Hey guys, looks like you missed your local Kitsilano indie record label on your list!
That’d be us, Thorny Bleeder Records.
Judging by your list, we should be in 2nd place with 2248 followers…
Happy Hippy Daze to everyone!
: )
Brian, it seems when they say “businesses in Kits” they only mean restaurants and stores. Not an accurate list but more of a mutual admiration club.
Great list and great to see Kits businesses using Twitter. We use it to keep our customers up to date on cool green events and articles. We have over 1,000 followers @frogbox
Thanks for compiling!

How Can Writers Use Twitter?
Hi, I am trying to help market some of the local stores. I have many coupons from local stores and gift baskets for those who are new to the neighbourhood. Please give me a call anytime 10pm-7am (except during the day, I have a full time night job)
Thanks!
