Rise And Fire

In case you missed the announcement earlier today, we’re pretty stoked to be a part of #RazUp, a “tweetup” gathering later this month for online Hog fans.

Our friend Brandon Marcello of WholeHogSports.com has been spearheading the planning of this event and laid out a few of the details today…including the obvious question:

What’s a “tweetup,” you ask?  It’s a chance for Arkansas fans and avid Twitter users to meet up — gasp! — in person, share stories and talk all things Hogs with fellow fans and the members of the media they follow on Twitter.

We’re calling it #RazUp and the first one has been scheduled for June 18 at 6 p.m.  The location has yet to be set, but it will be at a local establishment in Fayetteville. The details of the event, including the location, will be announced soon.

Having a chance to hang out in person and discuss all things Razorback with those of you who visit with us here regularly is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time.  And hopefully this event can grow into a regular gathering as the seasons change from football to basketball to baseball.  (Yes…there are other seasons besides football.)

All of the details will be set soon, but for now you can use Facebook or Twtvite to RSVP.  Also, you can keep up with all the event info by following (and using) the #RazUp hash tag on Twitter.

Both HogBlogger and I are planning to attend and we’re excited to be participating in this event.  We hope to see many of you there and, as Brandon said, “meet up, eat, drink and talk Hogs.”
