Glasgow’s vibrant Twitter community, codename #Tweegies, is in the process of arranging a Twitter Festival to raise money for charity and unite the Twitter folk in the real world for one night only. The last global Twestival raised $250K for Charity:Water so we’re hoping to make a similar impact on a local scale.

A single Scottish charity will be chosen as the beneficiary of the event, and our own favourite CHAS is currently running fourth with 203 votes, 144 votes behind the leader.

If you’re a CHAS supporter, or looking to vote for another Scottish charity, vote here and add your comments about why you think others should vote.

Alienation will contribute our full attendance to the event (of course!) as well as pledging a brand spanking new iPod Touch as a raffle prize.

The event is due to feature some of the finest local musical talent and will be general fun all round whilst raising some cash for a good cause. It will be held at The Living Room, Glasgow on 10th Sep 2009, 7pm till midnight.

To keep up to date about the event you can follow Gtwestival on Twitter. You can also check out the Glasgow Twestival website for more information.

Make sure you vote for your favourite charity before the deadline at midday on 31st July!!
