[Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu Hour or State Fair, conundrum.

[Che Dean]

We won't be able to make it...again. It has been a terrible week dealing
with a neighbor from hell and the after effects of a flea infestation on
the property. We can be found at McMenamins in Corvallis if anyone wants to
commiserate with us.

Have an awesome long weekend all, relax and keep the positive Ubuntu vibes
flowing. 😀
