Geekdinner aftermath

Friday, November 25th, 2005 at 11:43 am

Yesterday was Molly’s geek dinner in the hog’s head in Bond Street, and it was quite a good social gathering.

Check the flickr photos to see what was going on.

My findings:

  • geekdinner is a rubbish tag, as you can see at number on non-related pictures (including the pita goatse )
  • if you ever want to give a speech in a place where nobody will be able to hear you, choose the hog’s head – poor Ian, Molly and Andy tried their best though
  • All the christmas lights in the West End are normal christmas lights again – last year everything was branded with “The Incredibles”
  • Too many pints make me stop writing things at night
