I am thrilled to have been asked to MC and perform at the Cape Town "Twestival" tomorrow night at Doppio Zero in Mandela Rhodes Place!
On Thursday, 12 February 2009, for 24 hours, more than 180 cities around the world will be hosting "Twestivals" - volunteer-run fundraising meet-ups for people who know each other through the micro-blogging service twitter.com - to bring Twitter communities together in the spirit of fun and for a good cause to tweet.meet.give. The global event, described as "a ‘tweet-up’ with a social conscience," will be raising money to support charity: water, a not-for-profit bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations.
The Cape Town Twestival has been embraced by the signature Mandela Rhodes Place, a prestigious venue located in the cultural quarter of the city bowl. Doppio Zero restaurant located in Mandela Rhodes Place will be the meeting place for all ‘Cape Town Twitters’. Tickets are available via Cape Town’s official twestival page, and all proceeds will go directly to the charity mentioned. There are also ‘ghost tickets’ for sale if Capetonians are out of town or cannot attend, but would like to donate towards the cause. Buy a ticket online before the event to assist with planning.
Tickets cost R100 and all the proceeds to to the charity! Doors open from 5pm and it promises to be a wonderful evening with music from yours truly & Sylvester Kabassidi and maestro magician Marcel! Hope to see fellow social media friends there!
