The first afterhours mobile tweetup lead tweeting convention goers a chance to schmooze over booze.
Starting in the Le Burger Brassiere at the Paris and wrapping up at Grand Lux Cafe in the Venetian the group mingled over a mix of choice drinks.

What’s the tweetup drink of choice?

These “twitter”-bugs said it in 140 characters or less.

“Vodka and cranberry mostly,” Robyn Sekula said. “But I enjoy free drinks.” (right, center)

“Irish Car Bomb, that makes me sound young,” said Evan Bush. (left)

“It’s been beer mostly,” said tweetup organizer Jeff Cutler. “Taste bud choice and a dollar choice.” (above)
