Mogasm Toronto 2011

Another year and another crazy fun Mogasm. I didn’t think I could top last year’s fundraiser but I was wrong. Thanks to the help of my good friend and excellent event planner, Jocelyn Butler, Mogasm Toronto’s sophomore year set the bar even higher for Movember parties.

This year, Movember’s theme it “country gentleman” and that gave us some interesting ideas that we had no idea would work or not. MogasmTO this year had a nail hammering competition and an arm wrestling tournament. I didn’t honestly think people would go for the arm wrestling on tony old Toronto but I was proven wrong soon enough. Surprisingly, the tournament card was filled up by ladies before any man would venture to sign up for it. Goes to show that Mo Sistas can throw down with the Mo Bros and even show them up! Eventually some gents nutted up and an arm wrestling bonanza ensued. My arm is still sore from my bouts but it’s all for a great cause.

I’m not sure what my favourite part of the night was. Photojunkie‘s great photobooth (the pic above is courtesy of none other than the man himself), the red hot DJ set by Speedboats and Big Explosions, the feats of strength and manliness, the great people who showed, the appearance from the folks at Movember Canada – so much fun was had and it made for a great addition to the Tweetgasm “franchise.”

We’re very proud of all of you who came out int he bitter cold and showed your support for changing the face of men’s health. Canada is making a big difference and has already raised over $23 million to lead the world in Movember support and breaking last year’s record!

Thanks to our sponsors!

I’m not sure where to begin. All I can say is that I am astonished by the generosity of the community here in Toronto. You’ve all come together to help in the fight against prostate cancer and I salute all who showed up to Mogasm. And boy, where there a lot of you.

Needless to say, but Mogasm was a resounding success and in addition to the PWYC donations at the door people got to meet and interact with their twitter followers and also make new connections and get inspired. Since Rannie, myself, Casie and Mark hosted the first Tweetgasm back in the summer, it has remained one of the true tweetups out there where both old and new people in the community meet up and chat, exchange ideas, or just have a drink with good folks. See Rannie’s amazing pics from the event by clicking the picture at the top left of this post or clicking here.

movember - Michael NusMogasm was a little different than the other Tweetgasms this time ’round obviously since it was designated it as an official Movember event so it had all the posters and official branding, with great little buttons that just about all of you wanted to get your hands on – you know which one’s I’m talking about. But aside from that it was all the little things that could only be accomplished through the generosity of great folks like Jeremy V, Jeremy W, SeanErika, Amanda Lynn, Mads, and Akermanis. They all donated their time and talent to mogasm and I sincerely thank them.

Many of you will remember some of the really cool tings like bacon and whisky cupcakes and a giant mustache on a skateboard up at the front (thanks again Mads and Amanda Lynn!)
A memorable moment was when Sean Ward mounted the damn thing and rode it down Queen St. W. Well I’m excited to report that on this coming

Sunday at 12 noon at Dundas Square


we will be taking the giant mo out for another spin.
Yes, #MORidesTO is on and we hope to see you there! The concept is simple, and we will be taking lots of pictures and video. Definitely not to be missed!

TweetGasm Movember Edition - Michael Nus

I think I’ve gone off the deep end with putting together Movember events, but after a lot of hard work and help from a fine host of folks I’ve managed to put together a pretty swingin’ night tonight for my mo bros and mo sistas!

Special thanks to Jeremy Wright, Rannie Turingan, Sean Moffitt, Madeleine Kassinger and Jeremy Vandermej in helping put some shine on this little square dance!

It all came together nicely so see you out tonight at 7pm at the Gladstone Hotel. Pay what you can at the door and we got shwag, auctions, cupcakes, Speedboats and Big Explosions for you. RSVP below!

If you noticed the hastag in the title of this post, then great! You’re ahead of the game in knowing that anything you tweet with that hashtag will show up on the twitter wall (except blatant racism and wanton profanity)! Here’s the twitter wall if you want to follow along: http://www.michaelnus.com/tweetgasm-movember/
