When Social Media Friends Meet IRL

Like many things in this new world we live in…it all starts with a tweet. Yesterday, I carpooled with Marie Walker Riddle of LivinLime.com, who incidentally I met on Twitter years ago too, from Orange County to Los Angeles to attend The Getty Social at the J. Paul Getty Museum. While it is always a good day to visit the Getty, in my opinion, Saturday was perfect. Clear skies, not too much traffic and a chance to socialize with some of the movers and shakers of the SoCal social media world – count me in! There may have been no real agenda, save for an inspiring talk by Nic Adler at lunch, and some instructions for a scavenger hunt; but the #GettySocial was a sweet success – with thanks to the organizers Ted, Beverly, Lana and Laura, the museum, and contributors including KIND Healthy Snacks, Moo Cards and iPro Lens. Can’t wait for the next one.


Getting Social at The Getty

It was a clear sunny day in SoCal when social media types from Orange County to Los Angeles gathered at The Getty Museum for a full day of socializing and art! Organized by @TedNguyen @BeverlyMacy @Lana_Layne @LauraBilliter with the help of @meowius, the #GettySocial was a smashing success.
