If you follow Sprout on Twitter then you've seen us hint at a Provo Craft Twitter Gypsy party this week. I can confirm that we are indeed having a blowout party with our Provo Craft friends, and here are the details on how to get involved. First off, we're celebrating the worldwide launch of the Gypsy on HSN, Thursday at midnight (eastern time. It'll actually be Wednesday night for those of us further west.) Jinger Adams will be debuting the mobile crafting device during several segments that will run throughout the day Thursday at midnight, 1 am, 8 am, 11 am, noon, 4 pm, and 9pm. (View the schedule here) We're having a celebration online to help promote the launch as well as help answer your questions about Gypsy. We'll have epic giveaways, product experts, streaming video of Gypsy parties and more throughout the night and into the early morning (and continuing into Thursday night!) This party is built around Twitter, but you dont' have to be on Twitter to get involved. We want anyone and everyone to get involved and join the conversation, and win some schwag in the process. Here's how: If you're on Twitter, follow the @provocraft account and tag your Tweets with the hashtag #Gypsy. Follow the hashtag to keep up with the rest of the conversation - the best ways to follow are TweetChat and search.twitter.com. If you use Tweetdeck or Seesmic Desktop, then simply plug #Gypsy into the search box, hit return and you'll have a column dedicated to it. If you're not on Twitter (and even if you are), then come to cricut.com/gypsy starting at 11pm EST Wednesday night and join the conversation through the chat portal we''ll have up. You'll be able to see all the Tweets, while still chatting, asking questions and showing off your projects/blog. We'll have streaming video up, poll questions and more. This is Party Central, please join us! You can ask questions, show off projects or your blog, connect with other crafters. @ProvoCraft will throw out poll questions and get your opinions, but basically the night is devoted to crerativity - the party goes where you want it to. Provo Craft will be doing a major giveaway leading up to every appearance by Jinger, so you'll want to be paying attention. Basically, I'll say that if you've ever wanted a Cricut Expression (or another Cricut model), you'll want to stay up with us. Be prepared for anything! We may as you to post a quick snapshot of your latest project, or something pink in your house, so have a camera ready if you'd like to win that Cricut. Don't worry, not all giveaways will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. We may ask for your most embarassing craft story in 140 characters, with the most embarassing winning (so that scrapbook page you did with your child's name misspelled throughout may pay off!) Are you having a Gypsy watch party? If so, let us know. Send us pics that prove it and you'll get a reward. Or even better, break out the webcam and stream it (using UStream or Justin.tv) and not only will we reward you, we'll place your stream on Gypsy Party central. To sum - Big party starting late Wednesday night; we're giving away lots of Cricuts and accessories; we'll answer your Gypsy questions; you'll get the chance to chat with the rest of the community and show off your projects and/or blog; join in via cricut.com/gypsy and Twitter hashtag #Gypsy and have some fun!
