Twestival TO 2010!

Lisa & Wendy - Co-founders of The Hip & Urban Girl's Guide

I just made it home after a long night at Twestival TO 2010, held at Tryst Nightclub in Toronto.  Made lots of new friends and hung out with other hip bloggers like Chickadvisor, Cashmere Clutch, KarmaCake & Re-Inventing Sandy B.

This unique networking event attracted over 500 attendees and raised $20,000 for @concern at the Toronto party.  While major cities around the world held the same event on the same night.  Lots of fun free swag like gel skins, t-shirts, enviro-gift bags, balmshell lip balm, felt coffee cup holders, notebooks, fuze drinks and cookies!  We can't wait to see the photos from the photobooth.

Doors opened at 7 PM and the place was pretty packed by around 8:30 PM.  People starting hitting the dance floor after enough drinks had flowed by 9 PM or so.  It was a great chance to catch up with the girls and meet SO many entrepreneurs, marketing & sales consultants, web designers and twitter fanatics that are based out of Toronto!  You forget how much hustle is out there and how hard entrepreneurs have to work to get the word out.  Twitter has been such an instrumental tool for myself.  

Swag!

Global News Toronto also showed up and interviewed me for The Hip & Urban Girl's Guide!  Catch it online on the News Final from March 24th - me making a fool of myself and not able to get the words out of my mouth.  Why did my brain stop working?  Nice to see everybody and you can follow me on twitter @hipurbangirl.
