Hosting a release party

[Darcy Casselman]

Windows 7 is supposed to be out Oct 22, whereas Karmic releases Oct
29.  I'm all for having more parties.  Separate nights makes total
sense.

I may have to wear my Che Stallman t-shirt and hand out pamplets to
the Windows folks at their party, though.  They need to learn the
error of their ways.  And if they throw me out, I can get on Slashdot.
 I can't lose!

Darcy.
