Yesterday I wrote about two suggestions I put forward for improving #journchat. Today, I’m very happy to report that @PRSarahEvans (who initiated #journchat) has taken one of the ideas a step further and is leading the charge for simultaneous #journchat tweetups in key city centres in the US (and of course Canada).
On Monday, August 17, 2009 from 7:30 – 10:00pm ET (6:30 – 9:00pm CT), the usual Monday night discussion will be replaced by #journchat LIVE.
Following is a snapshot of the #journchat LIVE concept from a Facebook message that Sarah Evans sent out last night:
So I’ve decided to throw my hat into the ring and help champion #journchat LIVE in Toronto. With your help and input, we can come up with the perfect location and ensure the night is a success.
If you are interested in attending #journchat LIVE, please let me know and also provide some suggestions for locations that you think could work. Thanks and looking forward to meeting you there!

I am the one planning it in Detroit. I took a poll of the people I know on facebook and they agreed. Which was really interesting. Since I have never planned anything, I haven’t been in the biz long, and I didn’t realize journalists and PR folks don’t like each other. Since we have been in #journchat the rules didn’t apply.

Hope all goes well with your Detroit planning. I have a feeling that it’s going to be mostly PR folks participating, but of course it would be great if we could get some media, bloggers, etc. on board as well.
