Back in February, we told you about Twestival, a worldwide "tweet-up" in the name of raising money for charity:water. Over 200 cities, incuding Los Angeles and Anaheim hosted their own Twestivals. What madeTwestival and the partnership with charity:water so great, in addition to the fact that thousands of people came together to make this happen in a matter of weeks, is that 100% of the proceeds raised from Twestival goes directly to the provision of clean and safe drinking water. (And we browsed their financials, they are legit).

LACMA’s latest exhibit combines cars and art, but not just any cars -- or just any artists. Four BMW Art Cars designed by designed by Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg are on display from today until Feb. 24. “Stella’s black-and-white square grid reminiscent of oversized graph paper on a racing coupé will be displayed along with Warhol’s BMW M1, which was raced at the famous Le Mans in 1979. Lichtenstein’s distinctive BMW 320i racing car will reflect his trademark pop art, comic strip design, and viewers will be intrigued by Rauschenberg’s BMW 635 CSi, which tells a story using renowned works of art.”

With one day left until tomorrow's Twestival, the event is continuing to grow. In addition to the LA Twestival at downtown's 740 Club, now Anaheim will host their own Twestival tomorrow night at the Sheraton Park.
