Never been to a tweetup? Neither have a LOT of people who are coming! Don't be shy, you can talk to as many or as few people as you want to. Here are 10 simple rules to going to a Tweetup written by @omarg of the Statesman and here is a Geek's Guid to Being Interesting.
Bring your camera and don't forget to tweet about it using "#TwitterHH"!
This is pure, informal fun, so bring a friend or a date and have a beer- let's mingle! Also, we cannot confirm or deny whether or not there will be an AFTERPARTY like last time...
