Early, early, early Friday morning Kim, myself, and a select group of Central Florida social media practitioners met at the WESH 2 studios in Maitland for a behind-the-scenes look at the facility and the business.

The morning began with a treat thanks to The Daily City: waffles (via @ Melissa’s Chicken & Waffles)! Much needed at 6:15am, for sure! Then after everyone licked their fingers in delight, we all checked in and got the download about WESH 2 by way of Digital Manager @gabetrav and Team.

One of highlights of the morning, for sure, was getting an opportunity to watch a live broadcast of the news. Fascinating! Thanks to the Wesh 2 Crew for being so curtious:

• Jason Guy
• Syan Rhodes
• Kimberly Williams
• Amy Sweezey
• Aixa Diaz

Thanks, WESH, for this great experience! It’s much appreciated.

It’s about that time for another Community Manager Yelp Orlando Tweetup. This one’s taking place next Thursday evening (1/26) from 6-8pm at The Falcon in downtown Orlando’s Thornton Park neighborhood.

Here’s your chance to kick off the New Year by meeting other folks in Central Florida who love the interwebs like you! And here’s my favorite part: “Fish Out of Water Sushi Truck will be on site for yum yums and Happy Hour is from 6-8pm and it’s $1 off all beer, wine, cider, & saki!” How can you pass that up as an early start to your weekend?

Here are the location deets:

The Falcon
819 E Washington St
Orlando, FL 32801
407.423.2788

More information and to RSVP for the Tweetup can be found here. See you there?

So, we’re clearly not racing fans over here at Pulse, but I felt compelled to mention this race for a couple of reasons.

First, it’s pretty cool to see that social media has found its way into this world. The folks managing the Rolex Series are hosting a Tweetup Saturday, January 29, at 10:15 a.m. in the Fan Zone at the Speedway. For more information about the Tweetup or the race, follow @RolexSeries on Twitter.

Second, Patrick Dempsey is one of the drivers. Yes, that Patrick Dempsey. You know, the one who made nerds cool in “Can’t Buy Me Love,” or for you youngins, “Dr. McDreamy” on “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Another cool thing to note, kids under 12 are FREE. Tickets are still available here.
