Hey all you social medialights, guess what next Wednesday is?? Yes, it is the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Independence Day (they separated from Belgium in 1960), but more importantly, it’s Social Media Day in Philadelphia! On June 8th, Mashable announced that the 30th would be forever declared Social Media Day, a holiday celebrating the revolution of media becoming a social dialog.

We thought this was an awesome idea, and jumped right on the bandwagon, opting to organize the Philly meetup. Chevy joined in as a sponsor, we worked with the Field House on 11th and Filbert near the Convention Center to plan the event, and other groups clamored to join in on the festivities. Mashable updated their original post and event featured Social Media Day Philly as one of the cooler Meetups taking place!

This year’s Social Media Day Philly is shaping up to be the best one EVER (technically, it’s the first ever, so it will be the best ever by default, but regardless!), and we have lots of fun stuff planned for the nearly 100 people who have already RSVPd, including Twizzo! So grab your friends (even if they don’t have a blog and aren’t on Twitter), because we’re going to have a blast on the 30th. RSVP Here!

And don’t forget to follow @smdphilly on Twitter for details about the event and for a chance to win more drink tickets from Chevy!
