IF YOU LIVE IN KOTA KINABALU

READY STOCK

Couldn't make it? You can still show your support by wearing it proud!

You’re in luck! We got a few t-shirts left (only white though) so email us your name, phone number, number of pieces and their sizes to kktwestival@gmail.com and we’ll get in touch with you within 24-48 hours. All proceeds collected from in-stock t-shirts will be donated to Concern Worldwide.

PRE-ORDERED T-SHIRTS

Pre-order blue t-shirts

MINIMUM ORDER OF 20 PIECES TO REPRINT

A few folks have pre-ordered special sizes and blue-colored tees. Unfortunately, we have to wait until we get another 8 pre-orders (we only have 12 so far) before we can put in an order for the reprint as the t-shirt printer won’t open a job order unless we have a minimum of 20 t-shirts.

We know it’s crappy but it’s not an instant digital print but a silkscreen print job using rubber-based ink on cut-piece tees that they have to then sew, and while we’d love to see you wear it immediately, we have to get another 8 orders!!! Hopefully you’ll help us get some of those in the next few days so we can all parade around in them together ASAP!

So if you would LOVE a blue t-shirt, we highly recommend it as it’s Super Limited Edition. There’s only 5 people who have the blue one so far. It costs the same (RM35) but you just have to wait a week from the time we put in our order.

WHAT WILL GO TO CONCERN WORLDWIDE
For the pre-ordered t-shirts, 100% of the profits will be donated to Concern Worldwide. It will cost you the same but only the profits will go toward building schools. If you’d like ALL your contributions to go toward Concern, we recommend that you get the white t-shirts from the ready stock since they were sponsored.

All our t-shirts are printed locally by Wakili. If you want to get t-shirts for your events, they’re located at:-

New Sabah Times spent a whole page on KK Twestival! Thanks to reporter Nazri Noor!

Sorry we don’t have a scanner nearby so the best way to show you guys we made it to mainstream media in Sabah is to take a picture of the article that came out on Sunday 28th March 2010. Click on the picture to read the article.

The event wouldn’t have happened without your generosity and support to help Concern Worldwide’s cause for children’s education. So thank you again, and we hope that you had as much fun as we did! We’d also like to extend a thank you to Coca-Cola Asia Pacific for their regional sponsorship and congratulate Twestival Global for having raised in excess of US $387,000 so far for Concern Worldwide.

Lastly, everybody let’s wish the founder of Twestival @amanda a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and thank her for letting KK join in to tweet, meet and give with 174 other cities!

We can’t seem to embed any of our wonderful videos onto the blog, so we’ll link you to the YouTube video of Angelina Perete and Roger Wang performing ‘Every Breath You Take” @kktwestival. First of many videos to come from @bananakk Enjoy this for the weekend!

Hello guys! First of all we’d like to thank all our supporters from sponsors, volunteers, to participants! BIG THANKS to all the generous people who have surprised and touched us with your support! Thank you all so much for making @kktwestival so fun and successful!

Secondly, we hope you’ll be patient with us as we try to update you with more information the first chance we get. The core committee members are all really exhausted from running around like frantic chickens over the past 2.5 weeks trying to throw this benefit party together and some of us are trying to get some sleep over the weekend and tend to other areas of our lives. Also, @bemingo and @fooz have to attend a 2-day convention this weekend and so I won’t be able to look into our documents until Monday.

@bemingo, @meihoneybee, @pakpandir @miameara and @yograham and myself (@fooz) have been juggling between our own full-time jobs and organizing @kktwestival. @Francoise_L goes to school full-time and have been doing what she can between tests and exams. None of us are paid to do this and like the rest of the organizers in other cities, we’re just twittering volunteers who really want to help by simply donating our time and resources to making a benefit party happen for the kids.

Make no mistake that building a team from 1 to 3, 6 and then 40, getting 25 sponsors to support us, planning the party, to running the party which had a very technical element to it (on top of the deco and logistics) all over two and a half weeks is nothing short of a miracle. This is why we’re still beaming with pride for KK! WELL DONE KOTA KINABALU!

RESULTS

The good news is that we generated RM6,330 from door sales, food coupons, live auctions, and party activities, 100% of which will be donated to Concern Worldwide. This figure will be updated manually to our donation widget meter by them. So far that figure is still rising because we’re still selling t-shirts!!! We have 7 days from the date of our event to submit that donation and we’re working with the global organizer to remit the donation to @concern as soon as possible.

The bad news is we all have lives outside of Twestival and we’ll only be able to put more updates next week! As per names of who contributed what, we will put out the list of sponsors and their contribution but we wouldn’t be able to tell you exactly who bought cupcakes and took pictures with Miss Sabah. It was a very busy event!

As per the auction, we’ll try our best to compile a list of winners and their final bid amount but that’s going to take time to compile (though not entirely impossible since we didn’t have that many items).

Thanks for understanding and we’ll blog more starting from Monday! Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!

Jackie Miao (@fooz) Organizer, Twestival Kota Kinabalu 2010

A very quick post about the Birdie Bag from TheBagBar.com. It’s complete and now ready for our live auction in a few hours!

Do you see the birdie and the TREE!?

The TREE is a flap and it's oh-so clever!

Look at the inside. It is lined with corduroy!

So pretty isn't it?

Our birdie applique is just so cute!

We know it’s painful not to be able to bid online for it but that’s why you just have to come to @kktwestival tomorrow. You can always bug the two ladies at TheBagBar.com to custom-design a bag for you and did I mention that they ship internationally?
