What is #BATHH? #BATHH is an acronym for "Big Ass Twitter Happy Hour" (yes, cuss word included, we're in the South, yous guys!) held monthly in Austin and free for all to attend. There are no sponsors and no one trying to sell you anything, just a room full of people that want to get offline and put faces to names of people they've met online. Follow all attendees with one click: If you attended this month or simply want to connect with other people in Austin on Twitter, simply CLICK HERE to follow everyone that went to the July #BATHH!

Who went to #BATHH in May and who is coming in June?
17 June 2010
Last month's #BATHH Each month, we host what we've lovingly named the "Big Ass Twitter Happy Hour" (BATHH) where people come from the internet to meet offline. No one is selling anything, there are no speakers or sponsors, everyone just comes together to mingle and get to know each other and it's a brilliant networking opportunity because it is a passive happy hour. It's so passive that not everyone signs in or wears a nametag (which is actually required to get into this free yet private event). That said, last month, we were able to wrangle nearly 150 people at the sign in table (which is lovingly run by volunteers) and if you want a great group of people to ...

February Twitter Happy Hour – #BATHH
16 February 2010
Austin's Twitter Happy Hour This month's Twitter Happy Hour was held at The Ginger Man on 3rd Street in downtown Austin and despite the rain, the bouncer (is that the right word to use these days?) said there were nearly 300 people in the door, about 20 of which weren't affiliated with the Twitter Happy Hour. Parking was insane and the rain and cold were very un-Austin, but several hundred people still showed up, proving that although we LOVE the Ginger Man, we've outgrown the venue. Follow everyone that was there with one click! Want to follow everyone that went to the event? Even if you didn't go, no worries, the point is for networking and that can be ...

The February Tweetup is coming up and we need help! I'm awful at manning the sign in table because I float around all hostess-y like, so I'm looking for help in hour blocks. All volunteers have to do is stand at the sign in table, guide people to making their name badges with their Twitter names on them and signing in with their Twitter name. Hell, we'll buy you a beer for volunteering, so why not? Spots to ...
