Oooooh! A Kwik-E-Mart just opened up down the street from the Google and Microsoft campuses in fabulous Mountain View, CA. I got my picture with Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, eyed Springfield’s favorite Sprinklicious donuts, and sampled some Buzz cola. The best part was their special on hot dogs - three for the price of three. Mmmm… hot dogs. Checkout more pics here.
Brilliant marketing stunt from the folks at 7-Eleven! You can even locate a Kwik-E-Mart near you.

Sometimes we like to think back about all the fun we had Twiistup 1. It was a great success for our first event. We had a killer collection of companies presenting thier products, along with some great tunes and a sell out crowd. And two very happy attendees walked away with an Apple TV and a Nintendo Wii. How cool is that?

There are some nice recaps of the event from the folks at ValueWiki and Bub.blicio.us.
Since this was our v1 of this event, we learned a lot. At TU2 we’ve addressed a few glaring issues…
- It was hot! (now we’re at Air Conditioned Supper Club)
- The onstage pitches were hurt by the technical difficulties of the audio and video (we’ve ditched the pitch for viral videos that will loop all night without disrupting the party or the tunes)
- It was crowded (the new venue is 3700 square feet and comfortably accommodates 300+)

We’ve got some more great companies showing their stuff, viral videos and more. See you at Twiistup 2!
