On Thursday, March 25th, Phoenix will participate in Twestival with 200+ cities around the world in a global tweetup for charity. Our last event raised over $250,000 for charity: water, enabling them to drill 55 wells serving 17,000 people in Uganda, Ethiopia and India.
Twestival enables people from Twitter to connect offline, network and catch up socially while supporting a good cause. Twestival is organized 100% by volunteers and 100% of the money raised goes directly to charity.
Twestival's 2010 goal is to help ConcernWorldWide (@concern) in their efforts to reduce suffering and end extreme poverty. For 42 years, Concern has been tackling the root causes of extreme poverty through focus on education, health (HIV and AIDS), livelihoods and emergency response. Concern has more than 3,600 employees working in 28 of the world's poorest countries in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.
Concern is also actively focused on the emergency in Haiti.
Our aim is to bring all the various groups of #phx tweeps together in concert with this global tweetup to raise money for a good cause and to build community.

Mar 6, 2010: The Soulphonics & Ruby Velle in-store at Criminal Records Atlanta
There will be a free, all-ages in-store with Soulphonics & Ruby Velle on Saturday, March 6 at 4:30 p.m.
From Element Records:
Soulphonics & Ruby Velle are a funk, soul, and R&B group based out of Atlanta, GA, and have been a slick addition to the local Atlanta scene since early 2008. Lead female vocalist Ruby Velle, is backed by a solid lineup, including a three piece horn section (trumpet, baritone sax, tenor sax) and rhythm section (B3 organ, electric guitar, bass and drums).
"Ruby's voice is sultry and strong, sexy yet fun, and her musical style is difficult to find in the 21st century. The eight-piece band, complete with a horns section evokes sounds of 1960s soul and funk that is undeniably danceable. By the end of their set, I was amped." - Sam Parvin, Atlanta Music Guide
"Everyone agrees that The Soulphonics and Ruby Velle pretty much blow everything out of the water." - Luis Sandoval, Team Luis, Atlanta

What is a Pub Quiz? Good question, find out here. Or read about us in Westword or The Rocky Mountain News.
Read customer reviews on Yelp.com.
We’re the only pub quiz that has audio questions: "Name that Tune,” and one comprised of soundbites from movies and TV.
Play in teams of up to six or by yourself if you're some kind of savant.
If you want to play but don’t have a team, come anyway. We can usually get single players recruited onto an existing team. Others have had success wrangling teammates on the Strictly Platonic section of Craigslist.
Winning team gets street cred, bar cash and other prizes depending on the venue. Bonus Questions for free pints are sprinkled throughout the quiz.
You don’t have to be a trivia God to enjoy the quiz. Since you’re playing on a team, the collective knowledge base makes for more fun, less pressure. It’s not Final friggin Jeopardy.
