GeekDinner

We’re up to 78 Geek Diners for Eccentric Eggplant, the fifth Cape Town GeekDinner, to be held at Ferryman’s Tavern at the V&A Waterfront on Wednesday (ie, the 28th November 2007).

According to the sign-up page, only 2 more people are allowed, but there are always a couple of last-minute cancellations when people remember that it’s their anniversary and their spouse will kill them if they’re off geeking instead of taking them to a nice dinner.

(Extra points: Take the spouse to the GeekDinner. Don’t get killed, and get to geek out at the same time.)

This will be our first attempt at Slideshow Karaoke – where we volunteer two victims (Jonathan Hitchcock and Bryn Divey in this case) to give a talk on a subject they may know nothing about with slides prepared by others (Russell Cloran and Jeremy Thurgood in this case) and given to the speakers at the same time the speaker is giving the talk to the audience. If it works, I think we should have a few slideshow karaoke sessions at StarCamp…

This is to announce the fifth Cape Town GeekDinner, which will be held on Wednesday, November the 28th, upstairs at Ferrymans in the Waterfront, at 19:00 for 19:30.

Details of the menu and talks can be found on the wiki page.

Sign up to the wiki if you want to come along, and tell your friends!

If you want to give a talk, add yourself to the wiki, along with details of your talk.

We will also be having our first Slideshow Karaoke session – somebody will be giving a talk based on slides they’ve never seen before.

Hope to see you there!
