Comic-Con Tweetup recipes

Comic-Con Tweetup a wild success, tons of pics!

#cctweetup: A few from upstairs

@sdlolo: Omg. (11:11am Thursday)

And that my friends is best recap of the night I’ve heard so far. ;-) Let it be known that starting the evening off with Absinthe from @CurrantSD was both a great idea and a not so great idea. ;-)

Thanks to everyone who helped spread the word, showed up, yelled and screamed, danced, and socialized until the wee hours of the morning. Voyeur took great care of us, and they have an awesome venue for future events!  I received tons of great thank you’s from attendees, and just want to say without you all events like these aren’t possible, so thanks for your support in making them happen!

Again many thanks to my partners and sponsors:

@UTStreet, @SDUT, @SDComicCon and Blue Angel Vodka Vertical Inc. @DLushLife @MonsterMusic @TheSofiaHotel @HolidayMatinee @xsanguin @ChrisCantore @DiscoverSD @PokenPrincess @TheHauntedHotel

Please reach out to the sponsors and let them feel the love – and we’ll be doing more Tweetups soon: Don’t forget that we have the smaller, more intimate “Comic-Con Wine-Down” Tweetup Sunday the 26th 6pm at @SyrahWineParlor, 5th and E St under Dakota Bar and Grill. RSVP here.

- The Syrah Wine-Down Tweetup on Sunday 26th: Join us to celebrate, reminiscence, rewind, and unwind after the crazy 5 day event that is known as Comic-Con.

(I’m also working on a Sights & Sips tWineUp cruise in conjunction with @HornblowerSD, a few North County-ish tWineUps in Solana Beach and other more-North cities, eventually ending with a Wine Tasting Tour of the Temecula Wineries, as well a special sushi Tweetup at two-at-once sushi locations. Stay tuned for more on all that.)

Until next time, see you on Twitter! :-)
