Wild And Wicked Wolverhampton Weekend

by | Thu 22 Oct 2009

Tomorrow I fly to England back to Wolverhampton for [LugRadio Live 2009](https://www.lugradio.org/live/2009/). I have been over in California now for over a year and it will be the first time I have got to see many of my friends since I moved. It will also be the final re-union of the LugRadio team for the last ever live show and last ever LugRadio Live. It is going to be a blast!

Although LugRadio Live is entirely sold out of tickets, there is going to be one hell of a party on the Friday night at *The Hogshead, 186 Stafford Street, Wolverhampton, WV1 1NA* from 7.30pm and also on the Saturday night at the *The Connaught Hotel, 40-50 Tettenhall Rd, Wolverhampton, WV1 4SW* from 8pm. On the Saturday there will be Karaoke. Oh yes. Everyone is welcome to both parties, and I would love to see you all there! 🙂

The fun doesn’t end there though, oh no! On the Sunday, the first ever [OggCamp](https://oggcamp.org/) is going to take place at The Connaught Hotel in Wolverhampton, and it is shaping up to be an incredible event. The organizers behind it, the venerable [Ubuntu UK](https://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/) and [Linux Outlaws](https://linuxoutlaws.com/) podcasts, have worked hard to make it a rocking event and I can’t wait for it! I really hope it becomes a staple in the UK Open Source event calendar. So, good people, get your delicate arses over to OggCamp too. 🙂

What a rollicking weekend of Open Source goodness, firmly seated in the great British heartlands:

* **Friday 23rd October** – Party at The Hogs Head in Wolverhampton.
* **Saturday 24th October** – LugRadio Live 2009 and party at The Connaught Hotel in Wolverhampton.
* **Sunday 25th October** – OggCamp at The Connaught Hotel in Wolverhampton.

I look forward to seeing you all there!

The Impact of One Person

I am 35 years old and *people* never cease to surprise me. My trip home from Los Angeles today was a good example of this. It was a tortuous affair that should have been a quick hop from LA to Oakland, popping on BArt, and then getting home for a cup of tea and an...
