Please join Todd Jordan, aka @tojosan, and myself, @execbp, for this week’s edition of the Bring a Tweep to Lunch series of tweet-ups. This week we are meeting at Dave and Buster’s in Earth City. (If you find the event on the calendar, there is a map and more details.)

These events are meant to be fun and informal. They are a chance to get to know a few other local Twitter users (Tweeps) over lunch in a relaxed, friendly setting. It doesn’t hurt to bring a couple business cards, either.

Please try to join us! If you have any questions, send a Tweet to me or Todd, leave a comment, or send over an email.

The Bring a Tweep To Lunch description is spot on Greg. And they aren't about me. I'd love to think folks get hooked on them and continue them on their own.

St. Louis SEO, i'd love to see folks host them on other days and times. Greg's idea to do something more formal is a must. These Friday events are meant to be informal and an introduction to the idea of regular gatherings and sharing.

The Friday works out great for some, not so great for others. Heck, Thursday might be better for most, but not for me. If someone wants to take them to Thu, I'd encourage them to step up and rock on. I'll be supporting them in spirit when I can't attend.

My next project is going to spin off to some breakfasts, less scheduled, and still informal.

For the small biz events, I say we should schedule one in July Greg and make it happen.

At least for the summer, I believe it will always be on Fridays. Todd conceived of the event in the first place because he only works half days on Fridays during the summer. (lucky him) And I don't say that to imply he planned these meetups in a self serving manner, because he did not, but rather that was the thought process that lead to the idea to begin with.

That said, I have been thinking about some ideas with the goal of putting together a slightly more formal networking type of thing for tweeting business owners, especially ones in tech fields. Nothing firm yet, but looking to probably start that up in September.

Any interest or input on that would be welcome.
