HarvestTwestival makes its debut

September 26th, 2008 by Lloyd Gofton

I know, I know, no posts for weeks and then two in one day, I plead post wedding absence followed by return to work madness, but enough of that.

Harvest Twestival made its debut in London last night, at Doon off Trafalgar Square, and proved what a friendly bunch of Twittists you all are.

I must admit to a bit of trepidation prior to the event, I knew a few people on the list by reputation, and with minimal contact over email/Twitter, but had made no solid plans to meet up, so i was going in blind. But, as soon as i arrived I was greeted by friendly faces at the door, who as it turned out were volunteers, and it continued from there on in. Everyone was friendly, genuinely interested in meeting others and like me, most had turned up not knowing a sole.

The evening was a joy, everyone got on, and by the time the raffle came around we were all a little worse for ware, and slightly rowdy, but that just added to the fun of the event, the proceeds of which went to The Connection at St Martin-in-the-fields. Special thanks goes to @RobertSnell who joined me in my voyage of discovery as we met up with the good, the mad and the bladdered throughout the evening. Good to meet you finally @timhoang and sorry i missed you @simoncollister and @amayfield - it was too packed, and there were too many hiding places to seek everyone out!

So, to @HarvestTwest and @amandita, I salute you on a job well done, to all of those i met, too many to mention here, I hope we can stay in touch and thank you for a great evening.

Role on the next event, and I for one will be there.
