It’s that time of year again folks. When the levels of frustration run high what with all the shopping and the family gatherings. Luckily, Corinne of ExploreSacto has once again put together the Festivus Tweetup.
If you aren’t familiar with the concept of a tweetup, it’s basically when a bunch of people who chat on Twitter get together to chat in real life, usually at a bar or restaurant. Festivus Tweetup is pretty much the same thing, but with a theme. People who don’t tweet are always welcome, of course.
Again, de Vere’s Irish Pub in Sacramento is hosting the gathering that honors the made up holiday permanently etched into popular culture by Seinfeld, Festivus. Seriously, that right there should be reason enough to show up and have a little holiday cheer. I mean look at that beer!
While I’m not sure if there will be a pole sans distracting tinsel, I do know there will be some kick ass raffle prizes.
For the record, last year I won the big prize package, which included a one night’s stay at the Residence Inn. This year the list of prizes looks to be just as awesome.
Plus, you can donate diapers that will go to Maryhouse and get more raffle tickets. Don’t have time to get diapers? Other donations to Maryhouse will also get you a raffle ticket or two. Check out the Eventbrite link for more information and sign up!
I almost forgot to mention…the Ugly Sweater Contest! Yep, someone will get a prize for the ugliest sweater. You know you want that prize.
