Woo Hoo! Can't wait to meet @mediaphyter in person - X-Mas is coming early to Boston Tweeps!
mediaphyter
REALLY I CANNOT WAIT TO MEET HER! Er, yeah. I can't wait to meet everyone I haven't yet met / see everyone I haven't seen in a while!

Coming down from NH to welcome Jen!

There really is a Santa Claus! OK. I have no idea who Jen is, but the luminaries on this list make it clear that this event is not to be missed. And what better way to breathe a little before being mauled by relatives and consumers this season than by spending some quality time with the fine tweeple of Boston? I'm in.

Loving the people signing up! Christine, Yarmis, etc etc... this will be a BLAST :)
KTMullins

mediaphyter

jstorerj

Looking forward to meeting @mediaphyter

recklessstudio
This should be fun!
srdill
Yeah, I want to see @KTMullins' bells. Wait. That didn't come out right. NM.
I'm psyched to come out of the 'burbs to hang with Jen and her Boston posse.
mediaphyter
Holy cow, there's a lot of you! I cannot wait!
geechee_girl
Boston people, we turn OUT for a party :)
stales
I'm in!!!! I love Boston Tweetups!
mediaphyter
Hi friends - I fear I will not be coming to Boston after all due to a health issue. I am flattered and sad at the same time that so many of you were willing to come out (I know not all of you were coming for me!). I will make it out there after the first of the year and hope to meet you all then. Enjoy the party!
geechee_girl
No worries, please feel better. We will just have this be "Holidays at Hennessy's Hooley House" instead and will drink in your honor to your health :)
cmajor2
So sad we won't be able to meet you in person Jennifer! Please rest and enjoy your holidays. I still expect to see everyone else there to celebrate the holidays with us and help support @stales and the fight against cancer. Donations are not required to come - the event is free, but they are appreciated!
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Just saw Storer's comment. Damn straight I'm going. My favorite ladies and a good cause. Even your presence can't ruin my spirit!! :)
geechee_girl
You better be there, Jonathan :) Parties without the booming voice of good cheer are just not parties at all ;)
martinjfoley111
I have no idea who any of you are, or what this really is. BUT, I love a party, so I will bring a check book and get ready to party.
ecc1977
I'll be there.

Just found out this at last nights Boston Winter Tweetup, See you tweeples there!
SonOfMagicFact
I've never been to a Tweetup before, but I'm coming home to Boston from school, so I might as well get to know people I've never met before :)
geechee_girl
Heck yes! come on down!
jlyarmis
Can we begin the party like NOW? I soooo need a drink.
cmajor2
John - me and you both!

This ought to be an interesting evening. From the San Jose Merc: Tonight's full moon, nearly as close as it ever comes to Earth in its orbit, will loom especially large — 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than other full moons this year. In fact, "this evening's moon is not only the largest for 2008 but also during the period 1993-2016," said astrophotographer Anthony Ayiomamitis.
geechee_girl
Oh my! and yes, thirded - totally need a drink :) lol
mediaphyter
I am sad that I couldn't make it tonight so I bought a round of drinks for you all! See @geechee_girl for tickets!
