Firefox party tonight

Update: There wasn’t a very big turn out but all the same it was fun. It poured non-stop. We were at the Opera Bar for a while before proceeding on to Aqua. Thanks to all those that made an effort to turn up and show your support and appreciation to both WSG and Firefox. Head on over to Maxine’s Flickr for the photos from last night.

Just letting you know I may not live up to your expectations today! And if you are wondering why… I got off the bed at 9 this morning! And almost flew to work… totally forgetting that I’d to take my camera along… and right now its raining pretty hard! :( I am still looking forward to the usual WSG crowd if not more… and yes after I have pinched some photos off Maxine’s camera I will have ‘em here for you to ogle!

And for those interested in yesterday’s meeting at Wellington, NZ, here you go.
