50 First Drinks Kicks Off Today
A new Twitter based Milwaukee bar promotion kicks off today with its first free drinking event. Followers of 50 First Drinks on Twitter will receive a Tweet at 3:50 this afternoon with the location, password, and special drink selection for today’s event. The first 50 people who show up at the drinking establishment will get their first drink for free. 50 First Drinks will do this every Tuesday throughout the summer, with a different location each week.
The locations of each week’s event will be kept secret until the 3:50 Tweet. As Stanley Miller wrote about in his blog last month, Lakefront Brewery is a client of the organizer of 50 First Drinks, and will most likely be one of the locations.
If Twitter and Tweeting is beyond your technological comfort level, you can also sign up to receive an email of the event details at 3:50 each Tuesday. For more details, check out the 50 First Drinks website.
Milwaukee Consumer is on Twitter
Our regular readers may have already noticed the Twitter updates in our sidebar. If you haven’t noticed, we took an important step this week in publicizing Milwaukee Consumer by joining Twitter. We have set up our blog to automatically update Twitter whenever we publish a new post. We also plan on using Twitter to update our followers on deals that might be good, but not necessarily worthy enough of a full blog posting.
