From robin at berjon.com Sun Mar 11 11:39:26 2007 From: robin at berjon.com (Robin Berjon) Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2007 19:39:26 +0100 Subject: [Dahut-pm] 30th Birthday Party - 15/03/2007 - Paris Message-ID: <02D6884D-4366-42A4-9297-BAD5E66D80BC@berjon.com> Dear all, as you know this fateful year I am hitting the big 30. And as you also know, in a dimensional arrangement in which time is traditionally considered to flow in a single direction, this sort of event only happens once. Now, as you no doubt know as well, this is not the only event to only occur once in a lifetime ? indeed there are many other such occurrences, arbitrary examples of which include licking a dead boar's face in Enschede, being five times 2017 days old, watching the Eurovision on MDMA spiked tequila, or betting that you can do the moonwalk in moonboots while listening to ABBA's _The Winner Takes It All_ on a ferry from Trondheim to ?. Yet, yielding to the bourgeois convenience and heteronormative drone of tradition, I have decided to make this unique moment singular by organising an extremely unusual type of event: on the evening of Thursday March 15th 2007, starting at around 1900, a number of us will gather in bars and consume large amounts of alcohol. Since 30 is three decades, the reasoning goes that one would require three bars in which to gather. The primary location is: Les Jeux de Pom 123 boulevard de M?nilmontant 75011 Paris (France) The secondary location is: Le Lou Pascalou rue des Panoyaux 75020 Paris (France) And the third location, to which people should go if we manage to fill the two previous ones, is: Le Saint-Sauveur rue des Panoyaux 75020 Paris (France) At this point you may be wondering how we're going to fill three bars, which may not be the biggest that Paris has to offer but that can still accommodate quite a few. The idea is this: bring everyone. If I've had a drink with them, I want to have another on that night. If I've shaken their hand but not had a drink, well it's about time we had one together. If we've never met, heck that's the night on which to get acquainted. Basically, if it's still warm, it's not only welcome but in fact invited. If you come, don't bring presents ? bring people. Likewise, if you're not coming, don't send presents ? send people, whether I know them or not they'll be given drinks. Thirty years isn't very long at all, but it's made from encounters of all kinds with all manners of people. I'm thinking it would be fun to have a big bunch of those off their brains on White Russians there. I know that most if not all of you won't be able to make it, and some of you will be celebrating a similar event elsewhere. But hey, if you know someone stranded in Paris, send them, and next time we meet we'll catch up on the drinking :) All three bars are within a tiny trot of one another, I'll be shuttling from one to the next about every hour. After 2am, I have no clue what may befall those who are still conscious and haven't defected to the last metro. But I'm sure we'll come up with something.

Can someone with a bit more flair for the graphical step up and provide us with a Logo to fill the above specs? You'll of course become the dahut:inChargeOf SillyGraphicLogos. -Chris From jgsmith at tamu.edu Tue Mar 20 14:11:46 2007 From: jgsmith at tamu.edu (James Smith) Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2007 16:11:46 -0500 Subject: [Dahut-pm] In need of Graphics Message-ID: <8EDD7791-1986-4B39-8931-F4CA638CEBCB@tamu.edu> Chris Prather wrote: > >Can someone with a bit more flair for the graphical step up and >provide us with a Logo to fill the above specs? > >You'll of course become the dahut:inChargeOf SillyGraphicLogos. I was working on a version of the Programming Republic of PERL when my version of Inkscape croaked, so I'm going to have to start over. I might get something put together tomorrow. I'm not a great artist, but what I'm thinking is something like http://www.sppn.nl/logo.html But with a Dahut on a hill in the circle (in place of the camel and windmill) and the words 'PERL Mongers of' on the top (replacing 'Programming Republic of') and 'DAHUT' on the bottom (replacing 'PERL'). -- James Smith Texas A&M CIS Operating Systems Group, Unix
