[ NTK is on its June "Geeks Go Comatose!" Summer break, but
we're interrupting that to give you this, the final outline
of NOTCON, this Sunday's improvisational gabberfest. We're
quite excited, though whether that's because it will turn
out to be a watershed moment in the UK digital scene or
because the prospect of imminent chaos always gets us hot,
is as yet unclear.
Turn up early, pay four quid (three if you can give us the
URL of your RSS feed, or are in some other way pitied by
normal society), and partake of the following: ]

OBLIGATORY LAST MINUTE PLEA: Got an LCD projector? Want to
bring it along to NotCon? Email projectors@ejhp.net . And if
you have a nice long length of Cat-5, please bring that
along too. (As if you wouldn't.) Mail cat5@ejhp.net to boast
its imminent arrival. Ta!
NotCon '04 is an informal, low-cost, one-day conference on things
that technologies were perhaps not intended to do. It spans
11am-7pm on Sunday June 6th, 2004.
You can get to it by going to Imperial College Union, Beit Quad,
Prince Consort Road, South Kensington SW7 2BB (nearest tubes
South Kensington and Gloucester Road - NB: Piccadilly line only
at weekend, no service on Circle line, no District line between
Whitechapel and Earls Court). Some food (vending machines etc)
will beavailable at the venue but you are advised to visit local
retailers and hostelries for more substantial fare.
