Twestival
January 14, 2009 by Documentally
On the 25th of September 2008 myself and Matt (@Barnstormed) found ourselves at the first ever Twestival at the Doon Bar, Trafalger Square London.
Here is one of the videos we shot that night.
On the 12th of February 2009 Twestival really grows up, as cities all around the world will be hosting their own Twestivals bringing together Twitter communities not just to party but this time to raise money and awareness for charity: water projects.
These Twestivals will be organized by volunteers and 100% of the money raised will go directly to support charity: water projects.
Why should you care..?
We are in the perfect position being the communicators we are, to blog, tweet and disseminate this kind of information all around the world. Raising awareness, money and assistance for whatever we can.
Whatever you use twitter for you have built connections and every node in those connections can possible help in some way. They just need to know to care and knowing you care helps that message along at lightning speed.
Charity: Water is a non profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations by funding sustainable clean water solutions in areas of greatest need.
At this moment in time 1.1 billion people on the planet don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. That’s one in six of us.
Lets put our skills to good use and spread the word. I am sure we can all do good if we care to.
Even better than that.. donate some money..

See you at @Twestival!!
Cool video, looks like the twestivals are a lot of fun and a good opportunity to meet new people.
The bit at 02:57 made me giggle, I thought you was about to regurgitate! Must have been the camera angle that made it look that way!
