Couple of charity events been brought to my attention this week. One a simple(!) 5 killometre run starting and finishing in Perry Park. It’s no marathon-length BRMB Walkathon, but if you fancy a trot round Great Barr then entries are now being accepted and the run itself is on May 3rd. The other event you’re not being asked to take part in, and you’ll thank your god or the random nature of the world that you aren’t. For four brave and stupid Brummies are going to drive a VW Golf all the way to Mongolia, and Charile Boorman’s sweaty face won’t be anywhere near them. “Essentially we will be driving a knackered 1.2l Car from Goodwood Race course to Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia, completely unsupported and entirely for charity…” They’re not off until July, but are setting up stall around Brum a few times before then and have a website with all the info on – tgbrally.com.

The Birmingham Music Archive is a new project, and especially a web site that is trying to build up a huge collection of anything to do with music in Birmingham and how it has affected us Brummies. It’s entirely open to anything, so if you care more about Go Kart Mozart than ELO that’s equally important. Did Bev Bevan help you carry a drunk mate down some stairs? The archive wants to know. Dip in to the archive itself and see what you can add, see what you can find — I’ll be searching it for titbits daily. Did you know that Apatche Indian invented “bhangramuffin”? He’s opening a new bar soon I hear.

What’s Twitter? Oh, go ask Philip Schofield. What’s Twestival? It’s a Twitter – Festival (see what they did there?), personally I’d go for a Twiss Up. On 12th February 2009 Birmingham will be joining over 100 confirmed cities around the world in a night of fund raising, partying, competitions and all round fun — based around Twitter. I’ll be running a tweetastic version of ‘Play Your Cards Right” There are already some top raffle prizes, Wii’s, Bostin gear, artwork, specially recorded records – go look here. For more details pop over to the offical site, or follow @brumtwestival on the Twitter. It’s all in aid of charity:water, a non-profit bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.
