Thanks to those of you who came out to the LoneRider brewery last Tuesday for the tweetup. We met some fun folks from the Raleigh/Durham area, ate BBQ, did a little imbibing and had an overall great time.
If you missed the fun (or if you want to relive it), take a look at these links:
The photobooth photos from F8 Photo Studios may inspire a chuckle or two. Use the password Outlawf8 to see them.
We had only one entry into the video contest…but it’s pretty awesome. Thanks to Ginny Skalski (@ginnyskal) for convincing us all to give Peace(maker) a chance.
Our TwitPic winner was Rianna Mallard (@riannam). You can see her as Shotgun Betty here.
So, if you haven’t heard, we’re helping LoneRider Brewing Company host a tweetup at their brewery on April 13th. (Don’t have a ticket yet? Grab one quick — there are only two left!)
Contest details
To add to the fun, we’re having a contest leading up to the event. Here’s how you can enter:
Make a 12seconds.tv video or post a TwitPic answering the question, “What LoneRider beer are you?”
Tweet out your video or photo with the hashtag #imanoutlaw
Come to the tweetup to see if you’ve won!
Not sure what to do for your video or photo? For an example, see mine here. You don’t have to do what I did — do whatever your muse (a few LoneRider beers, obviously) leads you to. You can share why the beer you chose is your favorite, tell why you identify with that outlaw, get into character or whatever you think up.
What you really want to know: Prizes!
At the tweetup, we’ll announce two contest winners: one for TwitPic and one for video. Each winner will receive a growler of their choice of LoneRider beer as well as an iPod. The video winner will get an iPod touch and the photo winner will receive an iPod shuffle.
So, what are you waiting for? Impress us with your outlaw persona and maybe win some beer and an iPod!
It’s only a few weeks away, and if you’re anything like me, you’re already getting pumped for the LoneRider Tweetup. As mentioned on the event page, we’ll be drinking/tweeting up and chowing down on BBQ. Plus, our friends at F8 Photo Studios will be there with their photobooth so you can jump in and document your outlaw experience.
As we get ready for the event, here are a few ways you might want to prepare:
Lock down your ticket. There are only 34 left, and they’re required for entry.
Turn 21. Yes, LoneRider’s all about outlaws…but let’s keep it legal, folks. IDs will be checked at the door.
Buy some LoneRider beer. You can pick up six-packs at the brewery, or stop by local Harris Teeters, Whole Foods or Taylor’s BP on Six Forks. This will help you choose which one’s your favorite, so you can:
Enter the contest. Which LoneRider outlaw are you: Shotgun Betty, DeadEye Jack, Sweet Josie or Peacemaker? Tell us through a photo or 12seconds video and be entered to win prizes, including the LoneRider growler of your choice. More details here.
Practice your DJ skillz. We’ll be crowdsourcing music at the event via Blip.fm and letting you choose what songs you want to hear.
Designate a driver. If you plan to have more than a couple beers, consider carpooling with someone who’s sticking to one. Being an outlaw’s more fun when you don’t actually get pinched by the law.
I’ll be posting my outlaw video soon (as will the rest o’ the gang here at Click Optimize – right guys?). Excited to see which outlaws you choose!
Quick little video to show you some of the highlights of our event on 3/12/09 at LoneRider Brewing Company.

I just heard back from Tom from over at The Q Shack regarding the LoneRider Tweetup. He’s got some great ideas for food pairings for our twtpoll.
Shotgun Betty: Pulled Pork BBQ: Locally raised whole hog bbq from Johnston County. Smoked over hickory wood for 14 hours at The Q Shack at North Hills, Raleigh. The bbq sauce is a mixture of cider and white vinegars, tomatoes, chiles and spices.
Mashed Sweet Potatoes: Organically grown (Hurdle Mills, NC) Beauregard sweet potatoes, mashed with milk, butter, nutmeg, ginger and brown sugar.
Macaroni and Cheese: Homemade mac and cheese with nutmeg, coriander, salt, black pepper and sauteed garlic and onions.
DeadEye Jack:
Beef Brisket Chili: Slow cooked (10 hours) dry rubbed beef brisket, simmered with onions, tomatoes, cumin, chili powder and other spices.
Sliced, Smoked Pork Loin: Dry rubbed local pork loin, sliced and served with a chipotle-honey bbq sauce.
Black-Eyed Peas: Black-eyed peas simmered with tomatoes, spices, onions and a bit of jalapeno.
You’ll get to vote on your favorite pairing at the event via twtpoll. RSVP HERE!
