Beak to Beak: Meeting Twarmic Tweeps at Twestival Hong Kong
The Hyper Team @ Venture Hype | Sep 09, 2009
This is a title we thought we’ll never write. Not much related to angel investors is it? Although, attending Twestival Hong Kong will still make you some kind of angel — the charity fundraising and money-donating kind.
Venture Hype likes angels of all kinds. We did our small part and donated too. Now’s your turn.
Twestival Hong Kong is part of Twestival Local — a Twitter-related festival that takes place in cities all over the world. It’s a great opportunity for local twitterers (or tweeps or tweeters or tweeple or twiticens or whatever you want to be called right now) to meet each other and hang out, all while raising money for worthwhile local charities. The first global Twestival was held in February 2009 and had 202 cities participate, raising enough money to give clean water to 16,000 people. That’s a lot of thirst quenched.
Now, Twestival Locals are springing up all around the world to continue the legacy, and of course Hong Kong participates. If you’re in Hong Kong on September 12, 2009 (Saturday), join Twestival Hong Kong! It starts at 8:30pm and will be held at two neighboring clubs – the Culture Club Gallery and Guru. Get more details on Twestival Hong Kong’s blog listed in the “Links” section below.
Here’s what you’ll find when you show up (note that we’ve written it in Twitter-friendly hashtags):
#livebands
#DJs
#comedians
#prizesgalore
#networking

#AndMoreTweetingThanYouCanShakeAStickAt
Oh, and did we mention: you’ll #raisemoney for #charity? Just show up, pay the entrance fee, tweet until your thumbs fall off, and you’ll be raising money for Twestival Hong Kong’s selected cause, Po Leung Kuk Orphanage’s Language Training Program, and having a blast while you do it. (We’d call that karma, except in the Twitterverse we’re sure it’s called Twarma).
