*Roll up, roll up, it's the Official Libcom Christmas Dinner!!*

You, dear libcommie, are cordially invited to the Official Libcom Xmas Dinner on Saturday 16th December 2006! We thought it would be good to get togther as many people as possible at the end of the year to eat good food and chat good politics. The dinner will take palce at the Bonnington Cafe, London.

The Bonnington Cafe is a co-op volunteer run vegetarian restuarant in Vauxhall (loads of busses, trains and tubes). They have a different chef each night of the week, always cooking quality food.

You will be treated to a three-course meal for a mere £10 per head, and will need to bring your own alcohol.

YOU MUST BOOK IN ADVANCE - we have to make sure we cover the costs and don't let anyone down, so if you want a place to be reserved, you must pay us in advance. To buy a ticket, it's best to PM me and ask for either bank details to do a transfer, or my address to send a cheque. If you really, really must pay through Paypal you can, but it will cost and extra £1 to cover fees, and will make our lives trickier. If you do want to pay through Paypal, you still need to PM me beforehand so I know who you are and can put your name down!

As this is a fundraiser dinner we'd ask if you added on some shiny coins to the £10, to feed to the server! Also, for those of you with a disposition for knitting (I know you're out there), you can come along earlier and learn to knit in the fabulous I Knit shop and lounge in Bonnington Square.

We need to confirm numbers with the Bonnington as soon as possible, so don't wait around!!!

I wouldn't say no to any of that.

Actually I'd rather have a lovely slice of homous pate.

Stop that angry they do awesome food at the Bonnington, not crappy old school veggie stuff. It's awesome, as anyone who's been will tell you smile

yeah i'm sure for veggie stuff it's amazing but it's got a fundamental flaw, it's not got meat in it, and as we know meat exists on a higher level to any veggie stuff.

3 November, 2006 - 12:27

Maybe they let people bring their own meat, since you have to bring your own booze. You could sneak in some pre-cooked poultry, maybe.

3 November, 2006 - 12:29

dang i think i'm going to be up mountains in the lake district freezing my balls off over that weekend

3 November, 2006 - 12:31

ffs you always have an excuse angry wink

If you weren't such a dirty hippy I'd have expected you to say you can't come cos you're washing your hair.

3 November, 2006 - 12:31

I want to come. I'll check dates then confirm.

Do they do good nut roast? 'Cause if it's good it's the best Christmas food EVER. Last year my dad made one that had layers of nuts, stuffing and garlic mushrooms. It was fucking AMAZING. At the other end of the spectrum is the nut roast at my college, which resembles powder and tastes of watery nausea.

Therefore, my attendence or otherwise may well depend on the quality of nut roast.

hehe, it's not having an excuse, it's called having a life tongue

What we get is entirely dependent on the chef that night, and it will most probably not be "Christmas" food as such, but it's still dinner in aid of christmas and libcom so it still counts Libcom Christmas Dinner.

And if you're lucky, you'll get a red and black party hat to boot cool

3 November, 2006 - 12:36

But Christmas dinner is the best thing ever. Definitely the best thing Christianity has ever contributed to the world, if not the only good thing.

Ah well. I'll come along and hope that the chef likes Christmas dinner too. You've pretty much swayed me with the hat.

3 November, 2006 - 12:38

Yay! I mean it might be christmassy. But still it's £10 for 3 courses which can't be argued with smile

*reminds self to make red and black christmas hats so as not to disappoint Grace*

3 November, 2006 - 12:39

What's the betting you can't smoke in there?

If not, I'll have to stand outside with my nose pressed against the window, like a Victorian orphan outside a toyshop. Which is quite Christmassy in itself, I suppose.

I think it'll be me doing that in my flat cat and scarf and you will just look like a child molestor trying to pick up kids with Foucaultian chat up lines.

Well, now you either have to come, or pay the £10 anyway.

I'm sure any underage child would be far more impressed with your angsty, warmed-over village existentialism.

damn straight, though detached historical positivism with a slight whiff of underdog sympathy is far better at seducing once radical bourgeois academics.
