#DCTweetup was finally hosted inside the District at Cleveland Park Bar & Grill. What a great venue for our first DC-based Tweetup. The owners gave us incredible deals on drinks, extended their happy hour to 8 including $3 beers, $4 glasses of wine and $13 bottles of wine along with giving our group 50% off all appetizers. The waitress and bartender were always getting more drinks and bringing out food without needing to be searched for showing us what great staff truly are. We felt very welcome taking over the front half of their bar and enjoyed an evening of fantastic networking and building new friendships.

The crowd was 80% new and 20% regulars as this was the first time we entertained the DC folks in their own territory. Tweeters from DC, Maryland and Virginia attended representing businesses of all types including executive recruiters, wine importers, web developers, hairstylists, Public Relations firms, and so much more.

Those who came together quickly realized that their hostess, Melanie, would not allow them to only speak to each other and were introduced to everyone attending. Introverts and extroverts alike were able to network and make friends with their neighbors throughout the evening.

The tweeting that followed told Sisarina that the event was a big success while everyone was asking about upcoming dates for future #DCTweetups. Although a #BagelTweetup is now set for the last Wednesday morning of every month at Georgetown Bagelry, a schedule of future #DCTweetups is being pulled together with local restaurants and will be announced soon.

Don’t forget to follow those you met at the event and if you were unable to make it, follow those you will meet in the future below. We look forward to your future attendance at #DCTweetup, #DCTwirlies and the new #BagelTweetup.

What is #DCTweetup?
#DCTweetup is a ‘non’-networking event for locals to put a face to a Twitter handle. It’s a relaxing evening of networking with your neighbors, local business owners and meeting new friends. This is not your typical ’state what you do & hand over your business card’ event. #DCTweetup is for the introverted & extroverted alike to share in great conversation, relationship-building and fun.

Visions Restaurant and @cheftony put their 3rd of our 6 #DCTweetup's on the map. The ambiance was relaxing and comfortable as people started streaming in. A lot of return attendees along with many new faces made for a fun evening of networking and reconnecting.

Halfway through the evening, Tony gave away $10, $25 and $50 gift certificates to his restaurant. Those who won were incredibly happy to receive these and try out other new items on his menu. As always, we are happy to give away coupons, gift certificates and other fun merchandise for business owners attending or hosting the Tweetups.

Although we always have a great time at Visions, Tony pulled out all the stops this time with his now-famous mojitos and giving us a sampling of his new menu.The Maryland Crab Mac&Cheese along with the spicy ribs were achingly delicious and THEN he brought out the catfish. We were all stuffed and happy by the time the evening was over. We all highly recommend Visions Restaurant if you are looking for lunch or dinner plans in Bethesda.

Bardeo, sister bar to Ardeo Restaurant, hosted an incredible #DCTweetup on Tuesday, December 1. The great selection of wine, eclectic array of beers and delicious small plates were just a small piece of the evening. The networking and smiling faces made it obvious that it was a successful event. Melanie received many thanks at the end of the evening for hosting such a helpful evening of networking while she reminded them that it was the people that made the party, not the planner.

The bar was packed to the point that the locals were giving dirty looks to the crowd of people swarming in their quiet local happy hour spot. Twitter friends became IRL friends and everyone left with a new connection or three. Now it's time to go follow all the people you met!

Our biggest #DCTweetup event so far included approx 50 fabulous DC Metro Area Twitter-folk who came out just as the rain decided to dump on Bethesda on Tuesday, August 18. Between the rain and the Red-line Metro delays due to another cracked rail, we realized that this was something worth braving anything for. Chef Tony put on quite the event by laying out a spread of hummus, focaccia and grilled veggies for our delight. The Hummingbird Mojitos were a huge hit again and the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement. Lots of new people came while some #DCTweetup regulars came back for more.

Not to toot Sisarina’s horn (alright, I think this is cool), but the event went so well that even avid-networker Steve with Driven to Excel commented on how this was one of the best ‘non’-networking events he’s ever been to. He said that the first question out of people’s mouths upon meeting him was NOT ‘what do you do?’, which is very typical for normal networking. Conversations ranged from faith to party planning to massage therapy to future Twirlies events. Even Michele & Gary sat down to have dinner partway through and got to know each other better.

At 7pm, Chef Tony gave away two $50 gift certificates and 5 $10 gift certificates to Visions Restaurant. The lucky winners are all ecstatic to go back and have a great dinner. If they go on Tuesdays or Sundays, they even get half-priced wine! (ANYone can get half-priced bottles of wine but they were there and won so they get an even better deal!)

The party lasted until 9:30 with many lingering on through midnight. To call it a success is an understatement according to many. Check out all the pictures from the #DCTweetup 4 event.

We’re looking forward to the next #DCTweetup in the District at Cleveland Park Bar & Grill on September 9 at Cleveland Park Metro Stop. In the meantime, start following all the people you met or the people you wanted to meet.

What an incredible Tweetup! After last week’s tweets about @pulpologist coming in her undies and then other tweeps wondering about where to purchase fab undies for the tweetup, it became undies-optional. The tweets were beyond hilarious, spanning from thrift store and yard sale undie purchasing to tears of laughter rolling around the Twitter-board. @boones6433, @themamateresa, @sisarina and @abbeyk1005 joined @pulpologist for awhile. Turned into a hilarious Friday afternoon – all because of a Tweetup posting by @marybealladler found at: Bagelicious Blog 7/10/09 – I love this stuff!

Tuesday evening started out with the fabulous @MaryBeallAdler and @sisarina getting together to chat about her future marketing needs with the artsy side of Mary’s life. Shortly after, @dariasteigman came by and soon after the place was full of twirlies like @DBMC, @WDCGardener, @cedarwaxwing, @banjobunny, @pulpologist, @ddkurcfeld, @abbeyk1005, Laura at @LindaRothPR, and @LPSRocks. @jedsalawyer stopped by and was pronounced the token man for awhile until Guy & Methee from @zentaratea came by. @MaryBeallAdler’s husband stopped in for some chatting, networking and a quick bite to eat. Newbies @chairisy and @freedom2create got in on the action while @themamateresa and @gracecunning (concert-goers) ‘graced’ us with their presence. Laura of the @redaphidmedia team (from our first tweetup) got into the conversations quickly while newbie @EvilGenius0001 enjoyed conversations with all the fab tweeters. @putitaway stopped by in the last hour to chat with us before heading off to another Tweetup (she knows how to work the evenings in DC).

We all have to thank @MaryBeallAdler for being SUCH a gracious hostess by giving us all FREE FOOD and FREE DRINKS! High end sodas and juices were aplenty while she put out tons of teasers and made everyone custom bagel sandwiches and pizzas. By the end of the evening, she gave everyone who was left a bag of bagels to take home as a gift. Even @zentaratea gave away great tea and were so happy they joined us. The night was a huge success with talks of #DCTwirlies tweetups and the excitement of coming to another Bethesda Tweetup in August at a fab locale (still TBD). @zentaratea even posted a photo and blurb about us!

If you missed it, you missed a really relaxed, engaging networking event that even non-networkers enjoyed and are excited to come to again. @MaryBeallAdler’s generosity for letting us use her space along with just GIVING us so much food was beyond words.

The second DC Area Bethesda Tweetup was graciously hosted by Tony @cheftony at his American restaurant, Visions. As Visions is closed on Mondays, the Tweetup was a closed event allowing tweeps to meet without the worry of mingling with non-tweeps.

Robin Yasinow (@robinyasinow) and Teresa Thomas from Sisarina (@themamateresa) spent the evening greeting all who entered at the door with big smiles and cheeriness. Armband nametags came back out for the event and names/handles were displayed proudly for all to see. A few handleless folks came in to find out what all the buzz was about and they were greeted with open arms.

A special menu was setup just for the evening and the Twitter ‘duck’ had his nametag securely fastened to his fuzz. The Hummingbird Mojito was the most ordered drink of the evening, also happily enjoyed by hostess, Melanie (@sisarina). The food was fantastic between the chicken, hummus, and filet on a stick. Tony even brought out a chocolate truffle cake that was super delish!

By the end of the evening, we had more than doubled the first Tweetup and at 8pm there were still 15 people enjoying drinks, food and conversation! Half of the core group made it back for #2 and a few brought tweeps (@boones6433 even brought a newbie non-tweep!) For those of you who missed it, chat up those who made it to find out what a great time they had (it’s ok, you’re allowed to feel bad for missing it).

On January 28, 2010, Zen Tara Tea invited Sisarina's group to their brand new retail store for a tea tasting. What we got was way more than just a tea tasting.  Several local Asian restaurants, including TaiPei 101 and Tara Thai, provided delectible finger foods to complement the flavors of the many teas and Zen Tara's owner, Guy, enlightened us all with a short presentation about tea.  Most attendees left with new tea, new friends and a renewed feeling of Zen.

Teas at Zen Tara Tea change with the seasons.  We'll definitely be back!

During the event, host Guy was covertly filming.  He had this short video edited and up by the next morning.  Great work, Guy!

"Up on the roof!"

"The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire!"

"I see a mansard roof through the trees…"

The Drifters, Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three and Vampire Weekend have all musically expressed their interest in rooftops, but until you’ve actually experienced the roof scapes of Cleveland Park while socializing with fabulous and fun people on a hot April night, all you have is a song.

Last night our #DCTweetup brought together 88 spectacular individuals gathered on the roof of Cleveland Park Bar & Grill for drinks and conversation. All the elements came together – weather, location and of course, people – to make it an exciting and memorable event. People are still talking about it!

Whether you are a social media enthusiast or a curious surveyor, everyone was welcome! Thanks to all that came up on the roof for a wonderful night. We hope to see you again at one of our next ones! NOLA Brunch on 4/18 or the TEDxPotomac Pre-Party #DCTweetup (coming soon!)

In the meantime, if you like the event so much that you want to help us plan our next one (and the one after that) please consider applying to be our Summer Events Coordinator Intern. It’s unpaid, but you’ll have the opportunity to plan your own signature, end-of-the summer bash!

Many of DC's brightest and coolest gathered last Thursday night at the incredibly chic Lima Restaurant and Lounge for the TEDxPotomac pre-party.

With 325 on the guest list and 200 attendees, speakers, organizers and friends, TEDxPotomac Pre-Party became the place to be in DC on May 6.

The amazing staff at Lima made sure that everyone was taken care of and the event was smooth & easy. 

Nakeva of Nightlife PR (with a little help from Charlotte Swann and James Wisnieski)  made sure the party was well-documented and Sisarina's own Melanie made sure that every clique was well distributed.

On Thursday, June 17th, amid a week full of techie conferences, seminars, and other tweetups, a small handful of people decided to find solitude in Kathy (@WDCgardener)’s personal garden. The weather was absolutely perfect for a night with wine, munchies, and flowers. Not only was this a night to enjoy the weather and each other’s company but also a night to raise awareness and money for a great cause.

Kathy took donations in the form of cash or seeds, some people even brought plants from their own gardens, to help Plant a Row (PAR) for the Hungry, an organization that provides fresh produce to local food banks, soup kitchens and service organizations. The donations totaled $33 plus several tomato seedlings and assorted other plants. Kathy had already set up the planter and gave us all a tour of her beautiful garden as well as the planter bed. Who knew someone could create such a beautiful garden in downtown Silver Spring? What a great cause, garden and company to enjoy!

Wednesday, June 30th brought on perfect weather for what Mashable.com had deemed as Social Media Day, and for those in the DC area, it was celebrated very appropriately - with music, partying, a joyous crowd, raffles, and more.

Sisarina (@Sisarina) and Lisa Byrne (@DCeventjunkie) partnered up to throw a social media party of epic proportions. Although there were countrywide celebrations afoot, over 200 people registered, and over 150 people showed up to pack @ScienceClub to max capacity while DJ Lil’ Elle (@djlilelle) rocked the house with her incredible spinning talent. Cameras, iphones and Blackberries were out in full force making it every social media lovers dream. Metromix showed up & captured fun moments toward the end of the evening.

What is social media day? by Mashable

On Tuesday, July 20, Sisarina hosted yet another fabulous #DCTweetup, this time at Urbana Wine Bar & Restaurant in the Dupont Circle area. On a hot mid-summer evening, we were able to beat the heat and celebrate a fantastic social media event as well as Urbana’s 4th birthday.

The Urbana #DCTweetup featured tons of specials including red and white wine, sangria, and a special cocktail, the Kentucky Picnic, which was on the menu to celebrate Urbana’s 4th birthday. What better way to spend a Tuesday night than with a large group of new and old friends, and sangria. And what a group it was! Urbana was packed with nearly 80 social media guru’s, keeping the waitresses and the conversations hopping.

Overheard by a number of attendees: “This is the best #DCTweetup yet!”  Well… just wait til August!

We look forward to seeing you at the next @Sisarina event.
