The Tweet Spot

Last night was the premiere of my new show at Comix, The Tweet Spot: The Twitter Game Show.  Word on the street is that it was a hit.  And by street I mean the internet highway via all the positive response tweets on Twitter.

How the show works: 1 – A contestant reads their Tweets. 2 – The audience then votes to ReTweet it (if they liked it), or Unfollow it (if they didn’t like it). 3 – The person with the most ReTweets wins!

There’s also a part of the show called “The Hashtag Dash,” where I spin a wheel and the contestants must shout out as many possibilities for whatever hashtag the wheel lands on.  A hashtag on Twitter is like a category, so for example, #RejectedMovieTitles would result in “Schindler’s Notebook,” etc.

Last night Mark Normand, Julia Segal, Adam Newman and Claudia Cogan all performed to much fanfare!

RT @blaudiablogan It’s always been my fantasy to call the cops on my rape fantasy.  It’ll be my charges pressed against theirs & it’ll be hot.

RT @marknorm My friend says he can sense whose racist.  Like the way some people have gay-dar.  He calls it radar.

RT @Adam_Newman There are 169 people in the United States named James Schwartz.  There are 0 people named Bermuda Shorts.

RT @JuliaSegal When a parent refer to “poking” someone on Facebook as “fingering”… I suggest drinking til you pass out… or crying.

All night long the lovely Kambri Crews tweeted away at Twitter.com/ComixNY!  We even read some hilarious tweets from the funny man Dave Hill and Hal Sparks sent in a TwitPic.  WitStream.com provided some silly reading during the show and Frescas, Peep candies, and Twit Wit edited by Nick Douglas and published by It Books were given out.

If you missed last night, do not fret, the next #TweetSpot is on Thursday, March 18th at 9pm at Comix!  Don’t miss it!

Oh yeah, and follow me at Twitter.com/HAlanScott.
