BC Lions Tweetup will be THE the place to kickoff the season!

June 24, 2013 By Brian Wawryshyn

As the BC Lions kickoff the 2013 season Friday in Calgary, they will also be kicking their social media programs into high gear for their 60th season. The club is inviting 50 fans to join them for their first “Tweetup” of the season at the Shark Club in downtown Vancouver. The event will also mark the launch of the 2013 Felions calendar.

If you haven’t heard, or are unfamiliar with Twitter, a tweetup is an organized meeting of Twitter followers, who usually share a common interest. The idea is to meet new people, put names to the twitter handles and generally just have a good time.

What better way to kick off the new season to watch the game with other Lions fans in a fun and social environment? The Shark Club will be providing food and drink specials for the event and there will be prizes, including signed photos and tickets to the club’s home opener on July 4th. They’re even hinting at a special guest or two.

I myself will be in Calgary for the game but if I wasn’t I would certainly be attending this event.

Tickets are free through Eventbrite, and are limited to 50 people, so get them while you can.

Where: Shark Club Vancouver
Time: 6:45
Tickets: http://bclionsfootballtweetup.eventbrite.ca/?ref=estw

Tell you friends about the event on Twitter by using the hashtag #LionsTweetup and follow @BCLions for updates.

Have fun everyone, I’ll be tweeting you from Calgary! Roar you Lions roar!

Official BC Lions Tweetup: Come and roar at the Shark Club this Friday!

October 23, 2012 By Brian Wawryshyn

On Friday night, the Lions travel to Calgary to battle the Stampeders in their final road game of the 2012 regular season. Not only are the Lions in first place in the league, but as far as I am concerned, they’re first when it comes to engaging with their fans on social media platforms.

To mark the occasion of the  final road game of the year, why not join your fellow @BCLions tweeps at the Official BC Lions Tweet-Up at Shark Club Vancouver?

Kicking off at 5:45 pm, Friday’s free event will feature great food and beverage specials and a variety of awesome prizes including autographed photos, Lions merchandise and a pair of tickets to the club’s upcoming home game on Saturday, November 3. You never know, there may even be  a special guest or two drop by to say hello!

Space is limited to 50 attendees, so register now to ensure you can be part of this special event!

As always, don’t forget to follow the Lions on Twitter at twitter.com/bclions and join the conversation about Friday’s event using the hashtag #Lionstweetup.

If you’re interested in attending this event, you’ll need to register and print off your ticket via this link at Event Brite: Official BC Lions Tweetup Registration

Grey Cup 2009 – Day Two – State Of The League, Tweetup, Lions Den!

November 28, 2009 By Brian Wawryshyn

I am happy to report I am feeling much better than this time yesterday. I am not sure if that’s a good thing party wise, or if yesterday I was just too busy to get into too much trouble!

gc09_day2_sol007 Friday was a busy day, starting with the first ever State Of The League address for the fans. This was an outstanding and ground breaking initiative by the league that had Commissioner Mark Cohon address fans on the state of the CFL in 2009 and field questions from them as well. The one hour event was emceed by Dave Randorf of TSN. Two hundred fans, invited by the league attended and posed some great questions for the commissioner. There were two great video presentations as well. One featuring the best highlights of 2009 and one celebrating the great history of the CFL and Grey Cup week in Canada, that choked a few people up in the crowd. If the event had a fault, it was two short at one hour, but I am sure Mark Cohon is a busy man, and the chance to hear him speak and to ask questions of him was a much appreciated one and from the sounds of it, this will be annual event at Grey Cups going forward. I just have to say, that as far as I am concerned, Mark Cohon is the best commissioner this league has ever had, and his innovative thinking is very refreshing.

stein_tweetupFollowing the event, and a bit to eat it was off to the first ever Grey Cup Tweetup, hosted by Jaime Stein (@jaimestein)of the CFL. Twitter folks like my self gathered at the Unicorn Pub and were treated to appetizers by the league as we put faces to the names of the people we follow, and that follow us on Twitter, which has become one of the most valuable social media tools on the internet. It was great to meet people such as @inthetunnel, @argobeth, @cfl_fan, @ridleyscouting and others. Tad Kornegay (@T2Dak) and Nik Lewis (@nikel18) who had a little “feud” on Twitter also stopped by and had some fun with all the Tweeps. Mark Cohon also attended and you can follow the commissioner on Twitter @canadiancommish.

gc09_day2_Lions_16 After the tweetup, it was off to the Palomino Smokehouse, and the Lions Den party. When we arrived the place was packed. Lots of Lions fans were in attendance, as well as fans from all teams. Owner David Braley, coach Wally Buono, Lui Passaglia and Jamie Taras were there, and downstairs the popular Grey Cup band Two For The Show were keeping the dance floor full. This event is getting more popular year after year, and for that reason the team has decided to hold it over two nights this year. Admission is a reasonable $10.00, and you get a lanyard and a nice pin as well. I would like to see this party grow to the point where it could be hosted in a hotel ball room, as it was in Winnipeg in 2006. It’s always a fun time to get together with so many other Lions fans who come to Grey Cups. It’s like partying with your family! Special thanks to the Lions, and to Jacqueline Blackwell for granting me access to this event!

I ended the night at the Spirit of Edmonton as usual. The room was packed, and at one point the they had to stop letting people in. Legendary Canadian rockers Chilliwack took the stage and belted out hit after hit much to the delight of those in the crowd. I highly recommend that if you’re planning to attend the Spirit party Saturday night, you get there early.

My dogs were barking pretty loudly at me by the end of the night, so I retired for the evening. Today is another busy day, with much to see and do, starting with the Grey Cup parade.

Until the next blog, enjoy some of the sights from yesterday in today’s photo galleries! Adios CFL fans!
