2nd DC Tweetup: Game 6

@vulcansmuse here, reporting on behalf of @lorirusso.

D.C. had a tremendous turn-out for its second NHL Tweetup. It was planned pending Game 6, which wasn’t decided until Friday night. So, while the twtvite went out, people were hesitant to RSVP out of superstition before the Caps won Game 5 (say it isn’t so, right?). But, as soon as the Caps pulled off a sweet victory in the Phone Booth on Friday night, the RSVPs rolled in, and on Sunday, tweeps gathered in and even brought friends to our hosting brewpub, Old Dominion Brewhouse. A few guests who came in to watch the game at ODB saw our excitement, and ended up joining our section as well! A total of 29 tweeps gathered in to watch the Caps knock off the Rangers in Game 6 to force Game 7 back to Caps’ home ice in the nation’s capital!

We will, of course, continue to mini-tweetup at Game 7, as we have during the playoff home games. We have enjoyed meeting, re-meeting and getting to see each other during the week and see faces outside of Twitter.

Thanks to Old Dominion for being our gracious hosts for a second time around, and for providing great prizes for giveaways, including drinks, hats, shirts, and even Capitals logo glasses, since we didn’t have any luring Caps gear to give away like we did last time! It was a great day for the Tweetup in D.C., and a fantastic afternoon for hockey!

Come on Game 7! Let’s Go Caps! Keep it up, because these D.C. tweeps want more tweetups if we go to Round 2!!!
