AHA MEDIA at Nokia Tweetup for Social Media Week Vancouver 2011
Nokia sponsored a wonderful time for us at Cinema Restaurant in Vancouver for Social Media Week Vancouver 2011
Tom Hall and Kathy Garfield welcomed us warmly to our fun filled evening! Connecting with old friends like Daniel of Nokia Love blog and Shane Gibson made our time extra special!
Highlight of the evening was when our dear friend Miraj Khaled was the lucky winner of a fabulous Nokia N8 for being the eighth person to arrive at our tweetup!
Nokia truly connects people! We had a very memorable evening socializing with our friends 🙂
Thanks Nokia for sponsoring such a wonderful event during Social Media Week 2011 in Vancouver!

Many thanks for entertainment to The Hastings Set who provided the music and the Hip Hop and B-Boys breakdancers. Also many thanks to the W2 volunteers, board and staff.

Hendrik Beune of AHA MEDIA does Oyster Harvesting on Hernando Island, BC
Hendrik Beune of AHA MEDIA writes:
Two days on a wild picking permit, harvesting oysters on Hernando Island (between Cortez and SAvory Island) and return to the shellfish farm at Theodosia Inlet (Okeover Inlet) near Desolation Sound, May 30-31st 2011.
This series of video-clips shows the scenery and some of the wildlife we encountered on the first day out. It then shows us picking up the harvest of the two days and the return trip to the farm, crossing Georgia Strait, entering Malaspina Inlet, Okeover Inlet and Theodosia Inlet. The last few videos are of us depositing the oysters in cargo nets on the lease, the dock, dogs and a view of the shoreline and floating equipment at the farm. It finishes up with a fast return trip to the Okeover dock to get to Jaqcues’ home at Lund, just before the rains hit, complete with thunder and lightening!
