Proof once again that I do get out from time to time, here are a few photos from last night’s “Drop-In” party at the Greenville Chamber of Commerce, where I met many very smart, talented people – some of whom are already on Twitter, and others… well, soon will be. I should have taken more photos, but I was too busy yapping my mouth, as always.
First up (above, right to left): Liquid Highway’s @BigJonEvans (John Evans), @benchmarkngbabe (Jessica Smith), and with the bottle of coke and the gray dinner jacket, Ken Flournoy (The picky people’s plumber).
Below (left to right this time): John (again) and G-Magazine’s Jack Bacot? (Is that right? I met a dozen peeps from G and – maybe it’s the wine – but I am getting them all mixed up in my head. Sorry about that, but that’s what happens when you don’t wear a name tag.)
And further below, some young handsome lad drinking blush wine out of a plastic cup while wearing diagonal stripes (two more reasons he may have gotten kicked out of France) and the ever present Jon Evans – whose quasi empty beer cup was in desperate need of a refill. (Someone please buy Jon a beer.)
As a bonus, check out this photo of the Liquid Highway setup. I have absolutely no idea what was going on there. The best I can figure is something along the lines of coffee kung-fu. Oh, and yes, a team of pretty ladies to make sure no one got to jacked up on caffeine.
Okay, that is all.
I have to admit I like the Big Jon theme you have going in these pictures. Remind you of anyone? Maybe…. MATT BACAK????
Haha. Matt Bacack. If anyone doesn’t know what Jon is talking about, google “twitter, douche”. (Not meaning to offend. It’s a legitimate search. You’ll see.)
How does one get on the notification list for this event?? Heck, I saw *nothing* in Twitter, even though everyone is talking about how Twitter drove attendance. Hm.
Clearly my #15 Twitterati ranking is failing me.

Had Jon not mentioned it (as in “verbally, as in “face-to-face, as in “in person”), I wouldn’t have known about it either.
The Chamber was PACKED, so I can’t say that they didn’t do a good job of getting the word out, but in a way, yeah, they kind of missed the boat in a way. Many people didn’t know about it until after the fact.
I’ll have to talk to the Chamber’s peeps about it.
Man, there are a ton of Big Jon pics on here…. Well, the good news is, it will keep the ladies coming back.
