A bunch of super fans have asked me about doing This Week in Startups later in the day so that they could host a "TWIST Meetup" or watching party. As such, I'm wondering what the @TWIST superfans thing of:

a) Having #TWIST @ 5PM Pacific/8PM Eastern on Friday.
b) Would you host a watching party/meetup?
c) In what city would you host and home many people do you think would come?

    a) great, Saturday at the same time would work well too
    b) definitely, I don’t have my mac mini hooked up to a HD projector for nothin!
    c) Baltimore. Would start smallish (5-10 people) but would hopefully get more people interested in watching the show

    Later in the day ain’t good for your international audience.
    I think it’s already kind of difficult for most of them to try and see the show when you record it.
    I guess it kind of depends on what your advertisers want, what audience do they want?
    And do you want want more or less people from Europe or other countries calling in?
    I couldn’t care less about having a party.

    Having lunchtime or close to the end of the day (PST).

    Yes, we have already talked about hosting a small party.

    Party would be in Newport Beach.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.
