[ubuntu-uk] Release Party for Gutsy?

[Josh Blacker]

What time is the final iso released? Just thinking if you could
install a new operating system on your laptop over breakfast it would
make good press. A windows installation would take until at least
brunch to finish, without all the extra drivers and programs...

I'm afraid I only know studenty venues in London, not particularly
good for a release party to be under a foot of club floor slime!
