London Tweetup – April 22nd 7:30

titusferguson — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 15:13:33 +0000

Tomorrow, Tuesday April 22nd, will be the first tweetup in London. This will be a chance to meet in real life people you may follow through Twitter in London or area. The tweetup will start around 7:30.

The event will be held at Coffee Culture on Richmond St (map) in the back area of the coffee house.

I’d encourage anyone in the area to come out and help build the social media community in London. Follow me, or blogldn on Twitter for more information.

HUGE thanks to Greg at From My Bottom Step for the tip off that London Media Fair 2008 is going down in a couple weeks. Saturday, March 29, from 1 – 5 pm in the Stevenson-Hunt rooms at the Central Branch of the London Public Library.
.
“The room will be filled with people showing, selling and trading their independent media, including zines, comics, silkscreened patches, posters, literature / art / political content, local music, photography, film, and online media.”
.
There is also some talks going on that sound pretty interesting so… I really want to make it out to this event, I might be able to drum up more attendees for our meetup, if you are going let me know and we can meet up there.

Whats Going on This Weekend!

Well this weekend at the Fair Grounds there is the World of Motorcycles Expo on the 10th and 11th and The London Woodworking Show the 9th thru the 11th. Billy Tallent is playing Thursday night at the JLC and tickets are still available online, by phone (519-681-0800), or at the JLC Box Office. Also next Thursday the Barenaked Ladies are playing which I have tickets for, but if I’m not mistaken they are Sold Out. If you don’t have tickets I would keep trying as sometimes there are some last minute tickets added to the pool! I’m totally stoked about seeing BNL, I’ve heard they are amazing to see live, I haven’t seen them yet, and I love their music.
