Twelve of us had a second successful breakfast tweetup this morning at Prince Street Cafe.
Lancaster, PA tweetups are on a roll
Thanks to Paul Stoltzfus for the camera-phone photo. The twitterati left to right: me, Kate, Joel, Jeff, Shanelle, and Ryan
The twelve of us were Jeff Geoghan, Kate Peteritas, Jeremy Walter, Bryan Coe, Jeff Rumm, Chad Hamilton, Shanelle Lee, Max Phillips, Paul Stoltzfus, Ryan Shen-Hoover, Joel Walker, and myself. We all made it out at 7 a.m. or so for some breakfast, coffee, and conversation.
For me, it was the first time I met Chad, Bryan, and Ryan in real life. We’ve been following each other on Twitter and Facebook for several months, so it’s great to bring it full circle with a little face-to-face time. Good guys, all three of them. Chad was officially the youngest adult at the tweetup. He’s a student at Manheim Township High School and spends part of his time studying graphic design at the Lancaster County Career & Technology Center.
This is the fifth successful tweetup we have now had in Lancaster since we began six months ago:
- Apple store opening at Park City mall – Sept. 20
- Paul Rothrock’s birthday pub crawl down Plum Street – Sept. 27
- Ice skating and chilling in the skybox at Clipper Magazine Stadium – Jan. 23
- Breakfast tweetup No. 1 – Feb. 24
- Breakfast tweetup No. 2 – March 11
There were other attempts, but I haven’t verified that any of them were well-attended enough to be considered bona fide tweetups. (Please fill us in if I missed any.)
A little bird told me Prince Street is the place for tweetups
To get the scoop upcoming tweetups, keep an eye on the Lancaster PA Tweetups group on Facebook. Planned get-togthers include lunch, late-night diner run, Saturday morning coffee, and who knows what else.
A couple people suggested that we have nametags next time. Paul threatened never to return if we crossed the line into having a sign-in sheet, though. What should we do for our next tweetups?

Beautiful post thanks for the mention and I was offiially the youngest. Any idea when the next tweetup will be?
Wow, how did I not know about the TweetUp at Apple?
Also you linked to the web design program not the grahics program
Sorry about the link mixup, Chad. Did I get it right this time? “Commercial Art”?
Yeah, that late-night diner run sounds perfect for my schedule. I just can’t do those 7am tweet-ups!
Serious. I’m lay’n down the lime.
I almost came. Truth is that I didn't get ready in time.
I also drove past on my way to work while you were there.
