- Tried to make a Manhattan with cheap Scotch. Bourbon was out. Do not recommend. Should have taken the Scotch neat, but was on a sweet kick. 03:36:02 AM May 19, 2012 from Twitter for Android

Are you not over early enough to come to LugRadio Live? We promise to not make you hack specific hatred into Banshee this time…

Thanks!
>July 22-25 – In Brussels, need something fun to do
Friday 22 and Saturday 23 night, you could come to the Jefke in the campus of ULB university (the uni where FOSDEM stands) and see how belgians do party when the academic year is over
You might need a student card, but a false one is good if you look young enough to be a student. (
Dopplr.
sil: oops. I looked at the LRL 2006 page earlier; LRL 2007 is before I will get to Europe, so I it’s out of the question unfortunately. Maybe next year!
Belgian uni party!
Aaron: darn. We shall content ourselves with Joe Shaw then
yop > it’s in july not in june, the Jefke will be closed.
But don’t worry there will still be plenty bar left open and partying student.

My mistake, I read too fast. I thought that Aaron was coming in June.

Sorry for any broken hope
Actually, I’m so lame that during all this time, I was wondering why the hell the GUADEC was scheduled during the students’ exams.
22nd of July is a great day to visit the ‘Gentse Feesten’. It’s not that far from Brussels and very easy to travel to by train. Visit http://www.gentsefeesten.be/ around June to see what you can do. Basically it’s the core of the city of Ghent transformed into a place full of festivities, musical entertainment and a lot of great Belgian Beer (if you want a great night out, this is it). If you don’t know which beer to order here’s a list: http://www.belgischebieren.be/
A nice race riot is being arranaged in Whithall on June 14th. Go along take some pictures.
Even though we should not promote the Gentsche Fieste too much (since already a lot of people fill town that period) – I concur with Yves Reynhout: De Gentsche Fieste (Gentse Feesten / Feasts of Ghent) are great! A dozen or so stages on the different squares in the inner with (free!) music, streets filled with crowds and (free!) street theatre as well as street-animation-for-spare-change, and a lot of jenever and beer. (Not free though – the expression “free as in beer†does not really apply here.)
Don’t let the link http://www.belgischebieren.be/ fool you – it only lists a small portion of the Belgian beers. The site http://www.belgian-beer.net/ is a bit more complete. Festivities end on Monday 23 July – or, to be more accurate, Tuesday morning 24 July.
