Twestival tomorrow!
There are enough people still asking “What’s Twitter?” that announcing we’ll be participating in Montreal’s first Twestival tomorrow night may just add a layer of confusion. But to just skip to the chase, tomorrow night will see an awesome fundraising event that has it’s origins purely in the world of twitter, but has grown into a series of regional parties. The good cause benefiting from this twitter-organising is charity : water, a “non profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. We give 100% of the money raised to direct project costs, funding sustainable clean water solutions in areas of greatest need.”
Since our national WATER campaign, screening short films about H2O across the country, the wet stuff has remained and important issue to us here at CITIZENShift. Tomorrow night we will be screening some of the short films from that collection, and raffling off four of the WATER DVD collections. Other great prizes to win include water filters, eco-shower heads, Willam Marsden’s book on run-away oil development, ‘Stupid to the Last Drop’ and a grand prize trip for two to Vancouver with a stay at the Vancouver Opus.
Enterntainment will be provided by DJs Maus and Luv.Tickets are just 10$ in advance, 15$ at the door, with 100% of money raised going directly to providing clean drinking to a community in need. Liveliness starts at 6pm tomorrow night at Suco Lounge, 2108 boul. St-Laurent, Montréal, QC, H2X 2T2.
If you’re not in Montreal, there are Testivals happening around the word, in 120 cities to be precise. Find one near you!
