What do you call a bunch of D.C. drunks who also do the “tweets” with the “twitter” on the landlines or whatever? Twestival! It is for charity, so it’s okay. And it happens tonight, you twits.
This is an actual thing, “Washington Twestival.” You can tell it’s an actual thing because it has a Facebook page. And to prove it’s a charity fundraiser, there is a quote from Barack Obama, about how you should only drink for charity.
There are many half-priced drinks, so your $15 ticket will basically pay for itself as long as you drink quickly responsibly. It’s at Local 16, tonight, 6-11PM.
This is kidnapping. I want to go back…back to Wonkette. I don’t even know you Wonkabout or some such.
I Wonkabout a cool new way of not paying your interns?
This is what we get for not keeping our mouths shut about Campbell Brown.
And where’s the bio for Elizabeth Askew?
I am strangely aroused by the Wonkette Head Moon floating over DeeCee in the Wonkabout logo.
Actual things that actually happen with actual people in attendance…seems this is as good a place as any to seek advice on a subject that’s been bugging me for almost days…
So, Dear Abby-Wonkabout Version 2.0:
Because a friend of mine listens to NPR as part of her religion, she has suggested to me that I join Facebook or Myspace or both, and that I should also learn to Twitter my way about the world, or else!! That “else” being, I’ll never get a new job when I finally give up doing nothing for a living (practicing law solo) because — and she says this was recently confirmed by an interview she heard on NPR with people who know about these things — that if I don’t do some of the above I’m not considered a Real Person and no one will hire me.
In as nice a way as possible, how do I communicate to this very dear friend, that for fellas of a certain age (mine), the idea of participating in any of these activities is akin to IMing…which I and my peers already view as the Internet’s version of cocksucking…a very direct and intimate means of communicating, but unless you’re gay, best left to the womenfolk.

Verite: As a professional recruiter, I can tell you that no one here cares whether or not you are on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter or what have you. But I recruit for technology jobs and so our requirements are very specific.
Personally, I subscribe to the theory that Twitter is for oversharing twits, but that’s just me.
I was with it riiiiiight up until it was at Local 16.
Twitter is starting to sound more and more like Elmer Fudd every day.
So it’s really for twits.
