Day 1 – Saturday Ready for the Tweet-Up

The biggest drama was at the airport – our flight was delayed due to mechanical failure so I decided it might be better to take a later flight. Met@Steve0verton at the airport and @PhilipB who were both headed to Orlando.  As a result of the later flight we were late to the Tweet-Up so we missed the first round of drinks.  It was sunset when we landed and the weather was mild – very nice for Florida.

We had a lot of fun.  @WaynetteTubbs hosted the even and she had a trivia contest.  I won a LED key chain and some SAS Post-It notes.  I love Post-It notes. Plus I got to meet Anna Maria who writes the sassy Julia Group blog – she’s such a sweetie.  And Andrea Wainwright Zimmerman told me that she was the academic chair for SESUG in St. Pete, FL next year.  I may have to volunteer – sounds like a conference I don’t want to miss. Plus if I’m not mistaken she also won one of the best contributed paper awards.
