Twestival Home

And so the day has arrived - Twestival Belfast is tonight - from 8pm - in Laverys Bunker. We’ve got a Rock Band Tournament (with games & instruments kindly donated by @designbyfront & Mac-Sys) going on, as well as DJ sets from @muchodanke (Resident @twostepclub DJs) and @emro (Resident DJ at @blackoutclub).

Thanks again to all the local businesses and Twitters who helped us put together some prizes last minute. First prize for the Rock Band tournament is a Replica Fender Stratocaster - which is a pretty amazing donation from the Belfast Guitar Emporium. We’ll also have a small raffles, the prizes of which include:

• £40 meal voucher for McHughs. (thanks to McHughs Bar & Restaurant)
• £20 food & drink voucher for Charlies Coffee Shop. (thanks to @charliescoffee)
• £25 iTunes Voucher. (thanks to Tesco and @itsabenzbaby)
• 2x Web Standardistas Books. (thanks to @standardistas)
• 2x tickets to Lowly Knights on 19th February (thanks to @twostepclub)
• 2x tickets to Bop Yestrum. (thanks to @bopyestrum)
• Foy Vance CD. (thanks to @foyvance)

Thanks to Duke Special we also have:

• Signed “Special edition CD”: ‘I Never Thought This Day Would Come’ album
• A ‘making of the album’ photo book
• A short Duke Special storybook
• A metal pin badge of the Duke Piano taken from the album artwork
• 3 black and white ‘paint yourself’ album covers
• A set of paint with painting competition rules

Remember, the biggest part of this (apart from raising money from charity obviously) is uniting the local Twitter community. We’ll have stickers for everyone to write their usernames on - the bar will be open so grab a beer and get chatting!

It’s also worth thanking everyone thats supported us with tweets and blogs in our efforts to bring this to Belfast. It’s been a mad scramble to put something together at such short notice, and while it might not be as “impressive” as the other events around the world, it’s still an excellent opportunity to get together and raise some money for charity. See everyone tonight!
