Roller Derby Tweetup & Post-Derby Tweetup (Sat, Oct 24)
Several of the Anchorage Twitter crew met up at the Rage City Rollergirls roller derby event to see the bone-crushing action, Action, ACTION! But it turns out the Rollergirls are a huge draw and the venue wasn’t nearly big enough to hold everyone. It was standing room only for most of us and the space didn’t lend itself to hanging out with your tweeps.
Still, it was an adventure and quite a folks turned out. Then a group of us gathered afterward at @pianchorage for drinks and snacks — including @cpennylane, who attended her very first Tweetup!
Lots of photos from the Roller Derby Tweetup are posted to the Alaska Tweets Photo Pool.
