Fight the flu. Come to a Tweetup.

A series of events in a schizophrenic Choose Your Own Adventure novel?  No.

Two of the least fruitful commands to attempt in any of the Zork games?  Perhaps.

Seemingly unrelated but inexplicably intertwined items on my to-do list for Thursday evening?  Quite so.

From Lifebridge Health’s website:

When: Thursday, October 15, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Where: Little Havana,
1325 Key Highway, Baltimore, MD 21230

What: To kick off cold and flu season (i.e., help people avoid getting sick), LifeBridge Health is hosting a Tweetup. Join Sinai’s John Cmar, M.D., (@cmaaarrr) and LifeBridge infectious disease experts for giveaways, door prizes and a look at what we’re doing to spread the word about the importance of washing your hands.

Here’s your chance to meet other Baltimore Tweeps face-to-face for happy hour. Enter our fishbowl raffle, and you could win a GPS Garmin, a French press, Little Havana gift certificates and more!

For the record, I did suggest a Cuban martial artist with the word FLU tattooed across his bare chest be at the Tweetup to randomly spar with attendees, but that idea was summarily rejected. “It was his hourly fee, or the GPS” I was told. I still maintain that would have been a better raffle prize…

Pit-fighting or no, if you are in the Baltimore area, stop by Little Havana on Thursday evening.  It will be fun, because I will make it so.  And don’t think I can’t.
