I have been to three or four of these events- er, can’t really remember because it is always such a good time. Of course, I am talking about the monthly #denvertweetup. It’s a gathering of like-minded twitter users who enjoy adult beverages and giving to a cause. As you probably already know, tweetups are super cool because you get to meet new people in the area who you may have not had the opportunity to meet otherwise (at least IRL). Non-twitter peeps are always welcome, although I do find that “tweetup” is the word most often made fun of by folks not using the service. I say fuck that. Tweetups are awesome, and you should go whether you’re on twitter or not.
This month, which is a pre-holiday celebration, will be held at the Rackhouse Pub and will feature Trivia & Toys for Turkeys. Toys for actual turkeys you say? Are turkeys answering the trivia questions? No. That would be silly. The charitable organization chosen for the month of November is the Denver Santa Claus Shop. They help make the holidays a little bit more awesome for underprivileged families here in Denver. In order to get in, they are asking for one unwrapped toy, as long as they meet the toy guidelines. And If you can’t get to the store for a toy, a donation of $5 or more will still work. Then there is the trivia…
At 8pm sharp- Geeks Who Drink’s most fantastically popular and awesome quizmaster, RedheadWriting, will be hosting a fun round of the quiz. So make sure to get there early and form your team of 6. DearRedhead will also be there giving away prizes along with the chance to win Rackhouse Pub GCs, a gift basket from Cru Jones Society, Stranahan’s bottle service, and other cool stuff.
As if it couldn’t be any more awesome, Stranahan’s is offering three distillery tours throughout the night (7:00/7:45/8:30), and a number of healthy drink specials from 6:45 -10:00.
***You must RSVP for this event, and remember- bring money to tip and do not drink and drive.
