From today, tickets are available for the first ever Edinburgh Twestival. The Twestival concept began as a one-off meetup in London in September. It was a huge success and the concept has now spread worldwide, and Twitter users across the globe will be meeting up on 12 February and raising some money for charity: water.

The Edinburgh event will take place at Hawke and Hunter, 12 Picardy Place, Edinburgh. Tickets are £7 and all proceeds will go to charity: water. It promises to be a great opportunity to put faces to avatars, with the promise of live music and a raffle and auction with some rather tempting prizes. I will be there. Be quick if you want a ticket though — they seem to be selling quickly. You can buy your tickets here.
