A little “peek” in to the “peeps” in my Tweetdeck – #140conf LA

This is a personal blog for this week !

To tweet or not to tweet is no longer a question.  Well, at least not for me and many others that attended the #140conf in LA last week.  I had the immense pleasure of hanging out with a group of individuals that are as enthusiastic about Twitter as I am.  I was humbled and honored to be around some very influential folks – and it was nice to put faces with names, connect, laugh, share and learn from everyone there.

Everyone I met accepted me for who I am – avatar and all! (LOL)!  I am ALWAYS laughing, joking, making fun of myself and all of my idiosyncrasies, so it was great to know that although they may have questioned my mental stability; my peeps would never leave me behind.  As an FYI, I have had at least 40 DM’s telling me to change my avatar – which I am sure will be a topic of discussion for years to come. 

Initially, I think our Twitter Posse that formed (consisting most of the time of: @MayhemStudios @CiaoBella50, @JeffRago, @BigAsianHead, @earthXplorer and @LoriMoreno) were a bit surprised at my outgoing and comedic personality.  During our escapades (most of them while eating), I am sure that  my #140conf friends  – and others that ate with us (@aaswartz @vegasbill @24K) may have questioned why they were sitting with me and “is anyone else watching what is going on here?”  LOL!  I should have been in stand up.

As a testament of what I love to do – make people laugh – I have decided to list below some of the most laughable moments (in no particular order) that I recall from this event.  I hope I remember all – and feel free to tweet me if I left anything out.  The great thing about this conference is whether there were personal, professional or unexpected connections – it is the relationships I will never forget. 

• Sharing the “Zen” Moment with @TomJolly – ROFL!!!
• Fun with chopsticks and @earthXplorer catching me on film as a walrus…nice!
• @LoriMoreno @CiaoBella50 and myself trying to take a picture the first night– and LOL the whole time.
• @CaioBella50 and I running – and well, Bella, I hope you remember why we were laughing!!!
• Heading down to the twist party and giving @MayhemStudios 2 Great Big Hugs!
• At breaktime, having fun with @CiaoBella50 while @Mayhemstudios took pictures – we were on to him now!
• Realizing that “the mob” rules when you are sitting alone on the other side of the theater
• Having my sneaks tweeted by @MayHemStudios
• The first night at the VIP party – with @LoriMoreno and @CiaoBella50 – standing like geeks in front of the screen watching ourselves tweet to each other! LOSERS!!! LOL!!!!

• Knowing that @BigAsianHead, @LoriMoreno and @Mayhemstudios were oh, laughing at Sushi lunch (HEY! Calvin you owe me some Sushi)
• Mr. Fry’s untimely death (Boo Hoo!)
• Meeting @3Lunches – another #Babealert winner!
• Learning that @MayhemStudios is VERY good at taking pics and vids and you don’t know it!
• Making sure that I gave my card to @OhDoctah so @JeffRago would not get beat up and keep his gorgeous face!
• Ordering Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup with @CiaoBella50 and saying “is this really a sandwich?”
• Discussing with @MayhemStudios how to “better communicate his thoughts” (LOL!)
• Taking pictures of the Casting Couch with @CiaoBella50, @JeffRago, @BigAsianHead @AnythingAnthony (wowza!)
• Knowing that I got @Mayhemstudios with a #thatswhatshesaid he will never live down
• Picking up an extra peep – who was that dude anyway?

 Twitter is something different for everyone that uses it –Some use it to communicate what might be hard for them to say, others use it for business, many for personal use but everyone uses it to connect.

I connected with people at the #140conf I would have never met otherwise.

 Whatever your reason, purpose or use, I have these parting thoughts:

• People that are engaged with Twitter…..LOVE Twitter
• Twitter is addicting to those that “get it”
• Not everyone gets it – and some never will (enough said)
