Tweetup 2.0 Apologies

Before my other posts about triangle tweetup 2.0 begin, I wanted to write this post apologizing to every tweeps and tweepettes ;O) at the event last night.  Hopefully this will summarize my failures of the night in hopes that maybe you could find it in ur little twitter hearts to forgive @ToAsTySnAcKs.

One of the biggest tweetups happened last night and it was all thanks to @WayneSutton @GinnySkal @kbodnar32 @theRab @dgtlpapercuts, sponsors, and @Bronto for having us crash thier pad!  In no way shape or form should any tweep give me any credit for anything that Tweetup/Twestival/MiscTwitter events have done.  (even if you heard otherwise)

Shortly After @WayneSutton did the intros, the “Panel:  Brands, Business and Twitter” started.  Meanwhile, I was hanging out to the side with @comcipher @ffalias and @mammalpants.  I tried to stay nearby so I could hear the presentations and I also had to introduce Iconfactory later on.  However, it was so ridiculously hard to hear anything anyone on the panel was saying, and I was inside the room. One thing lead to another (that’s what she said :-p)  and I was in my own little bubble talking to tweeps. Then we realize that we’re being ridiculously rude (@WayneSutton helped give us that lightbulb moment) and we leave the room. :-/

I figure I should go get beer, but on the way I started talking to people.  Next thing you know, I remembered I was supposed to introduce Iconfactory!! EPIC FAIL! Here is one of the greatest moments in Raleigh Tweetup History! Iconfactory demo-ing for the first time ever their Twitterific 2.0!!  By the time I got to the presentation room, they already started.  And I also missed @GinnySkal and @mammalpants handing down the Crown/Sashes because I was playing Twitter Twister.  :O(

Tweetup was coming to a close, so my tweeps told me to tell everyone that people are going to Tylers.  Sure enough I went over to go tell them, got ADD, and started talking to people!  @comcipher had to come remind me what I should have been doing.  Soon thereafter, I was also supposed to get chairs for our table and wound up talking to @photomonger and @btoomes, when AGAIN @comcipher had to remind me what I should have been doing.

Here’s the thing:  I get very excited about things and when I do, I hyperfocus.  So one minute I’ll be doing something and the next something grabs my attention and I COMPLETELY forget about what was going on before.  So its good if you’re on the hyperfocus side and bad when you’re not.  It’s great for work :O) cause I use all my energy on things that I love so then I rock it! But doesn’t work over to well with people :-/  It is a switch that I can’t turn off :-/

• Sorry to the Raleigh Tweetup Crew @WayneSutton @GinnySkal @kbodnar32 @theRab @dgtlpapercuts for being scatter brained and not being dependable

• Sorry to @GinnySkal and @mammalpants for missing your last minutes of reign as Tweetup King and Queen.

• Sorry to all the people that I got to talk to last night that were on my Hyperfocus side one minute and not the next :O(

If there’s anyone I missed, I’m sorry :o(
