Dr. Thomas Ho sent me down the internet archive rabbit hole today when he tweeted that it is the 10th anniversary of the first Indianapolis Twitter meetup. I have been getting in the habit of archiving events on my site, so I started by searching my old tweets. I found the original Upcoming.org (Yahoo, actually) event URL. Since they re-launched in recent years and archived old events, I was able to find that and set up my own event page.
Here are some other links related to the event, so I have them all in one place:

We were so young and Twitter was so much fun! Good times. Let me know if you have any other photos or information to add.

@MsSwank Yesterday at church I got a coffee mug with hearts on it. I forgot to take a picture, but I thought, “it’s a Suzi mug.”
gRegor Morrill on gregorlove.com:I’m experimenting with a new post footer on my homepage.
I’ve launched this on both my homepage and article permalinks. I’m still working out where to include the next/previous post links, but I thought this was good enough of an improvement to launch it.
Below is a screenshot of what it looked like previously. Compare that with the new version.
Sarah Ruth on twitter.com:You know that feeling when someone blows up your Instagram feed instead of adding several pictures to one post? But you don’t really wanna unfollow ?
Don’t subtweet me, Sarah.
I’m experimenting with a new post footer on my homepage. I got some good feedback when someone wanted to comment from the homepage. They clicked follow my posts and were confused by the suggestions to subscribe with Feedly, Woodwind, etc. In this mockup I’ve added links directly to the responses and the form to leave a new response.
I also wanted to have a slightly larger photo and little blurb about me on the homepage. That let me remove a line from the published date + syndication links. I think it makes a better place for the follow my posts button as well.
One thing I’m still working through is the link to the previous post. I couldn’t find a good position for it, so removed it for this mockup. I think I would still like to find a place for it that looks good, but maybe it isn’t strictly necessary? The next+previous links will continue to appear on the permalink for each post, plus there is the Archives page.
