Update: Social Networking Night with RRS...who's coming?
Hey guys,
Social Networking night is on Tuesday, August 11th.
Join us for the first ever Mariners Social Media Happy Hour from 5-7pm at the Safeco Field Ellis Pavilion. There will be a panel discussion with Seattle social media experts and a specially-priced happy hour food & drink menu.
Plus, Mariners pitcher, blogger and Twitter personality Ryan Rowland-Smith (@hyphen18) will be a special on hand for a special Q&A session.
Everyone in attendance gets a free "I Follow @hyphen18" T-shirt and will be invited to Tweet during the event and the Mariners game.
So we will get to meet the Sexy Aussie from Down Under himself (I will struggle to maintain my composure), as well as an assortment of people involved in the media or marketing, the social media panel. For someone like me who is majoring in Business with a concentration in marketing, this is an incredible opportunity. Even if you don't care about marketing, this would still be a fun event, you get a Hyphen T-shirt, and discounted game tickets! Anyone else going to be there?
In light of the event, I present to you this:
Update: I feel stupid now for posting this. I am going to the game Wednesday with co-workers from my new job instead of Tuesday. This is too bad, I wish I could meet RRS, but I am sure I will get another chance sometime. Sorry guys, I hope whoever does end up going has fun and posts any pictures they get with RRS.

I thought you were about to make a "singles night" joke.
I had no idea there was actually going to be a “Social Networking Night.” Intense.

"Singles night with RRS"
I’d go to that. Wonder if he has any good Aussie pick up lines.

You're about to get a string of emails from a random gay guy complaining about your use of slurs, incidentally

Fair enough
I’m quite the homophobe. Or maybe I’m a racist. Or a bigot. Who can keep it all straight? OH LOOK NOW I MALIGNED THE NON-GAYS

Not sure I'll go
But I’m now following him on Twitter. I kinda want one of those shirts though.

"Plus, Mariners pitcher, blogger and Twitter personality Ryan Rowland-Smith (@hyphen18) will be a special on hand for a special Q&A session."

I am guessing they are trying to reach out to people who don't already have twitter or follow RRS on it.

Then those people would be lieing if they wore the "I follow @hyphen18" T-shirt.

Doesn't mean they can't start following him now after they heard about the event.

Wasn't aware that he'd embraced the "hyphen" nickname.
Did he take that from here or was that a previously established nom de plume?

I am sure he had a few mates back down under that used that nickname.

Sadly I have an Ultimate game
Really wanted one of those shirts though, dang.

Now I'm not anymore
No money, and so tickets before noon today. Would have liked to go, but it’s probably for the best I don’t.
