The conference party will be held on Saturday the 7th of March on the

seafood . Food will be of southern style with barbeque brisket, chicken
and shrimp as main courses. Vegetarian options will also be available.

cover band from Austin, Texas. The Eggmen have been voted the best
cover band in Austin for six years in a row. In Austin
<http://www.austintexas.org/> , the self proclaimed 'live music capital
of the world', that is no mean feat.
