I know you sent this nearly a week ago, but I'm only just now getting around to clearing out the inbox after a week of the flu. I will also be at BSDcon Europe in mid-November. I am, however, at a loss to suggest what else to do whilst in Europe. You (like me) are going to find yourself on the South Cost of England (Brighton) in the middle of November. This is not a wholly unpleasant experience, although there isn't a huge amount that presents itself. Other than the bleak skies. Huge waves. Chilling winds. Oh yeah, and isn't it Brighton that has a Gay Village? So at least there is a guarantee of some open-minded nightlife. :-) I do know that in the days leading up to the conf, there is a PHP conference over in Germany - http://www.php-conference.de/2001/index_en.php - which I considered going to, but will be unable to attend. You might consider it worth the entrance, plus the chance to get schloozled in Frankfurt. If they had had this in October, then the Oktoberfest would have been well worth visiting. :-) Otherwise, the only thing I can suggest is to go and do your Christmas shopping. You're less than an hour away on the train from London, or a few hour away by air from anywhere in Europe (after you get to London). Of course, you could always go to the Alps to do some ski-ing/babe-watching. Something I'm considering myself. If you really are at a loss, I'm always willing to be your amiable drinking partner. :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
