Mr President

the call

....raincover
But where???
Its 9am...Evening 
venues CLOSED
I know.... nearest pub...
The Alibi Room
@TheAlibiroom... responds:
6 hours to go...message is RTed
Manager of The Alibi room  phones around from home to nearby Revel Room ...no answer... offers to drive over and see if their chefs are early...
In the mean time.... possible solution
takes shape...possible to tag into 
another SMW event?
but which one?
5 hours to go... 
3 more calls 1st.....
4.5 hours to go....an answer
The manager of @RogueWetbar

With our thanks...
SMCYVR decides to

4 hours to go...
... but how to get the
 LOCATION change out?
Twitter.... RT by people
flooded the event update list
seen by 1000+

2 websites, 1 facebook...
Its Social Media After all


But what if they missed Twitter
3.5 hours to go.... 
in the rain... time to sign 
a trail back from the park
But what about the food.... provided by our Sponsor
@Acme_Cafe... 

Do we say, no thanks... after re-designing Quiche into mini's?
Do we bring someone elses's food into Rogue?
Do we accept the food but don't serve it? 

NO... time to share the LOVE...thats #EastVanLove (tweetup)
