We did and didn't do it! :)
For the first time in Africa!
Yayyy!! Wooohooo!
But unfortunately we didn't get to the Super SWARM Badge (250 people). That we'll unlock at the next SWARM Party.
Thank you to all who got behind the one matchstick SWARM Party, especially our sponsors:
- SAB - Castle Lager
- Jolandie Rust
- Glow Bangles
- Distro Tech
- Poken
- Rabin Harduth of Comic Revolution
- Stan of the Bluesroom
You know you want two!
Tonight we are SWARMing for the first time in Africa. We're attempting to be the first to unlock the Super SWARM badge of foursquare.com. It's your last chance to get VIP Tickets and get two free Castles and a Springleap Tshirt - call me on 0837302979!
And to think this all started with a conversation at a party with my friend Charl in January this year. He offered me two Castle Lagers for each T-shirt I trade as part of my tenth trade. I needed a way to distribute the beers, and so thought of throwing a party.
Then I heard of crowd swarming, and foursquare, and since then the one matchstick SWARM party has evolved.
And it's here… Tonight.
Can we unlock the Super SWARM Badge? We'll see in a few hours!
It is with so much gratitude in my heart that I thank you Charl for your belief in my vision, and for your offer that has sparked us off on our SWARM tonight! You rock!
The headline act at the SWARM Party: Mantis Moon
Mantis Moon started off as the duo "The Little Black Hats" with guitarist Michael Sadie and violinist Waldo Alexander in 1993. They claimed first place at the Andy McGibbon's Acoustic Arts Duo Competition for their awesome song Firefly (which you’ll hear at the SWARM Party- yayy!)
Recently they had a chance meeting with the drummer Clement Benny, and through his efforts the new band was formed in February 2010 along with bass player Giom Mouton and guitarist Dugal Harris.
Join Mantis Moon in unlocking the Foursquare Super SWARM Badge on Saturday at the Bluesroom. They are the headline act, and will be keeping us entertained along with comedian Rabin Harduth our MC, and the other awesome bands Broken People, Book of Thieves and Finding Noah.
I'm this serious about SWARMing
And our mischief making has got some international attention.
YES- I am that serious about this SWARM party and setting the record of being the first to unlock the Foursquare Super SWARM Badge on the African continent. And trade all my Springleap T-shirts in the process.
So if you ever doubted that we would pull this off, I hope this mischief making dissolves those doubts. ;)
Yip. Solo- no support vehicles.
And yip. On a bike- pedal power!
Her event is starting on the 5th November at the Tyger Valley Shopping Centre in Cape Town, where she will be literally on a bike for 48 hours to raise awareness and funds for three different causes. You can support her by popping by during the 48 hours (and especially between midnight and 4:00 in the morning- she will realllllly appreciate the company ;) and making a donation of R100. You'll get 2 CD’s by the awesome SA musician and motivational speaker - Verity Price.
And even if you are not in Cape Town, you can support Jolandi by still making a donation. Check out the info on her blog or the facebook event 'Stuck on a Bike'!
Jolandie and I are THAT serious about reaching our dreams and goals, that we would not only sit on a bike for 48 hours, but would also spend our Sunday graffiti'ing about our events.
So who's serious enough to support us and join in the fun? Give me a call 0837302979 or email.
What is Foursquare all about?
I managed to get Walter Pike away for a few minutes from Ryan Gibson's popular and such fun Joburg Tweetup recently, to ask him a few questions and film him!
Walter shared with me what Foursquare.com is all about, and why the Super Swarm Badge is such an exciting thing to achieve. He also mentions how businesses can be using Foursquare to their advantage. Considering I have heard that foursquare is the fourth most popular app to be downloaded on iPhones right now in South Africa- businesses should take note.
Take a look here at what he had to say:
So if you want to help us unlock the very hard to get Super Swarm Badge- join us on the 20 November at the one matchstick Swarm Party at the Bluesroom!
Introducing Harbourlight- a SWARM Party Band
::Harbourlight:: is one of the exciting up and coming three bands playing at the SWARM Party on the 16th October! They formed at the beginning of 2006 and this team of five hardworking musicians (Shaun, Craig, Chris, Josh and Ashley) share a simple yet burning desire to share their message of hope and faith through their music in their own city Johannesburg, country South Africa and beyond!
Their debut album Come Home was released in July of 2008 and I have my own copy. It's worth a listen to the 13 original and self produced songs.
They are about to release their second album entitled Mystery Story in the very near future. If we're lucky, they might play a few of their new tunes for us on at the SWARM party
So check out the little video we made to give you a taste of the entertainment lined up for the SWARM Party- featuring ::Harbourlight::!!
And then rush and book your VIP Tickets with me- you'll get a springleap T-shirt, 2 Castle Lagers and entrance to help us unlock the Super Swarm Badge on foursquare- which if we succeed, will be the first time it is unlocked on the African Continent!
