"Tweetups are a crapshoot on turnout no matter how you slice it. I've seen as many as ~50 in St. Louis at the Royale earlier this year and as little as 12. The number isn't necessarily the goal though. People want connection. In the spirit of social media I'll say that quality > quantity any day of the week. Kudos to Rex for giving it a shot. Opening that initial door is by far the hardest part. Also Todd threatened to punch me if I didn't post this. -@JavaSTL" - Brad Hogenmiller
