Come on down, up, out, or over to a party with your Internet buddies in the Capital of the Confederacy: Richmond, Virginia.

We're calling it the "Charming Southeast Gathering, The Type Of Gathering That Takes Place When Twitter People Meet Up Generally For The First Time." A tad long, but it works.

While in Richmond, you can:

See where real-life slavery took place...for real!

Meet your online friends for the first time!

Drink on the very grounds where the slaves were kept! Not kidding, it was bigtime slaves here!

Make bacon and your mom jokes!

Or don't because those are too memey!

See really big statues because seriously guys we have a ton of statues here! Most of them are related to Civil War generals who fought against the north and, well really, it just all ties back into the slave thing.

Witness firsthand the bitter hatred and primal animal love between Stephanie and Jim!

See moderately tall buildings (no greater than 25 stories!)

Update your twitter status from the corner!

Learn about Richmond's floodwall, a multi-million dollar project completed in 1995 to protect the city and the region's businesses from the rising waters of the James River. (We'll tell you all about it once you get here!)

Also, did you know tennis player Arthur Ashe is from Richmond? Well guess what? HE WAS!

Come to town whenever you like (Thursday? Friday?), just be sure to be in Richmond on Saturday for a group dinner followed by the Charming Southeast Gathering, The Type Of Gathering That Takes Place When Twitter People Meet Up Generally For The First Time directly afterward.

Dinner location TBD. Bar scene at Havana '59.

Need a hotel? We have been given a great deal on rooms at the historic and charming Linden Row Inn. Enter the Attendee Code "SOMG." The special rate is $89 plus tax, so $100.57 per night if you book by January 31. If you need assistance, email @jephkelley at jeff.g.kelley@gmail.com.

If you have a sec, fill out all your personal details here. That list is rather incomplete at this hour.
