be showing us the whole place at 10 am sharp! Now some of you have already realized (because you keep these dates in your head) that technically the founding of Hershey Chocolate is February 9th, but since we can’t get a Krispy Kreme factory tour on Monday, we moved our tweetup to Tuesday the 10th. We feel comfortable celebrating all week long, in fact. All month. Well, I think you get the idea.
And if you are still feeling hungry after your Krispy Kremes, you can set up your own lunch gatherings to follow.
Oh, yeah: The Krispy Kreme Challenge is the Saturday before our Ruin Your Lunch Tweetup. Those of you who race/gorge/vomit/race or even those of you who support the runners (or even those of you who watch the carnage on video) may not want to got to Krispy Kreme a few days later for a Tweetup. We totally understand. Those of us dedicated to chocolate will raise a donut in your honor.

It’s been awhile since the TweetDivas have gotten together, we know. Plans are afoot for a TweetDiva gathering soon (stay tuned!), but in the meantime…
Our friends at TriangleTweetup.com have announced plans for the first Triangle Tweetup of 2009, on January 29, 7pm at Edge Office. I know some of our Divas will be there, so if you can, come on down and Tweetup!
And for the early birds among us, there’s a Social Media Breakfast on January 21, 7:45am at Café Carolina in Cameron Village. If you can crack your eyelids open early enough to make it, come on down. Be sure to RSVP in the comments section at the SMBreakfast site to let them know you’re coming so they can plan for enough space.
See y’all there!

Dig out your little black dress and that fab feather boa; it’s time to meet the Girls over at Solas — Glenwood South’s hottest new night spot — for a Bellini or an Old Fashioned.
The date is August 28th, the time is 7 pm. There IS a dress code so show your swank, ladies! We’re planning to gather in the rooftop lounge, but we hear there is a glass dance floor on the second level and it may be necessary to test it out!
If you are planning to go, you can leave a comment here (and tell us what your favorite glam cocktail is!), or you can add your name to the Triangle TweetUp wiki. And of course, you can always just show up in style. See all you frock-princesses there!

On July 11, 2008, seven amazing “Women Who Twitter” met for our first TweetDivas lunch at the Rockford on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh. What a terrific gathering!
As it turns out, we’re a pretty diverse group. The food, the conversation and the group were all wonderful – and we’re all looking forward to our next opportunity to get together.
Thanks to Lisa for organizing this gathering and to Teri for suggesting the venue!
