OK, decision time. Beertown, or ERK?

I'm going to make meatballs, brussels sprouts, and boiled potatoes
(today is Spherical Food Day at the Jonkman's), eat dinner (yes, this
is dinner time at the Jonkman's), watch a bit of TV, and then come
back to the mailing list to see what's been decided.

I want to spam^H^H^H^H send a message to the other mailing lists to
let them know about the Homebrew Hosting Club and Ubuntu Release Party
in Toronto tomorrow, and at the same time let people finalize their
plans to attend the KW release party.

With this amount of planning, it's going to be GR-R-R-REAT!
