Join the Lawrence Tweetup group and local social media enthusiasts for the July #ltwup event. This month we're meeting at the original Johnny's Tavern north of the river. Johnny's and their fellow North Lawrence businesses have suffered through extensive road construction for months, and it's finally easy to get there again. Let's show our support and have a great turnout!
- When: Tuesday, July 20
- Time: 6:30-10 p.m.
- Where: Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. 2nd
Tuesday night specials include $1 tacos and $2 16 ounce Miller Lite draws.
Johnny's is truly a Lawrence original, open since 1953 and still in its original location just across the Kansas River bridge. They boast the longest running tap in Lawrence and claim they have not only the best burgers in town, but also the best pizza. A patio is available in the back.
The first and third Wednesdays of the month are Cajun Night, with live music at 6 p.m. and mouthwatering shrimp and crayfish. On the second and fourth Wednesdays, come back out for free live trivia with Scotty Mack.
RSVP using the Twtvite on the right side of this page or find us on Facebook. Follow Johnny's on Twitter @johnnystavernpv. Don't forget to use the #ltwup hashtag when tweeting about us! Hope to see you next week!

Join the Lawrence Tweetup for our second annual Tweetup in the Park!
- When: Saturday, June 19
- Time: 4-9 p.m.
- Where: Clinton Park, located at 5th & Maine in Lawrence (note: this is not Clinton State Park at the lake, this is a neighborhood park near Lawrence Memorial Hospital
Last year our inaugural picnic in the park had a great group of over 70 people. Help us make this year's event bigger and better! We're inviting social media enthusiasts from Lawrence and the surrounding areas. The invitation is open to members of the Lawrence Tweetup, Social Media Clubs of Lawrence and Kansas City, Topeka Tweetup, and Free State Social attendees. Come meet fellow social media users and bring your friends! This is a family friendly event, so feel free to bring the kids.
Please bring a food or drink item to share. We'll have a couple of grills fired up, so bring hot dogs, burgers, chips, side dishes, desserts, or drinks. We hope to have a great potluck style celebration with a lot of variety. The picnic organizers will provide paper plates, cups, napkins, and cutlery- you don't need to bring those items.
You can bring beer, but it must be in cans due to city ordinances prohibiting bottles. Please don't bring any type of alcohol in glass bottles.
If your business would like to donate food or drink, please let us know! We'd love the donation and it would be a great opportunity to showcase your business to a very talkative and influential community. We'll be sure to recognize your support on our website and social media sites.
The shelter area will be reserved for our event, so there will be plenty of seating in the shade. There's also a basketball hoop, kids play area, and lots of open space for yard games. If you have any outdoor games you want to bring along, please do!
Please use the comment section below to let us know you're coming and what you plan to bring- this will help all of us plan so we have a variety of food available. Anyone want to make a Fail Whale cake this year?
RSVP via Twitter using the TwtVite embedded on the right side of the page. You can also RSVP on Facebook.
Please spread the word about this great event, and we hope to see you on June 19!
