Yeah, I read the rules… “GIRLS ONLY!”

That just made me want to go even more.  Well, not because of the girls, but because I had a flashback to those many times when my mother would say “you can’t have a cookie.” You know, it just made me want it even more.

All Girls Tweetup... LOL

To be honest, I wasn’t PLANNING on crashing it.  I actually had the discipline to resist going (which is a miracle considering the fact that I knew that my Dream Girl @TamaraSchilling would be there) but then a cosmic change in plans happened….

Here’s how it went down:

• I log on to twitter early in the morning to check the status of the universe
• I get a message from the amazing man who produced the Social Media Adventure videos: Joe Pena of Joe Pena Productions. (@JoeTheProducer)
• He tells me that he is in Arizona on business (he lives in Chicago) and wants to meet in person for breakfast
• I say yes, but lunch only works for me…
• I suggest the Paradise Bakery across the street from where I know the “all girls tweetup” is.  (Not to be cunning, but b/c @TamaraSchilling is attending the tweetup and we are going in the same car)
• Neither Joe nor I can find the Paradise Bakey.
• Joe calls and suggests we meet at the girls tweetup, so Tamara won’t be late.
• We arrive and somehow the girls think it would be cool if we stuck around!
• Fun times were had by all!

The Boys: Joe & Joseph

Joe is an amazing man.  He has an incredible story and is on a powerful mission with his business, Joe Pena Productions.  He is touching so many lives with the radio show that he hosts, check it out here: http://www.joepenaproductions.com/?cat=12 He is also one of THE most genuine people that I have ever met. Instantly I knew that he was a man that I could trust, and would easily endorse to anyone that I met. In fact, check out my endorsement of Joe here: http://www.joepenaproductions.com/?p=1616

In addition to Joe, some of the awesome people who were present were:

• Teresa, the awesome DJ and late-night tweeter: @WinningEdge
• Two of the awesome girls that I met, early on in my twitter presence AZBlueEyes @CiaoBella50
• The Jewelry Maven, Julianne Paulsen (and fervent supporter of the Social Media Love Story) @YRJewelryGal
• Some new friends that I met at the tweetup, or just recently prior: @FaithfullyFit @GoodlifeDiva @AZMomOfManyHats
• The boys: @JoeTheProducer @LonSafko Thanks for coming Lon, made me & Joe feel like we fit in! (btw, Lon wrote the Social Media Bible… check it out!)

So, there it is. It rocks to be a boy when you crash an all-girls tweetup.
