Hi all,
Take a moment to look forward to your impending long weekend of seasonal
festivities with close family, distant relatives, and the
not-quite-distant-enough ones. Think of the present opening, the joy of
seeing another pair of socks, the screams of rage that inform you that
Ben 10 was last years hot thing and a completely inappropriate present
to have given this year. Just think about the meal of curiously burned
stuffing inside a not-quite-cooked turkey which you will then smother
with cranberry jam for no apparent culinary purpose. Spare a moment to
consider the bowl of sprouts and the fun of watching adults attempting
to fool children into thinking they are edible. Perhaps after the meal
someone will suggest that you all play a board game together, won’t that
be fun! The best you can hope for is that they will all be asleep before
the Dr Who Christmas special starts.
If these thoughts of Christmas have left you in need of a stiff drink,
don’t worry you are not alone, and we have a plan. The Ubuntu UK
Christmas event will be held *tonight*, December 21st from 7PM at The
Hub Islington http://islington.the-hub.net/public/
Hub Islington is just a 2 minute walk from Angel tube station (Northern
Line).
Address: Hub Islington, Candid Arts Trust, 5 Torrens Street, London,
EC1V 1NQ, UK
It is through a dark little door on the right at the end of Torrens
Street and up loads of stairs, I will put a sign on the door.
You can register your attendance here http://ubunt.eu/c2 (launchpad
account required - or just turn up). We would invite you to bring some
Christmas and/or Ubuntu themed nibbles and optionally a bottle of
something to ward off the cold (there will be a £5 collection on the
door to pay for the room hire). Take an evening out to relax with
friends and steel yourself for what is to come.
No Sprouts
Top selling job there Alan :D Sadly I won’t be able to make it but, I see many
are already on their way to the venue http://bit.ly/eV9axG
