Thank you to everyone that supported Twestival either by attending or donating even though you couldn’t make it. The Las Vegas Twestival was definitely a success, and we hope a good time was had by all! More importantly, we contributed a significant amount for charity: water. We raised nearly $3000 and saw about 130 attendees. Way to go Vegas!
Here’s a round up of some of local press received over the past few days:
KLAS-TV Channel 8
KVBC News 3
Las Vegas Sun
KNPR’s State of Nevada
Imagine Peace (Yoko Ono’s website)
Las Vegas Sun (pre-event)
