Boston Tweetups + Security Conferences = Fun
Last night I had the pleasure of attending another Tweetup here in Beantown. Ah, I love me a good Tweetup. The night, which started at Fajitas & Ritas and led us to FELT and Good Life’s Vodka Bar, was full of great conversation, new friends and footage captured on Alexa Scordato‘s MacBook Pro (coming soon).
There’s something about the people who use Twitter that inspires a fun, electric energy at meetup events. It seems there’s never a dull moment, and I always end up learning new things. At this particular Tweetup, I met Jennifer Leggio (@mediaphyter), Raffael Marty (@zrlram), Dmitri Gunn (@dmitrigunn), Adam and Sophy O’Donnell, Kee Hinckley and a bunch of other movers and shakers in the security industry who were in town for the SOURCE Boston conference.
Topics of conversation ranged from security compliance standards (how cool is it that I got to bring up SOX and PCI outside of work?!), to what, if anything, can or should be done to correct malicious online behavior among teens and college students, to glitter MySpace layouts, to Danny, the door guy at Good Life, being a seriously cool dude.
Thank you to Bryan Person and Joe C for being cool cats and making the night awesome.

It was great to meet you! I am sorry we didn’t get to chat more and we never did get to dance. I faded fast. But we’ll talk soon. Women in security are rare so we need to stick together. ;-)
I don’t get called a “cool cat” all that often, so thanks! It was nice seeing you and everyone at the Tweetup on Friday night.
It was great meeting you at the tweetup! Chris Brogan was right, you are “The Future.” All the cool cats will be at S&S April 1st… be there or be square. ;-)

TOTALLY getting ready for next weekend …
You should check out RSA in SF, April 7-11. This is another security conference that would increase your security networking contacts. There will be an event for security bloggers the first night as well as several different industry gatherings through out the conference.
