We have Twitter Friends @fallingrock and @tntnaz coming to Maui this month. For sometime now I had been planning a MauiTweetUP to meet them IRL. First I thought of doing one in Central Maui because that’s what would get the best attendance. However, as the dates got closer, I changed my mind and moved it back to Kihei.
Kris suggested another Whale Day Celebration tweetup. You know, that’s how Kris (@webnelly ) and I met for the first time. More of that story on Kris’ post here. So I decided to “ignore the potential chaos” of trying to find each other at the Whale Day Celebration at Kalama Park on Feb. 20 and decided that it would be a great day, time and place to meet up – hah!
Here’s the good news: ROADRUNNER MOBILE is sponsoring by providing me a 4G wireless connection that day so we cal LIVE TWEET this Maui Tweet Up. So, it actually will not be too hard to find each other. I know most of you have internet on you phones (I might be the only one who has outgoing text only – LOL!) Now, with me having the ROADRUNNER MOBILE services, we just tweet each other to find out where everyone is and meet at one place. Right?
Of course this has to be a little bit more organized than that. So I came up with a little plan. We will be flexible but this is what I am thinking. Please feel free to leave a comment below about your thoughts on this and we’ll work this out. So here’s what I think:
MAUI TWEET UP
Date: Feb 20, 2010 Saturday
Where:
1) First, meet at Starbucks at Kukui Mall at 9:00 AM to wait for the parade to come – so we can all watch the Whale Day Parade while drinking coffee and tea, talking story and tweeting away.
2) After the Parade, at 10:00 AM we’ll hang out at the Kalama Park Pavillion next to the playground and those who are not early birds and did not make it to the 9:00AM Tweetup can meet us there. This will be easier for those with kids because their kids can play at the playground while we tweet-up.
3) At approximately 11:00 AM we will go around and visit out Tweeter Friends @TikiTales and @Jamarilyn who have booths there. @AlohaKathy will also be at the @GreenMaui booth. We can help them promote their booths by tweeting and twitpicing from there
Anyone else from our MauiTwitterville who has a booth there that we can promote?
4) After the visit around, everyone is on their own, unless we liked each other so much that we decided to hang with each other a bit more

See you there!
We’ll be there!
Looks like it’s going to be a ton of fun! Can’t wait to see the photos.
Also, see if you can have @jalove hook you up with a celebrity tweetup appearance from @anuheajams. I believe I saw she was performing at the celebration on Saturday, too.
