Day two has to be split into two, maybe even three blog posts. Between the tours and the guest speakers, there is so much to share. I am going to just talk about the first half of the day- the tours. Let the Tweetup begin! :)
I arrived at KSCVC around 8am. There were still people checking in and there was a crowd of attendees hanging out in front of the check in area. I found some people I knew and waited. They ushered us into the Debus center for introductions once everybody had checked in. Now we all had to take a turn standing up and introducing ourselves. We had to say our name, our twitter handle, and an interesting fact. I can talk up a storm, but in order to talk into a microphone, I have to be prepared- mainly because I can hear my voice and it always startles me. This was an incredibly diverse crowd. By the time it got to me, I just stood up (don't forget- over 150 people in the room) and this is basically what I said, "Hi, my name's Sherry Valare, my Twitter is @Catahouligan, I am a math and astronomy major. Oh and I own the dog." Of all the things I could say but hey, the good news is that I mentioned Pupples and the better news is that people knew what that meant.
Now, fast forward, introductions are over, and they announce it is time to head to the bus for the tours. We had four buses, I hopped on Bus 1 with some of my other buddies (and Bus 1 was definitely the cool bus, by the way). Moving right along...
