I had an opportunity to attend last nights Sactweetup at the Lofts in downtown Sacramento. The Lofts on L street were kind enough to host the event while showcasing their beautiful 1900 square foot Penthouse Suite. The suite had amazing views of Sacramento and was definitely a showcase of contemporary design.
Alejandro Reyes (also known as @Successfool) and Sierra Friend (@sierrafriend) are the creators of this amazing Sacramento event. The first event that I attended was at Panera and there were quite a few people but last nights event showed just how much the event has grown. Walking in I passed News 10 filming so they could cover the event and give it well deserved time on the news.
What is all the Buzz about? The Sactweetup is where Sacramento and Twitter meet. Local business professionals as well as some from as far as Walnut Creek and Fremont get together and share ideas about how to grow their business through Social Media. It just doesn’t stop there. I have met with many of the professionals that I first met online and then at the Tweetup outside of the event. I have been able to exchange referrals and learn more about their businesses. Above that I have established some relationships that transcend business. I regularly get together with a friend @thisaac and we share our faith and hold each other accountable is areas of life.
Last night, at the event, I had the opportunity to meet several more people. Each time I get the chance to go I am never let down. I carpool with one of my favorite people ever @meghanwood; the meghanshow.com and we just have a great time.
Make sure to check out the L street Lofts and make sure that you make it to the next Sactweetup. Check it out at www.sactweetup.com.
Here are the great people that I met last night to name a few:
Jason Everett – Sales Partners
Rajkumar Karthikeyan – Midland National Life Insurance
Kristi LeGue – CPA
Ryan Lucia – Voyage Financial Group
Rick Pearse – American City Realty and Financial
This list is certainly not all encompassing as I met Jennifer Bourn, Mickey O’brien and spoke to several others that I have met in the past. Looking forward to the next tweetup!

I looked up the spelling after I messed it up:( I will get it edited right away. I loved that movie though so it may have been a reflex.
