Filip Bunkens (@bunker on Twitter, or Lonebackrider from the Flickr set below) is one of the organisers of twiist, the affordable one day conference for linke-minded web creatives. In short:
On the 15th of may the “Provinciehuis” in Leuven will be the scene for a one day conference for webcreatives interested in everything concerning the web. Aral Balkan, Serge Jespers, Drew McLellan, Chris Messina, Elliot Jay Stocks, Brian Suda en Glenn Jones will present their ideas during the day.
Tickets for twiist.be, or The Way Internet Is Supposed To Be are very affordable to ensure that everybody, from students to big cooperations are able to attend. The goal is to connect and inspire people, so that they are motivated after the conference. That’s why the tickets are only 100 euro (excluding VAT). They are available now at http://www.twiist.be/register
Short on cash? Then get creative! We’ve got two tickets for the first two girl geeks who e-mail the correct answer to info (at) twiist (dot) be. And the question is: who came up with the name “twiist”?

One of the other items in the Brussels Girl Geek Dinner #13 was the 9th edition of monthly Belgian (Dutch spoken) magazine Goedele. In stores today, and already in the middle of a controversy. Major daily newspaper De Standaard doubts whether the cover, featuring Goedele Liekens herself in a combinaton of black lace and a nun’s habit, is either a marketing ploy or simply tasteless.

The 13th edition would literally not be possible without the kind people of MariaBingo. They took care of the venue, the catering, the entertainment and the goodie bag. Please give them lots of linklove!
MariaBingo was started on the 27th April 2006 in Sweden and has since then grown into one of the premium bingo gaming brands as well as expanded into new markets and new products within the female gaming industry. Currently MariaBingo is seeing great growth in Netherlands for this new hype that has already taken the Nordics and the UK with storm.

Two of the items in the goodie bag went “tick, tick” every time you moved it. They were… 1 bottle of Liefmans and the pretty glass that goes with it. How did you like the taste?
In addition to rehabilitating Liefmans’s existing premier beers to full honours, the brewery is also investing in the future. The range is being expanded to include a new fresh fruit beer, simply dubbed ‘Liefmans’. Its base is identical to that of the Liefmans Cuvée-Brut: beer that was left to mature for 18 months on fresh cherries. In line with the Liefmans expertise, this beer is then blended with fresh, natural fruit juices of strawberry, raspberry, cherry, elderberry and bilberry. The result is a summery, refreshing fruit beer that is delightfully sweet, with the sparkle of champagne and the freshness of a nicely chilled glass of white wine.
Elegant and fresh, the packaging and the bottle look a treat. A stylish matching tall stem glass completes the picture.

La Fille d’O is not a lingerie brand and Murielle Scherre is not a fashion designer. La Fille d’O is more of a state of mind. And a joke, that started 6 years ago on April Fool’s Day.
A lot has happened since then. There were sensational shows, unforgettable parties, video clips and all sorts of projects. Think Fifty Foot Combo. Oh, and books, tv appearances, and magazine interviews. And of course: the collections. Cake, Cats and Curiosity. Pumpkin. DryClean. ‘O Grrrls Going South. La Toile Vierge. Iscream. Razorblades and Lollipops. Her first shoe collection. And recently: Hard to Heart, a lingerie collection that urges you to follow your heart.
In the meanwhile Belgium’s favourite bad girl doubles as a deejay in all kinds of clubs – anything between Culture Club of Make Up CLub and the fair in your local village. This new dj project is called DeVilles Amateur Dollhouse.
So it’s safe to say La Fille d’O is definitely not a lingerie brand. It’s a state of mind. An excuse to think out of the box and to live life with all your senses.
Or, to quote Murielle: “To be honest: I am just interested. Period.”

Good news ladies! It’s ok to eat biscuits. No calorie counting on the Belvita cookies. Here comes the science:
Women today don’t want to compromise : they want both physical balance and enjoyment in life.
LU wants to contribute to this sensible way of living. Within a balanced way of eating and living, there is room for 2 to 3 moments of responsible inbetweens. Belvita is the new range of biscuits that fit within a responsible and balanced food pattern. They contain wheat, fruit and more delicious ingredients like dark chocolate. The range of Belvita consists of 8 variants : Petites Fleurs Chocolate, Petites Fleurs Cranberries, Délices Cranberries Framboises, Délices Orange Chocolate, Cracotte Apple, Cracotte Strawberry, Petites Tendresses Strawberry Cranberry and Petites Tendresses Mandarine-Lemon.
For the OCD sufferers : one bag of biscuits (individual portions) contains 94 to 99 kcal, corresponding to 4-5% of the advised daily amount of calories.
