Wilmington Tweetup at Pomegranate Books, February 23, 2010

It was time for the monthly Wilmington (NC) Tweetup meeting and I was pretty excited because of the location: Pomegranate Books on Park Avenue. Pomegranate is an author-friendly bookstore as (well, I suppose they all are, but Pomegranate regularly hosts workshops and meetings for authors and authors-to-be).

They were ready for us, as you can see from the sign on the door!

The Pomegranate staff greeted early arrivals Shannan Bowen (who stopped in from the gym) and Kimberly Ott Brumsey (back to the camera). In the center is bookstore owner Kathleen Jewell.

Pomegranate's Anna Weddington has magic hands - look at how she can make them disappear in the light.

Once again a successful event. Thanks Sarah and Jackie for organizing it and thanks to Kathleen and the staff of Pomegranate Books for hosting this month's Wilmington Tweetup.
