NCMA Tweetup: A Night At The Museum

Okay, tonight is the night! This is a bit of an update to the Meet Me At The Museum post. Here are some more details for all you Triangle Tweetup attendees. I’m just going to break it down with a quick list.

• Parking: Park in the Blue Ridge visitors lot (to the right) or main Museum parking lot (to the left), your choice. Both locations have paved walkways to the event.
• Site: The tweetup will be held outdoors beside the West Building. Just follow the posters to the Star Tent.
• Cost: Tweetup cost is $6 cash per guest, collected at the registration table. No need to print your RSVP ticket, we’ll have a list at the door. You’ll get a badge for entry to the movie, plus goodies like custom tweetup T-shirt and museum exhibit tickets!
• Learn: Look for Jennifer, Chad and Melissa to learn more about current and upcoming Museum exhibits and collections. They are are smart and passionate about art!
• Winning: You’ll get a raffle ticket to win cool things including Museum membership, Hot tickets to upcoming exhibits like Rembrandt in America and other surprises! NCMA is the only museum to see the new Rembrandt collection on the east coast this year.
• Yum: The @OnlyBurger food truck will be parked right beside the tweetup. They accept cash or credit. We heart their burgers and you will too! (Remember to #BackTheTrucks Raleigh!)
• Drinks: Choose from 3 flavors of awesome NC Beer courtesy of the excellent Lone Rider and Natty Greene’s! Southern Pale Ale, Guilford Golden Ale and Shotgun Betty Hefeweizen. We’ll also provide plenty of water. Please stay hydrated and drink responsibly!
• Explore: The Tweetup is an outdoor social and movie viewing but feel free to wander off through the West Building or walking trails if you want to go exploring with your friends.
• Snaps: The West Building features a photo friendly museum policy. Snap away and share your favorite pieces. Just leave the tripod and flash at home.
• Watch: The Social Network movie screening starts at 8:30pm. Your tweetup badge is your admission ticket. Here are some handy tips for the outdoor theater. Bring a blanket or chair.
• Tagging: Hashtag your photos and tweets with #ncmatweetup or #triangletweetup or both – we can’t wait to see your tweets and crazy movie commentary.
