One of the things I want most in downtown Phoenix is a hang out, a place where you can go nearly any time of the day or night and know people will be there. While that hasn’t quite happened, progress is being made.
Events like #PFC (Phoenix Friday Coffee) are an excellent example of such. Every Friday a group of people (creative types, office workers, students; all are welcome) have what’s called a Tweetup (cute way of saying meet up) with others who correspond via Twitter. We pick a different shop each Friday after work, with Lux, Paisley Violin, Copper Star and Fair Trade so far, and sit down for a few hours with like minded peers to talk about work, friends, family, projects, etc.
Anyone is welcome, the group certainly doesn’t discriminate. It’s truly social media at its best.
If you’re interested, sign up for Twitter and look for me at twitter.com/tdhurst or leave a comment below.
