It was the best fun I've had in a while, I think it really showed the spirit of Linux!
Did you, like, merge lugs?
yep.. alug met Lonix ;)..
and the peoples front of Judea, and the Judean peoples front,
Also worth watching was the above factions standing up and shouting "Splitters!!" at each other (they had neighbouring stalls) Geeks at their best!
Thanks

Thats ok, you asked for people to collect freebies for you, and I did. Sorry I only stole one penguin tho.

Silly, whats silly? I learnt yesterday whilst talking to the Gay person with a tail, "why do i give a shit what others think?" and he's right, why do I care? We weren't doing anything wrong, breaking any rules etc... we were just having a bloody good laugh. I really enjoyed it, I'm hoping to go back and see some of the Lonix and Glug (Judean peoples front and Peoples front of Judean) again soon.
Not only this, but this has to be one of the few groups of people where I felt like I fitted in and got on well with them all.
And yes, it was a mass LUG fest, we were all guests of LONIX and the GLUG!
Thanks

Heh, I only made it to the expo late on Thursday. As I predicted there were no freebies worth getting at that point, but the perforce people forced me to take a glider (even though I didn't want one) because they appeared to have thousands of them left.
I have heard the best trade shows for freebies are the American ones, if you are not giving away something substantial (small plastic penguin, fridge magnets etc.) nobody will visit your stand! Apparently most of the people exhibiting try to outdo each other with the quality of the freebies.

He was a nice girl and part of a tail related internet comunity apparently his girl friend was a fox and he was some other anaimal, some one I did not know made a joke about beastiality, but a good relief from the goat sex related topics that sprang up at manlug

They are genuaninely devided on the important issues, such as beer V linux which is more important and other such ideological devides.
Not only this, but this has to be one of the few groups of people where I felt like I fitted in and got on well with them all.
Ah poor bunny, why not track down the tail based internet comunity they seemed fun to. I cant bitch though as It was remarkably friendly and no matter how desperate you where to get hold of soft toys people thought it was perfectly natural. ( Bet you cant guess who that may have been)
And yes, it was a mass LUG fest, we were all guests of LONIX and the GLUG!
I met Wylug members, ManLug members and sheflug members as well, as the locals. Its was like a tribal gethering for this nomad.

Actually HE was called moof and is actually not interested in women, so it was his boy friend who is the fox and it was that latters tail he had borrowed. He says there are more like him at http://www.londonfurs.org/ Also he is from kent and is a student at Kent Uni.

Which is good, as one of the guys from GLUG put it, we have the lectures on techy issues, they get them from the police :o)
Still a load of fun tho.

http://www.londonfurs.org/ - I don't really relate to the furries but the geeks/nerds/hackers which were in the bar I could relate to.
And yes, it was a mass LUG fest, we were all guests of LONIX and

GLUG!

I met Sheflug and manlug and Lonix and GLUG people also a group looking to form a LUG in kent. Like you say it was a tribal gathering.
