If you have plans for 10th September 2009 scrap them now. Whatever they are they'll be dull compared to the Glasgow Twestival.

We're hoping to raise £2500 for asthma charity No Strings Attached Scotland by bringing together Glasgow's twitterati for a night full of amazingly talented local bands and DJs as well as the chance to win a serious stack of prizes. The evening will be hosted by Clyde 1's twitter-fanatic Colin Kelly and tickets are selling fast!

Enter the promo code 'thirdsectorlab' and you can get yours for just £7 instead of the standard £10!

If you live in Glasgow and you use Twitter you're officially a 'tweegie'.

Want to meet other tweegies and raise lots of money for charity? Well you can do just that at the upcoming Glasgow Twestival.

Globally the last Twestival raised a staggering $250k for Charity:Water.

This time it's all about local causes.

Us tweegies have decided to let the twittersphere decide which charity will walk away with the funds raised. You can vote and/or nominate your chosen cause on our UserVoice page. There's some high profile causes on there already, such as ENABLE Scotland, Quarriers and the Big Issue Foundation along with some smaller charities, namely No Strings Attached and Glasgow Women's Library. Voting ends at 12pm on 31st July.

The event itself will feature the finest local musical talent. Glasgow band Any Color Black are the first act to get involved and we'll be announcing more over the next few weeks. We'll also have a raffle, auction and a few other surprises on the night.
