Twestival Twas Twawesome!
Last night was Twestival – where about 175 cities around the world partied it up to raise money for Charity: Water. According to this video, there’s people out there drinking crazy ass water (by crazy ass I’m not talking about jazzing it up with a few lemon slices, no, I’m talking the bad sort of crazy ass).
Now, dear reader, let me ask you this: when wouldn’t you party for a good cause? My answer would be if racists decide to throw a benefit party speaking out against those who are against racism. Cause, if you’re against racists, doesn’t that make you a racist to racists? (I know being a racist is not a race, for the sake of humor, please accept the previous sentence). Either way, the racist thing would be a cause, but not a good one. I also can’t believe I’m still on this racist tangent when I’m supposed to be talking about Twestival Mtl.
Twestival Mtl was probably the coolest Twestival in the whole world? Why? Cause (warning: conceited remark coming up) I was there!! No no no, in all seriousness, it was a really great party organized by equally great or greater people. I got to finally put more faces and voices to some of my Twitter friends which is always an awesome ordeal.
The Twestival took place at Montreal’s Suco Lounge. A very nice, posh bar located on St.Laurent, just south of Sherbrooke. There was a nice slew of people there when me and my buddy David (who, after last night’s party, decided to join Twitter, follow him here) arrived around 8:15. The music was happening, people were networking, and the beer was aplenty (thanks Molson!). There was a projection screen (set up by @_fx_) that displayed, in real-time, all the Tweets that mentioned the words Twestival, water, or Charity:Water.
The thing about going to a twitter party, this being my first, is that you enter a place where you sort’ve know everyone but don’t. It’s hard to tell who’s who and who you can decipher from profile pictures (yes! I looked at all of them!). Once you start networking and meeting people, it’s fun and rewarding to finally meet the people you follow on Twitter. I mean, some of these people have watched my video and they had no qualms with talking to me and weren’t worried about whether or not I’d suddenly begin talking to imaginary animals.
There was a photo booth area where people were encouraged to make use of a pair of googles, a bath brush, and rubber duckies in front of a shower curtian while Eva Blue took pictures. It sounds more erotic than it was. Eva Blue was one of the first peeps from Montreal that I added on Twitter so it was like meeting a rockstar. Coincidentally she also takes pictures of rockstars. Check out her Flickr profile!
Finally, there was an awesome raffle with different prizes. The big prize was a trip to Vancouver with a free stay the Opus hotel down there (won by @JeanAymeri). The most notable prize was the OvoPur water cooler (won by @AdeleMcAlear). A designer water cooler priced at about $700 USD that looks like the robot EVE from the movie Wall-E. That’s if EVE from the movie Wall-E dispensed filtered water from her/it’s crotchal area. It’s a beautifully designed water dispenser that actually made me think about how lucky we are to live in developped countries. There’s places all over the world where people drink sludgy brown unfilitered water while here we’re designing $700 water coolers to dispense ours.
All in all, it was an awesome night. Lots of fun people who I hope to party again with in the near future. If you were there and we didn’t run into eachother! SHOW SOME LOVE!!
