In anticipation of the new Bond movie, I decided it was time to throw a big tweetup, so I reserved 50 of the best seats at the Arclight Sherman Oaks for the November 13 midnight release showing and started tweeting out the news. The plan was to get as many people to dress up Bond-style, and get dinner + drinks at the Cheesecake Factory then proceed to be shaken, not stirred by the awesomeness that is “Bond, James Bond”.
All of this was especially tricky for me because at last minute, a few days before, I decided to go to Vegas for Pubcon for a day with @THFmartin, and we were flying back to LA just 2 hours before the Tweetup. I managed to pull it off with the help of @AndrewSeely and we grabbed @Nikolez and made it in time as people started to arrive. On a side note: Why the hell won’t Cheesecake Factory take a reservation when it’s for FORTY people? Corporate policy my ass.
All in all, we had about 45 people show up, and quite a few of them dressed the part. Dinner & Drinks at the Cheesecake Factory totaled about $812. I heard everyone there say they had a great time, so it looks like I’ll be doing it again…. now just to decide which movie? Suggestions?
Here are some pics from the event, including the infamous “Bond, Andrew Bond” pic of @AndrewSeely.
More pics and attendee list to come!
