Last night was the inaugural Harvest Twestival; organised perfectly by Amanda and Ben and sponsored, in part, by us.
It was the best meetup event I’ve been to for a long time. If not the best night out for ages.
The London Twitter crowd are a genuinely lovely mix of people. A vibrant mix of creatives, webby types, designers, bloggers, developers, musicians, podcasters, PR folk and everything inbetween. We talked about music, user experience, Twitter, iPhones, booze, photography, becoming a MySpace band. Everything.
We met those we’ve followed for ages and got to put faces to usernames. I met friends of friends who I didn’t even know were on Twitter to start with. What more could you want from an event?
All in all it was a brilliant chance to catch up with old friends and acquaintanc
es, as well as a perfect chance to make new friendships and tap into the collective wisdom of our local Twitter scene.
We’re anticipating the next one. No pressure guys!
i’m so coming to the next one. i’ll buy smart clothes and won’t embarrass you and everything

Hi Simon – I’m glad you enjoyed the event – sorry I didn’t get the chance to meet you there but thank you very much for your support in making the event a success…
Hopefully see you at the next one!

I can’t believe I missed this! Will teach me to go away on holiday and have a week away from Twitter
Looking forward to the next one too – and hope I’ll be around for it.
