Great Fresno Tweetup 3: The update


We're just a few days away from The Great Fresno Tweetup 3, when our local Twitter community gathers for a night of baseball, $1 beers, games and networking at the Fresno Grizzlies game. In preparation, The Grizzlies have turned the spotlight to their own outfielder/prolific Tweeter Thomas Neal (aka @TDaddyNeal) for the promo video above.

A things to know now that it's almost Tweetup time:

  • You can still RSVP on Twitter with @fresnogrizzlies to get on the list for $5 seats in our "Tweetdeck." Those include your first Thirsty Thursday $1 beer. Like last year, we'll have our own beer cart so our Tweeps don't have to wait in those long lines.
  • Another good reason to be there: Word out of San Francisco is that Barry Zito will be in Fresno on Thursday night for a rehab start.
  • We're making the Tweetup extra cool for a few local Tweeps. One lucky fan will get to throw out the first pitch, while a few others will get to take the field with Thomas Neal before the game. Watch both @fresnobeehive and @fresnogrizzlies on Wednesday and Thursday for contests.

  • We'll also have an appearance from the most-followed local dude on Twitter -- @YourFavWhiteGuy, who has 189K followers because of his comedic (and sometimes NSFW) tweets. He'll be throwing out a first pitch and offering some Twitter play-by-play.
  • Want to get in free? A few local blogs are giving away tickets to the Great Fresno Tweetup. There's one contest already up on Dumb Drum, and The Fresnan and The Thinking Blonde will have theirs up soon.
  • Also: Catch me on CBS 47 This Morning bright and early on Wednesday morning (6 a.m.!) talking about the Tweetup. Shouts to Zara!
