Despite the ups and downs of getting this event organized in a very short 2 weeks, the lack of a sponsor, and some interesting events happening during the event, Twestival Vienna was a success.  In just under 4 hours, I managed to raise 445 euro for charity:water.

A very special thanks go out to fatfoogoo.com for donating our grand prize, 2008′s hottest selling gaming console, the Nintendo wii.  Groops.at also deserves a big thanks for their donation of a logitech squeezebox boom box, which I got/get the impression was actually the more desirable object.  Who knew?  Vier Pfoten also generously donated 2 of their truly beautiful coffee table books.

Thanks are also in order to Chanda and Magda for helping with the raffle ticket sales.  Great job ladies, and thank you!

I also contibuted footage to TechFluff.TV, which should be cut into a master video, and available on the site shortly.  Here’s the full version (Be sure to catch the full HD version at Vimeo):
