AperiTweat = Aperitivo + Twitter

We told you we went to ShoreditchTwit a couple of weeks ago, suggesting you stayed tuned for some exciting news coming up. Well, it’s now gone official so we can tell you that Gioia and I, together with our friends Carmen, Julius, Niamh and Laura, are organising AperiTweat, on April 15.

But your question is, WTF is this AperiTweat?

AperiTweat is enjoing ourselves, first of all. Enjoying some drinks with a bunch of friends. So, what’s new I hear you asking. The new twist is given by the Aperitivo concept behind it. Aperitivo (ethimologically speaking, it’s something that “opens”, “starts”) is the Italian tradition of having some drinks after work, before going out/home for dinner. Mostly popular in the North of Italy, Aperitivo consists of drinks, often had outside bars, standing and chatting, accompained by free food. Yes, you read it right. Free food.

We are now bringing this to you, fellow Tweeps. The date is the 15th of April, the venue is Al Volo, in Ely’s Yard, just off Brick Lane.

It’s in here, on the left. Shame on Streetview for not going in there.

In the very spirit of the Aperitivo, the event will start at 6.30, after work. This will also allow people willing to attend ShoreditchTwit (same day, roughly next door) to do so.

So, want to join us? Well you should be on Twitter, first of all. You can RSVP here, and see what’s going on at our website.

Oh, also don’t forget to check out @aperitweat, #aptw and #aperitweat on Twitter!

See you there!
