Big and small pups are welcome. We have had quite a few puppy tweet-ups in the past and they have been a lot of fun, so please join us!

Contact @mayor_of_twtr or @valette with questions

Please join us for a farewell Tweetup for our dear sweet @hogbiker. That infectious laugh, the humorous one-liners. If you knew him, you loved him. Come out and tell us a story about Karl and meet many of the people who knew and loved him.

• Where: Bernie’s Bungalow Lounge (626 D St, Anchorage AK 99501)
• When: Thursday, June 30 from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Come out and have some dinner, drinks and fellowship to honor our friend Karl.

Kids are welcome with parents (up to 9:00 p.m.). We are set to have a bar open for us on the patio, but they will move us upstairs and inside if the weather isn’t so great.

We will have a donation jar for the family if you are so inclined. Or you can send donations via PayPal to Karl’s daughter: crowbreak@gmail.com. Finally, @jmproffitt will be on hand to swipe your credit or debit card for donations if you’re short on cold, hard cash.

If you’re planning on coming, please REGISTER online here so we can prepare for the right size crowd.

We hope to see you there!

• When: Tuesday, December 21 at 6pm (game starts at 6:30) until 8-8:30 depending on game
• Where: In the Community Room in the downtown Kaladi Brothers on 6th

If you plan on attending, please DM @robotkarateman to RSVP before the 21st so we can have numbers ready for everyone. Suggested gift price is $10-$20, give or take depending on your budget. Alcoholic items are welcome but, please, no “adult” items. This will be a family-friendly event. Also, please wrap your gifts so that it’s not obvious what they are.

The Rules

• Everyone brings a present
• Presents are all placed in a pile at one of the room
• Everyone gets a random number
• Play begins with #1 and continues until everyone’s gotten a present
• On your turn you can pick an unclaimed present to unwrap or you can steal a present already taken by someone else
• If someone steals your present, you get another turn
• Presents can only be stolen 3 times (i.e. have a maximum of 4 owners) before becoming “safe”
• Safe presents cannot be stolen
• You cannot steal a present back from the person who stole it from you
• Player #1 ends the game by choosing to keep the present they’ve ended up with or swapping their present with any present not already safe

The cost is $14 per person and this includes shoes. Please bring cash or check for me.

We are on the drinking side so this means NO KIDS. Also, please do not forget your ID.

I will be there at 8 to have a drink and we need to check in between 8:30 and 8:45 so we can get wrist bands.

If you need something before then you can reach me via Twitter @mayor_of_twtr !

See you crazy cats there!

–

It’s been a while since we’ve had a tweet-up so here’s your chance to get out and see/meet some tweeps!

Come out for a classic (is it?) bowling tweet-up this Saturday (11/13) at 8:00 p.m. at Jewel Lake Bowl!

We will bowl for a couple of hours, have a drink and some laughs! I will be reserving lanes, so if you can go send me an @ or a DM on Twitter and let me know! (@mayor_of_twtr)

We are meeting at Mad Myrna’s for the Friday night Diva Show that starts at 9:00 p.m. So come and get your gay on, get your groove on or hell just come by have a drink and say hello!

We will be there long after the Diva show I am sure, so if you want to come after the show, feel free!

Hope to see you there!

Everyone is invited, let’s make this one big tweet-up!

I just went back to look and see when our last Alaska Tweets photo tweetup took place, and surprisingly that answer is never!

So why don’t you join us in being a part of Alaska Tweets history!

Whether you have a point and click, a mid sized, a big daddy camera or no camera at all! You are invited to join us Friday July, 23 at the @KaladiBrothers downtown at 6:00 p.m. We’ll likely hang around until 6:30 for those who can’t make it on the hour.

From there we will meander around Downtown Anchorage taking photos of people and places and things. You are welcome to stay as long or as little as you would like.

I will put up a poll as the date approaches to see who we should expect. Hope to see you there!

To take place on Sunday, May the second, from two o’clock to five o’clock in the afternoon

Gather at Bella Boutique on Spenard Road (with overflow if necessary in Sugarspoon Alaska next door)

Dress code: fancy summer tea party (inasmuch as it pleases you). Dresses, hats, summer suits, your finest shoes, pinkies up.

No cost is involved, but this event is BYOT: Bring Your Own Teacup. And bring some pocket change for a small charitable donation to a politically neutral charity doing good (and sustainable) work in the developing world, where our tea comes from. Also consider a small purchase from our kind host, Bella Boutique.

This event is a friendly gathering open to people of all political beliefs, provided they agree to be supremely polite and civil to one another and enjoy the company of peers all afternoon. Talking politics or religion at a party is of course extremely rude, and you know your grandmother would not tolerate it; therefore it will be frowned upon.

This gathering is dedicated to the proposition that manners matter, and that with them people of widely varying political beliefs can be civil to one another, enjoy each other’s company, and coexist within a democratic nation despite their differences. It is also dedicated to the wearing of pretty dresses and dessert.

Tea Party members, Republicans, Moderates, Democrats, Communists, and Anarchists are all invited to come politely celebrate the privilege of being free to hold our own beliefs and uphold our duty to coexist without violence or hatred. Coexistence is of course made easier with the aid of truffles, finger sandwiches, a short moratorium on talking politics at a party, and tea.

Please RSVP via Facebook or the @AlaskaTweets website. This is open to the public, and if lots and lots show up, we will overflow happily and peaceably into Sugarspoon next door.

This event is informally put together/inspired by some folks in the Anchorage Twitter community, though it’s open to the public. See @alaskatweets for more details.

(If you’re out of the Anchorage area, consider holding a Polite Tea Party of your own! Sometimes the ultimate political protest is apolitical. Nobody ever changed anyone else’s mind about an issue with picket signs and slurs, only with civil discourse. And more than I believe in any other political idea, I believe in civil discourse. And I believe that right now it’s endangered.)

We do need some volunteer assistance in Anchorage to make this party happen. Please comment if you’re able to assist with any of the following things. Break out the china and silver you’ve been dying to use:

* A few compact folding chairs and wooden TV trays
* Linens and cutlery (no paper or plastic would be lovely if possible)
* Teapots and tea, and hot pots or small electric burners to heat water
* Home-baked tea party goodies: scones, finger sandwiches, truffles, cookies
* Tea fixings: sugar cubes, sweeteners, cream, and containers for tea service
* Setup/cleanup help
* Collecting charity donations & ensuring the donation is made

Please comment here or at the Facebook invitation to assist!

Who: Alaska tweets & friends
What: puppy tweetup/nature walk
When: Sunday, April 25 at 11 a.m.
Where: Klutina dog park off of Muldoon & Pioneer
Why: because spring is here and we and our dogs (and treylaw1) need to have fun, enjoy the great outdoors, look for eagles, and maybe get a little dirty.

You can respond to @kpearso3 or comment here if you are interested in attending!

This is what Jamie had to say about Allie:

She’ll be 14 next month. I’ve had her since she was 8 weeks old — my first baby. She has lymphoma (lymph node cancer) now. She’s on steroids and may be around for a few more days or weeks. She’s a tough pit bull, but cancer is evil.

I have met Allie, she is as sweet as they come. Please bring yourself, dogs and cameras.

We will be meeting on Sunday 3/21 at 2:00 p.m. at Klutina Dog Park.

Please tweet @mayor_of_twtr if you can attend so we know to expect you. Don’t forget to give @jamielang and @beardedjon a Twitter hug.

Please join my daughter (Lily) and I at Century Theaters on Thursday night (March11) at 7:00 p.m. for a trip down the rabbit hole!

I have loved Tim Burton since the beginning and I know a lot of you are fans as well. Alice in Wonderland has been a favorite since I was a little girl and I can’t wait to see what Tim (yes, we’re on a first name basis) has masterminded for this flick.

If you have never been to a 3-D movie, be prepared to be astounded (as well as pay a lot, WORTH IT!) because as I sat watching Coraline in 3-D, I felt like my grandparents probably felt the first time the saw a T.V. It was the magic.

Please note that you will NEED TO Fandango tickets or purchase them at Century in advance since it seems to be such popular movie (AND IN 3-D! ZOMG!).

Meet in the lobby at 6:00 so we have time to say our hello’s and get treats/seats.

If you would like to come leave a comment here or direct message @mayor_of_twtr (Rachel) so we know to expect you.

Please remember this is a kid friendly event, but Tim tends to be on the dark side of productions, so if your little one scares easily it may be best to leave them at home.

Go to your crawl space, get your aluminum pole and join @Mayor_of_Twtr and @Clusterfarce this Friday, December 18 from 8:30 until we’re done at The Blue Fox for some karaoke in preparation for December 23 — also known as FESTIVUS.

You can speak frankly about each other’s karaoke performance to practice for:

THE AIRING OF GRIEVANCES

Challenge someone to a fight in preparation for:

THE FEATS OF STRENGTH

Join us Friday, December 18 from 8:30 until we’re done at The Blue Fox for what promises to be an interesting evening! Just remember, the celebration isn’t over until the Head of Household is wrestled to the floor and pinned!
