Orlando Indie Media Meetup is having a spur-of-the-moment meetup Tuesday February 22, 2011, 6:30pm at Downtown Credo Coffeehouse (706 W. Smith Street in College Park). Free to attend. Sorry for the late notice. It was just decided yesterday on twitter. If you want to attend, just show up!

What is it? Orlando Indie Media Meetup is a tiny gathering of five or so (depending on the month) local people who have blogs, twitter accounts, web shows, print magzines and paper zines specifically talking about the city of Orlando. The meetup is a casual hour of chit chat about what we're working on, recent and upcoming events and ways we can work together to support each other's efforts. There are no name tags, no dues, nor is it an attempt to become anything big or take the place of current local webby/geeky events. Its just a time to be in one room with as many of the individuals not getting paid to make media about Orlando.

Attendees (typically) include:
Mark from The Daily City
Bess from Central Florida Top Five
Peter from Orlando Live
Ashley and Kim from Pulse of Central Florida
Thomas (Thor) from Analog Artist Digital World
Cole from Uncover the Color
It started late Summer 2010 when I tweeted the idea publicly of a meetup group and tagged a few people I knew might be interested. They all said yes (to my relief) and since then we've met at Enzian twice and Crave once.
