Twestival - the Tweeting Festival - hits DC

Quick post about an event next week - the Washington DC Twestival is part of an international event taking place in over 175 cities. As it has grown in the past few weeks from volunteers hosting in dozens of cities, the attention has grown as well in blogs such as Social Times, and event partner Mashable has reported that Live Earth will be a global broadcast partner.

The video below details the goals of the event. You can get tickets here, and also follow on Twitter and on the day of the event watch on Live Earth video.
