Ben Matthews, one of the brains behind this week’s Twestival (which Wubud was supporting), has posted a nice report on the entire event, from initial ideas through to execution and rounding up the coverage on the web. Thankfully it’s not in 140 character bursts - that would have been taking it too far.

Those of you in San Francisco this Tuesday (Sept 9th) might want to swing by the House of Shields (39 New Montgomery St) at 10pm, where Smack My Pitch Up is being held. Get enough VC’s, investors and entrepreneurs in town, you’ll get people pitching business ideas around like poor baseball pitches. ‘Smack’ is no different, but will be looking for the most terrible ideas in tech possible.

Prizes include a grand prize of $50 (in non-sequential, used single dollar bills). Bonus prizes will be available for best URL containing a pun (or a pub), most creative misuse of grammar and the Calacanis Cup for the most arrogant pitch. One more thing to note… no powerpoint presentations - flipcharts and sharpies, yes, microphones, yes, spending any real prep time, no.

Make sure you have a Wubud sticker on and the drinks are on us. It shouldn’t be too hard to find a sticker, they’ll be at the door. As Paul Carr points out, be there or pay $2,995 to be somewhere else…
