Next week, we will be going to an impromptu Tweetup at Rudy’s on 183 North where we’ll eat barbeque and chit chat with everyone there. There are usually between 20 and 100 people depending on the date, time and organization, so you never know what you’re in for. Click here for all the details- @agentgenius and @laniar will be there representin’ @newmedialab!
