#Pawties and Events

30 August 2010

#Pawties and Events are where anipals and humans get together for a Twitterin’ good time. In their tweets they use an introductory hashtag (#) so everyone who wants to join in the fun can easily find them by searching Twitter for #(fill in the blank) pawty or #(event name). #Pawties and Events is where you will find out about the #Pawties taking place on Twitter and where I point you to the official The Anipal Times #Pawty & Events Calendar. Remember to check out the calendar so that you can find the dates and times to mix and mingle with anipals. Now let’s read about some of the #pawties and events that happened by the deadline for this article:

#PinkPJPawty

The Pink Pups hosted the pink-a-licious #PinkPJPawty on Saturday 28 August 2010. Who are The Pink Pups you ask? Well, The Pink Pups, as described by the Queen Pink Pup, @Niqqi, the most pink-erific little doggy on the planet, ‘is a club comprised of the cutest, smartest and pinkest anipals on Twitter!’ No, you don’t have to be a female to join The Pink Pups — real men wear pink!  The Pink Pups really went all out for the #PinkPJPawty, with a number of fun events to celebrate @PrincessGwenie and @MisterSnoop’s birthdays. Pawty goers donned all sorts of pink: pink PJs, pink suits, pink dresses, pink shoes and some came with pink hair. All #PinkPJPawty attendees were greeted at the door by @Niqqi, @MissBusyBiz or one of the other Pink Pups, and given a pink goody-bag full of great things including a full bottle of Pink Pup ‘Pink’ to drink. Active ingredients in ‘Pink’ include fun, giggles, BOLS, MOLS, joy, happiness and laughter; and came with this warning: ‘It may cause you to laugh so hard, you may pee in your pants.’ I drank mine slowly and it still had the same effect on me — laughter, joy and a desire to lose my stink and turn real pink! #PinkPJPawty offered games like Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Squirrel and offered attendees a chance to get ‘Hello Kitty’ tattoos and pedicures. #PinkPJPawty hit just the right spot during these, the dog-days of summer, offering great food, fun and music.  Everyone who attended had a great time pawtying in to the night; and while they might have woke up on Sunday morning with bloodshot eyes–well, that sorta fits with the pink of #PinkPJPawty. Make sure you check out The Pink Pups, ask the original foundsers @Niqqi, @MissBusyBiz, @PrincessGwenie, @TallulahsMom, @rgzzz, @LunaBellasWorld and @DanaPixie for more info–I did and *puts on pink t-shirt* I found that Pink Pups rock!

Upcoming #Pawties and Events Remember to see the #Pawty and Events calendar to get more info on some other wonderful events. Get ready for #DogTalk, #PetChat, #KeepFits, #NipClub and #CookinWifRabbits.  Tune in to these entertaining and highly informative weekly shows where you can say “Hi” to old friends and hopefully make new friends, too.  Also,  on Sunday 4 September 2010 at 3PM EDT, remember to join @ConfuciusCat as he leads #Purrs4Peace, a virtual contribution to peace throughout the world.
