A few weeks ago I was twittering about organizing a Twestival for the Iasi twitter-ers. Well, yesterday, since we had a blogmeet and therefore an opportunity to talk about this, we (me, @DanielDamian, @Haipa and a few more) agreed to make it real. So we created @iasitwest, the Iasi Twestival twitter profile which you can follow here. Currently we are trying to establish a date and find a place to held this event. Since we already have 38 followers in a few hours I am tempted to think that we will have an attendance of 50 to 70 persons minimal. That means we need a pretty large location. We were talking about Havana (close to the Universiy in Copou) but we might have a problem due to the 2 floors. I am thinking about going for a much larger room with plenty of space for socializing. We could try to go for the hallway of CCS (Casa de Cultura a Studentilor) but that means we have to bring our own drinks and snacks and that means finding some sponsors or having a fund raising effort in the previous week.
Anyway, because one of our friends is out of town from the 19th of february till th 23rd, I think it would be unfair to have this event in that period, and since sooner than the 19th it would be too close, I find it reasonable to have it on the 27th or 28th of February.
About what will happen there … I honestly don’t know yet. I think out main objective is offline networking. Other than that, I think we should have a series of subjects to discuss so this meeting will have a real purpose. We could talk about how to use twitter for CSR campaigns, how we can help Iasi by using twitter and of course how to use twitter in advertising campaigns. Of course, I think we should also have a theme party and I am waiting for propositions. So … follow @iasitwest and stay close to us.
In the beginning, we should just think of expading the Iasi Twitter network. We coul ask for Iasi twitters to invite at least 1 person. Then we party and they will see it is nice to be a twitter 🙂
@Razvan Girmacea: I forgot about that idea. Yeah, we could do that. And, I forgot, Trilulilu is sponsoring us with some objects that can be sold for charity reasons. 😉 Maybe you can do just the same!
I have an afro wig, flared pants, oversized glasses and can get fake ID’s :))
@Ioana:
I can also get a wig and some supersized glasses. No fake ID though. 🙁 Can I have one?
Sure I’ll talk to my friend that has a friend that knows a guy that can get to the guy that makes ID’s…no problem 🙂
