A social experiment and some fun, thanks to MarcusThere are 46 free tickets to this event available. If you're interested, keep reading. Marcus Brown is a funny guy, and if you'd like to join a bunch of us and go see him in London on Monday evening March 9, just keep reading. This is a social experiment of sorts. Who knows what will happen.
Amongst other things, Marcus does Tweet Readings. For those of you who don't know/use Twitter, that won't mean much. For those of you lucky to have had the pleasure, you know that he's a satirist who takes great pleasure poking fun at Twitter, the microblogging service that everyone is talking about. Here is his "Tweet Reading" of David Armano, VP of Experience Design with Critical Mass: The event: Today, Marcus announced a reading in London: An Evening With Marcus Brown
Monday, March 09, 2009 at 7:00 PM (GMT)
Market Porter, 9 Stoney Street, London, SE1 9AA
Marcus Brown is dragging himself out of his infamous lavatory to bring song, stories and official tweet readings to the streets of London. There will be beer, there will be frolics and there will be Sacrum, Charles Stab and Roger the C.E.O. There may be some swearing.
Please be informed that owners of iPods are requested to bring them along and have “I will survive” by Gloria Gaynor at the ready.
Sam's Note: We're not getting sponsorship and we ain't trying to make money. Marcus' flight will cost about £130 and his transport on the day about £10 more. Give what you think is appropriate for an evening of AWESOME. Once we cover costs we'll be giving the excess raised to Crisis - a charity for single homeless people. Their website is here: Crisis
What makes it even more fun is that the event is being held at the Market Porter in Borough Market, which is one of my favourite pubs in London and the iris agency "local". The experiment: So, I bought 46 of the 60 tickets. :-) If you'd like to go, just leave a note below explaining why you would like or deserve to go. Answers in 140 characters or less will receive extra consideration. Extra charitable acts or random acts of kindness will also be taken into account. If you are not comfortable leaving a comment below, you can contact me on Twitter. Let's see what happens ... @iboyNOTE: If you want to sign up for a ticket, please include your email address or Twitter address so I can contact you and let you know if you will receive a ticket. There are a bunch of them, so it should be fine. But, I think it best to have a list. If you prefer not to write it here, send it to twitter (at) i-boy.com

I would like one because... I'm interested in the Narrative of Twitter and it's effects in real world space! + Griff Told Me Too

Because I always read tweets and ponder about them on the toilet, just like Marcus Brown! Though unlike him, I don't have a camera filming.

[i probably don't deserve to go at all because i hadn't heard of Marcus Brown until today – but then maybe it's precisely why i deserve to go] = 140 chars

Hi George. I need three tickets for me and two Twits. In return, I will make all three of us sign up to give monthly to Crisis. You know I'm good for it. I used to write for Crisis when I worked at Bluefrog.

I want to go because I want to request that his second public reading be of the tweets mentioning Skittles yesterday so we can see how many include profanities.

Am loving the feedback and the experiment is working!!!
You're all in, and I'll email/Tweet you shortly.
HI there,
Just to let you know there is a ticket set aside for you. :-)
Remember, we'll be giving the excess £££ raised to Crisis - a charity for single homeless people.
If you could set aside a few squid for this on the night, that’d be very nice ....
See you at the Porter Monday night!
