Paperback Swap-Up

@Valette — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 20:49:39 +0000

It’s true that many of us have our faces stuck to whatever to device we tweet with… but many of us also split that time with our faces stuck in a book. And, with that said, can amass stacks of great reads that need a new home. Join @anniepants and @pocketofroofies for a paperback swap!

Paperbacks? Yes.
Hardcovers? Yes.

And for those of you with those new fangled electronic readers, you are more than welcome to swap too (though I really don’t know how that’s done).

The Plan

Kaladi Brothers downtown (621 W 6th Ave) in the Community Room (off the end of the bar)
Sunday, August 29, 2:00 pm
Bring your gently loved books to swap

Deposit your books on a central table and we will very orderly and without too much yelling (they would kick us out) rifle through and grab what we would like to read. Easy peasy. There is no limit to what you can bring or what you can take, we just ask that you play nice and try to be fair. Any unclaimed books at the end of the day will be donated to the library.

Unearth your randy romances, your sassy sci-fi, and your funky fiction. We want it. All of it. See you there.

Puppy People Tweetup

@Valette — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 05:48:42 +0000

Attention all puppy people. It’s time to put on your walking shoes and round up your dogs for a long overdue puppeh tweetup.

Please join @Valette, @kpearso3 and others for a tweetup next Sunday, August 8. Meet at University Lake dog park at 2:00 pm for a romp around the trail, good conversation, picture taking opportunities, and a dog gone good time. Humans and dogs of all ages and sizes are welcome.

Don’t have a dog? @kpearso3 has three, so feel free to borrow one of hers, or just join us for some fresh air and good company.

Drop @kpearso3 or @Valette a tweet so they know about how many to expect. Hope to see you there!

Photography Tweetup In The Rain

@Valette — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 06:53:11 +0000

Thanks to all who came out for the Downtown Walkabout Friday night! It was fun walking around taking photos with new and well-established friends. We had to cut it short because of the rain, but moved the party to McGuinley’s pub where conversation kept drifting back to juggalos and the shakeweight.

As a reminder, please post your shots in the Alaska Tweets Flickr group.

Boxing Day Sledding Tweetup

@Valette — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 07:34:16 +0000

It’s a proven fact that sledding is good for one’s health. It provides ample opportunity to fill one’s lungs with fresh and crisp air and one’s blood with quick jolts of adrenaline. It is also known as the best way to get over all of the extra calories that come with the holidays. This Boxing Day, let’s sled down Powerline Pass and Gasline Pass.

Location

We will meet at the end of Sultana Drive, marked on the map as a P, at 12:00pm on December 26. By 12:15 we will cram as many people and sleds into as few 4×4 or AWD vehicles as possible and drive to the Glen Alps Parking Lot at the base of Flattop. After a short walk we will be ready for a great 2-mile sledding extravaganza!

View Larger Map

What to Bring

Warm clothes
Snow gear: pants, boots, gloves, scarf, hat
A sled or two, something fast and fun
Thermos of hot cocoa for the bottom of the hill
This is a family-friendly tweetup, so bring as many friends and family as you can

Caveats

If the weather turns terrible the sledding tweetup will be canceled; a determination on the weather will be made closer to Boxing Day. We will also need a number of 4×4 or AWD vehicles capable of making the drive up to the Glen Alps parking lot and drivers willing to shuttle others.

Restless Puppy Tweetup: Sun Dec 6 at 2:00pm

@Valette — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:12:33 +0000

@akcook reports that Marty McFly has been waking him up multiple times during the night this week, and I know Olive has been doing the same to @Valette. Convinced that they are restless from going an ENTIRE WEEK without seeing each other, we will be walking with the dogs this weekend in hopes of getting it out of their system.

Meet @Valette, @akcook , @jamielang and other scruffy creatures (with and without Twitter accounts) at the end of Klutina Drive this Sunday, December 6 at 2:00pm. See the map below for directions.

Juneau Tweetup—Oct 22 at 6pm

@Valette — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:39:55 +0000

Attention Juneau! @Valette is coming to town Thursday, October 22 and wants to meet you. She is very serious about this, so do not disappoint her.

Come have some pizza and maybe a beer, bring your camera and gadgets. We’ll talk about the best Twitter iPhone app, how snobby the Anchorage Twitter users are with their tweetups and 3G (but how they make some mighty fine cupcakes), and how we explain Twitter to non-Twitter-users.

If you’re interested in coming, please register through Twtvite.

Dog Park Confessional: Sunday, Sept 20

@Valette — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 19:01:03 +0000

We just can’t get enough of the dog park here at Alaska Tweets. It’s not just a place to let your dog run off leash and sniff some butts, but it’s a place where connections happen. And confessions. And gossip.

We are tweeting up this Sunday, September 20 at 10:00 a.m. at University Lake dog park for a great sociable walk around the lake with man’s best friend. The trails are pretty muddy in spots, so please come dressed for it. Let’s meet behind the Alaska Native Medical Center and prepare for a great morning walk with some really great dogs.

Even if you don’t have a dog of your own, you’ll want to be there for the walk because otherwise we will be talking about you. Check out the current list of attendees:

@Valette and Olive
@jamielang and Pennie Lane
@Mayor_of_twtr, The Hoff and Bruce Lee
@erikabean and 4
@kpearso3, Nova and Titan
@eareeve
@Anniepants, @pocketofroofies and Cedar
@jmproffitt and @AgentIceCream
