Having a hard time expressing your thoughts in 140 characters or less? (For the record, the previous question was 70 characters). We may be able to help with a special event for social media users like you – the Deep Fried Triangle Tweetup at the N.C. State Fair.

The event, co-hosted with the founders of Triangle Tweetup, will be held in the Folk Festival Tent Thursday, Oct. 22, from 7 to 9 p.m. And because we’re holding the tweetup on Food Lion Hunger Relief Day, everyone will get in free with four cans of food benefitting the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina.

Check out the promotional video below starring Triangle Tweetup’s Wayne Sutton and Jeff Cohen, as well as Cotton Candy, Firecracker, Green Thing and me. Special thanks to Zach Ward and Ted Hobgood for their work behind the scenes. (more…)
