December 4th Tweetup this Friday at Lub*D Hostel in Silom

Last month at Lub*D Hostel was such a huge success—the staff was tremendously accommodating, you guys helped us break the bar sales record for the second time, we raised a lot of donations for In Search of Sanuk, and everyone seemed to love the venue—so this week we’re returning again to Silom to have one more party at Lub*D before the New Year.

Come out this Friday night, December 4th, starting at 8pm and going until late-night at Bangkok’s finest hostel, Lub*D.

20% of all your drink purchases will go to In Search of Sanuk to support volunteer and charity projects across Bangkok, and Lub*D’s “yellow donut bar” will again have the 2-beers-for-120 Baht special! (and hopefully those Heineken towers again too!)

Lub*D hostel is in Silom area on Decho Road, closest to Chong Nonsi BTS. See the map below.

Tweet to us (or about us) using #BKKtweetup and also download Foursquare on your smartphone and race me to being mayor of Lub*D! See you there this Friday!

November Tweetup Wrap-up

On November 6, Bangkok’s Twitterati gave us yet another fabulous meetup. Thanks to all of you, more than 50 or 60 people were in attendance and we raised a total of 4,700 Baht for charity! Special thanks go to Lub D hostel for providing us with a great venue and making a wonderful night possible.

We set the bar sales record for the second time—20% of all drink purchases were contributed to In Search of Sanuk, and we collected donations from individuals throughout the night to support ISOS’s various charity projects around Bangkok. On behalf of In Search of Sanuk, I would like to thank all of you for your generosity.

December’s Tweetup will be held on the first Friday, Friday the 4th. It’s coming up fast! We will announce the location in the coming weeks. Don’t forget to mark it on your calendar!

August Impact & Sept Twestival #lush2

In September your regular tweetup is getting injected with steroids and we’re throwing a huge party on Friday the 11th. So get your thumbs working and help get people excited about Bangkok’s Twestival Celebration.

Last month’s Tweetup featured @simplyshimona harmonizing the night away.

Thanks also to @martinperry for snapping great shots.

The tweetup drew about 80 people and together we raised 6,400b, mostly from people’s donations.

The money raised helped make some special moments for underprivileged kids the following week.

The funds you donated helped take kids from the ISOS project teaching in the slum to see the Harlem Globetrotters at Impact Arena (Details and more photos will be posted on insearchofsanuk.com soon). Be proud and see you at Twestival!
