* Don't have it in a loud bar where you have to scream to be heard (2nd'd)
* Nametags (2nd'd)
* Reserve space or use a normally empty-ish location
* Lots of advanced notice
* Host(s) who mingle, interact and make introductions
* Flickr pool
* Don't assume that every attendee has an iphone

* Never never ever use the word "elite" in the tweetup description
* Free alcohol
* Not downtown
* Starts after 7PM. After 9PM is even better
* Don't have it in a loud bar where you have to scream to be heard
* Fast wifi
* Deploy a Brightkite wall if possible, or if there's a projector and internet connection, a self-updating twitterwall
* No panels, guest lectures, or "presentations" by "social media experts"
* Nametags
* Strippers
* (that last one was a joke)
