AHA MEDIA decided to go out and enjoy the beautiful May long weekend weather by celebrating on Commercial Drive.

We chose Fets Bar and Grill for their patio in the sun.

AHA MEDIA visits La Casa Gelato and uses Twitter to tell about the experience in real time in Vancouver

AHA MEDIA took trip to La Casa Gelato near Commercial Drive in Vancouver http://www.lacasagelato.com/.

La Casa 1

We wanted to treat ourselves after working very hard at Vancouver Digital Week doing livestreaming, live twitter, mobile new media photography and videography with our social media connections.

#PopVox09 11

Keeping with our new lessons from the week, we decided to keep using Twitter, a fantastic social media tool to keep interacting with each other and our community. We have a very strong desire to stay connected and keep learning 🙂

We picked La Casa Gelato as it was near our area of the Vancouver Downtown Eastside ( DTES). Our purpose was two fold – to eat some great ice cream and to use “Twitter” to “tweet” or give live updates on our dining experience. 🙂

La Casa 2

We created on Twitter a new account: @Tweets_and_Eats

We combined the two words of  “Tweets and Eats ” to make a new word called “Tweats” and built a new and separate Food Review site for our dining experiences in Vancouver
