On February 12, 2009 175+ cities around the world will be hosting “Twestivals” which bring together Twitter communities for an evening of fun and to raise money and awareness for charity: water. If you’re not a Twitter user, don’t be shy… this event is open to anyone! If you’d like to sign up for Twitter, click here. Be sure to follow BRTweetup to stay up to date on all future events. Gatorworks is hosting the local Baton Rouge Twestival at 600 Main Bar downtown. The evening will start at 6PM, and Bode & Friends (jazz and funk band) will take the stage at 7PM. We will ask for a $15 donation at the door, but whatever you can give is fine with us! We will provide food and a cash bar as well as the opportunity to meet many local Baton Rouge business professionals.

Again, if you’re not a Twitter user, don’t be shy… this event is open to anyone! If you’d like to sign up for Twitter, click here. Be sure to follow BRTweetup to stay up to date on all future events.

Baton Rouge Twestival to be Hosted by Gatorworks

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Gatorworks’ very own David Link is organizing the first ever Baton Rouge Twestival. We’re in the middle of lining up a venue for the event scheduled for February 12, 2009. This event will act as both February’s #brtweetup (Baton Rouge Tweetup) as well as an opportunity to raise money for charity: water.

Our goal is to raise $4,000 to help drill a well in an Ethiopian village. In an area where people make less than $1 a day, these expensive improvements are hard to come by without our help.

If you have suggestions for venue, entertainment, or any thing else, PLEASE leave a comment or contact myself or David Link. I will update this blog with more information as it comes along. If you are interested in attending/helping out … please let me know. We can’t do this without you.

Stay Tuned!
