Tweetup on 3/5 at Waterloo Ice House on 360:
Can you feel it? Spring is just around the corner here in Austin which means it’s the perfect time for another Tweetup at the Waterloo Ice House on 360.
Come and meet new faces that you may have only communicated with on Twitter. Come and chat about what other people in your area are doing. Learn a new skill. Network. Tweetups are all about just plain getting together to enjoy each other’s company. Sure hope you can join us.
We’ll be celebrating Gloria Bell, @gloriabell on Twitter, from the Pennsylvania area, being in our midst as well.
So, come outside on Thursday, March 5 and find us at the picnic tables.* Kiddos welcome as there’s a playground right by the tables.
*We’re quite aware that rain can come and go at any minute. In the event of rain we will be meeting inside instead.
If you are planning to attend please RSVP here.

What would an epic Tweetup in the “Live Music Capitol of the World” be without live music? Luckily we won’t have to find out. We are very excited to announce that Nakia & His Southern Cousins will be preforming at the Austin Tweetup on 3/15!
About Nakia & His Southern Cousins:
Growing up in the only biracial family in a small Alabama town, the son of a Hispanic father and mother of Irish stock, Nakia Reynoso (who goes by Nakia) didn’t exactly fit in - but channeled middle school racist-tinged bullying into soul music – all the way to Austin, where he has been packing in crowds, getting serious buzz, and attention from national press. He’s already shared the stage with Sharon Jones, who volunteers, “He’s the real deal ya’ll, he’s got some serious soul.” Along with his band The Southern Cousins, and backup singers The Fresh-Up Girls, he’s one of the few newcomers to bring the crowd to its feet at the prestigious Austin City Limits Music Festival last year. Nakia releases his debut album, Water To Wine on April 7, passionately rooting out the Stax/Volt spirit with a dose of his own authentic southern-fried rock.
With A Hearty Endorsement From Sharon Jones,Austin Soul Man, Nakia, Releases Debut Water To Wine
“The debut full-length from Nakia proves the Appalachian-born belter one of Austin’s most talented singers. Booming, deeply soulful, and accented with the occasional twang, his pipes propel an impressive set of Allmans-inspired Southern gospel…poignant anti prejudice anthem, “There Goes the Neighborhood” hits all the right notes, “Elizabeth Lee” adds a dose of dirty Delta blues, and “Choose Your Poison” spikes a dash of New Orleans piano boogie.” - The Austin Chronicle
