Pitch to your timeline and the industry professionals tend to search the tag. Remember, many are pitching and they can’t see all. So a ‘like’ is to be celebrated, but the most important part is to have fun!

For all our baddies out there who take things very literally, for today's #UnhingedPit just pick a time zone and roll with it. We do not care if you live in Australia but post in Chicago's 8am-8pm timeframe. Remember, no rules except nothing conventional.

Happy #UnhingedPit day, everyone! If it's past 8am in your time zone, then that means the pitch event is open and ready for your unhinged pitches! A reminder that the correct event tag is #UnhingedPit, NOT @UnhingedPit . Good luck and have fun!
