WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to the raging success of The Sunset Strip's (@thesunsetstrip) first Tweet Crawl, [club crawl + Twitter community], back in July, The Strip has decided it's time again for Tweeps to tweet their way down America's most infamous strip of land for an evening of events and special offers at several of the businesses. Tweet Crawl 2.0 (#StripCrawl) is set for Tuesday, September 8 starting at The Standard, Hollywood (@standardhwood).

"We're having a blast turning a burgeoning online community into a real world party," states Nathan Levinson, marketing director, Viper Room. "We're all ecstatic about Tweet Crawl 2.0 (#StripCrawl) just two days before the kickoff of the Sunset Strip Music Festival. Count on festival tickets to be among the prizes up for grabs on this go.
