Today I attended my very first Flicks for Free on campus because honestly I needed to attend an event for this class and it was all that was left. However I was pleasantly surprised at the a) the turnout, and b) the film. I thought it was so cool how OSU Student Life puts together these events for students and not that many people take advantage of it. It was very interesting to see such a film with a vast array of students though. Going to the movies with your friends is usually a fun ordeal but it just had a different feel to it. It almost seemed out of place. Perhaps this is why the attendance is not very high at these events. Anyway, while I was there, I obviously had to tweet and I decided I'd try to get some awareness of this event. I used handles for Ohio State, Ohio Union, and the movie itself, yet I could not get a retweet. I guess the union was not interested in my lonely advertising. Either way, the people who follow me, and whoever searches for the handles and hashtags I use will see my tweets, and hopefully this event will gather some strength!
