I was going to save the surprise for this weekend’s tweetup at Wimpy’s but couldn’t keep a secret! The new Wimpy’s Burgers & Fries spot stamp is live on Gowalla! I think it looks great, can’t wait to see how it stands out on the iPhone next time I get ready to check-in.  If you are out and about this Sunday in the Conway area be sure to swing by Wimpy’s for our tweetup, you can RSVP on Facebook but it’s not necessary!

Gowalla Event Stamp for Toadsuck Daze

March 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

toadsuck-logoI just got confirmation last week from Gowalla that they are going to produce another custom event stamp for Toadsuck Daze this year! Some of you that attended last year may remember that they produced one for us last year as well. Unfortunately last years Toadsuck Daze was plagued by severe thunderstorms and tornados so only 25 people got the stamp last year. Hopefully the weather will cooperate a little better this year!

Toadsuck Daze will be held from April 29 – May 1st in downtown Conway. The headline act this year will be none other than our very own Kris Allen. For more information about Toadsuck Daze, you can visit the official website here… As soon as I have a proof as to what the stamp is going to look like, I will be sure to post it here so everyone can check it out before hand.  There has also been some talk about having another Toadsuck Tweetup this year but nothing has been confirmed yet, stay tuned for announcements…

2767_0931061454738_thumb[1] Okay, so I reached out to Gowalla to help us promote this weekends Toadsuck Daze Festival in Conway by creating a custom Gowalla Event Stamp and wow did they ever come through for us.  I can’t say enough how awesome Sandi and the crew there have been to work with in putting this thing together.  They kick butt.

Custom Gowalla Event Stamp!

April 26, 2010 By 1 Comment

2767_0931061454738 A few days ago I reached out to Gowalla to see if they would be interested in helping us out with our first ever Toadsuck Tweetup by designing us a custom stamp for Toadsuck Daze.  I got notification today from Sandi that they were in fact interested and that they were going to design the custom stamp for us.  This stamp will be available for people to pick up by checking in on Gowalla during the weekend long event.  Now, I haven’t seen the stamp yet, and I can only imagine that it’s going to have a frog on it since that is the direction that I pointed them in, kind of fitting don’t you think?

Why is this a big deal?  Well, because aside from large, highly publicized events, there just aren’t that many of these custom stamps out there to pick up for Gowalla collectors and enthusiasts, and I am not for sure but this might be the first one in Central Arkansas for an event.  The only way to get this stamp is to check in on Gowalla during the festival weekend, after that it’s gone forever unless of course you picked it up, in which case it’s yours forever!  A great time to do this check in would be during the tweetup we have scheduled for 12 noon on Saturday during the festival.  Stay tuned for more information on the Tweetup later, I just wanted to shout from the rooftops how cool Gowalla is for helping us out with this.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Toadsuck Daze, which is expected to see 150,000 people this year, here’s a little bit of information from the main website:

Toad Suck Daze is a free festival.  A 3-day festival of food, family and fun held on the streets of downtown Conway, Arkansas. This ‘Laid Back Weekend’ occurs annually the first weekend in May and has something for the entire family: arts & crafts, ‘Toadal Kids Zone’, a carnival, local and national entertainment, food, rock wall, petting zoo, ‘Stuck on a Truck’, 5K/10K, golf tournament, a 3 on 3 basketball tournament, magicians, and so much more! Toad Suck Daze is also home to ‘The World Championship Toad Races’. The festival is run almost exclusively by volunteers from Conway and Faulkner County, including the local police and fire departments. It has free admission and proceeds go to support higher education in Faulkner County. Since the start of the festival over $1 million has been given in scholarship and towards scholarship endowments. This money has helped over 200 individuals attend local institutes of higher learning.

If you aren’t familiar with Gowalla, I suggest you check them out immediately if you work in the web industry!  You can find their awesome app in the app store as well as linked from their corporate website: http://www.gowalla.com.  Stay tuned for more info on this stamp as I get it…

Attention Conway, AR Twitter Users – #ToadsuckTweetup

February 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment

I posted last week to see if there was any interest in having a Conway version of the #LRTweetup or Little Rock Tweetup.  I got numerous tweets back from people saying that they would be interested in launching something like this and even a few folks volunteered to help coordinate everything, which was very promising because I know first hand from helping to establish the Central Arkansas Refresh group that it takes a little bit more to pull something like this off than people think.

One representative from the Conway Chamber of Commerce, Jamie Gates, @chambergates offered his support as well. I am going to follow up w/ him this next week to see what we can come up with.  This whole thing should be a lot of fun, not to mention an excellent networking opportunity for everyone in the Conway area.  I have dubbed this thing the “Toadsuck Tweetup” but we can tweak the name later if everyone thinks that’s lame.  So far, the people that have spoken up to say they wanted to be involved were:

Update: I have setup a Twitter list for the people that have expressed an interest, you can find that list here.

    How to Get Involved:
    I think that I have everyone that responded to my original post included in this list but if I left your name out, sorry about that… Please comment below and leave me your Twitter name and I will get you added.  Also, if this is the first that you have heard of the Conway Tweetup and you live in the Conway area and would like to be a part please comment below and leave your Twitter name and you will be added.  The group is totally open to anyone…  Also, please Retweet this link to your friends to help us get the word out.
