#LDNTwestival 2011: an evening of social fun for charity

#LDNTwestival 2011: an evening of social fun for charity

Last Thursday we attended the #LDNTwestival the London event that forms part of Twestival, a single day consisting of a global movement which uses social media to organise local community events in support of a local cause or charity. A list of official events can be found here.

This year's #LDNTwestival was held at The Cape in the City of London and supports the Centrepoint charity. Centrepoint's main mission is to tackle homelessness among young people. The event was organised by volunteers and 100% of the money raised from ticket and raffle sales went to Centrepoint. The total amount raised was US$8,969.84 as of 30 March 2011.

Some of the raffle prices were pretty cool. Included were three months of burritos by Chilango, a vintage vodka, Nintendo Wii, Soda Stream, a Financial Times subscription and ten limited edition Angry Birds slingshot toys courtesy of #LeStudio52. We bought £10 worth of raffle tickets, but alas didn't win anything. Still all the monies goes directly to Centrepoint, so it wasn't a lost cause.

Funniest moment of the evening was when Nick of The Average Gamer won an Angry Bird. We joked about how those who already had the birds would probably win one, and Nick did! Lucky Voice were there organising karaoke. Check out the fabulous Heather Taylor rocking it out in this photo set of the evening by yours truly.

BBC Radio 3: Big Red Nose Show with Largest Kazoo Ensemble

BBC Radio 3: Big Red Nose Show with Largest Kazoo Ensemble

Audience at yesterday's BBC Radio 3 Red Nose Show at the Royal Albery Hall has set a new world record for 'Largest Kazoo Ensemble'. The record involved 3910 audiences taking part, 49 more than the previous record set in Sydney back in 2009. Me and @hardij were there when the record, played over Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries and the Dambusters March, was broken. The chaotic video below was recorded via my N8, so please excuse the blurriness. Add that to YouTube compression, and it isn't the most stunning video but at least you get the idea.



The event will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on Friday 18 March 2011 at 7pm, as part of Red Nose Day telethon for the Comic Relief charity.

I am growing a moustache!

That is right, as part of the Movember challenge, I've stopped shaving and is attempting to grow my first moustache in support of The Prostate Cancer charity. Really, is there a better way to welcoming oneself into the 30s than growing a mustache? I think not!

If you want to sponsor either me and/or team #LeStudio52 (who I am part of), you can do so here. Thank you for your support!
