#DCTweetup 9: Zen & the Art of Tea

January 29, 2010

On January 28, 2010, Zen Tara Tea invited Sisarina's group to their brand new retail store for a tea tasting. What we got was way more than just a tea tasting.  Several local Asian restaurants, including TaiPei 101 and Tara Thai, provided delectible finger foods to complement the flavors of the many teas and Zen Tara's owner, Guy, enlightened us all with a short presentation about tea.  Most attendees left with new tea, new friends and a renewed feeling of Zen.

Teas at Zen Tara Tea change with the seasons.  We'll definitely be back!

 

During the event, host Guy was covertly filming.  He had this short video edited and up by the next morning.  Great work, Guy!

#DCTweetup 8: Bardeo

December 6, 2009

Bardeo, sister bar to Ardeo Restaurant, hosted an incredible #DCTweetup on Tuesday, December 1. The great selection of wine, eclectic array of beers and delicious small plates were just a small piece of the evening. The networking and smiling faces made it obvious that it was a successful event. Melanie received many thanks at the end of the evening for hosting such a helpful evening of networking while she reminded them that it was the people that made the party, not the planner.

The bar was packed to the point that the locals were giving dirty looks to the crowd of people swarming in their quiet local happy hour spot. Twitter friends became IRL friends and everyone left with a new connection or three. Now it's time to go follow all the people you met!

What is #DCTweetup?
#DCTweetup is a ‘non’-networking event for locals to put a face to a Twitter handle. It’s a relaxing evening of networking with your neighbors, local business owners and meeting new friends. This is not your typical ’state what you do & hand over your business card’ event. #DCTweetup is for the introverted & extroverted alike to share in great conversation, relationship-building and fun.
