Alternate title: Come get your hands on small business!

When I was in Chicago this summer, I spent one lovely evening having dinner with the Kirtsy girls. At one point I may have pleaded with them to bring their Hands on Social Media classes to Oklahoma City, because I’m tired of having to explain Twitter to you people.

It’s microblogging, you all! See?!?

Anyway, the Kirtsy girls were listening …

Women across the country will be coming together this Fall for the October and November Hands On Small Business (#HOSB) series — all brought to you in by the Politics, World and Business section of Kirtsy and the very good people of Microsoft Office Live . All of the 100 gatherings will be held October 5 – November 20 in 20 areas across the country including:

(blah blah blah lots of cities that are not Oklahoma City, but then …)

Oklahoma City

Yee haw.

But wait! It gets BETTER! Not only is #HOSB coming to the OC, I’ll be teaching the workshops.

Do you know what that means? It means that I WILL EXPLAIN TWITTER TO YOU, and you will fall in love with it and make it work for your small business. You’re welcome.

Showing my love of Twitter. Also holding a pen, for no good reason.

I’m so excited about this. If you’re a small business owner in the OKC area and you want to know how to make social media work for you, please plan to join us. (Not a small business owner, but still curious about social media? Come on out! The more the merrier!)

#HOSB OKC (whew, say that ten times fast) will take place at The Full Circle Bookstore at 50 Penn Place on the following dates:

Wednesday, October 14, 10:00 am - noon

Monday, October 26, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Monday, November 2, 10:00 am - noon

Monday, November 9, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Saturday, November 14, 10:00 am - noon

Each workshop is entirely free, but I promise you, the take-away will be invaluable. I hope to see you all there.

Because seriously, I’m so tired of trying to explain Twitter …
