“It was madness” declared Emily Farnsworth, the convention coordinator for RHS. “Our Ladies were requesting to be taken to the Red Hat convention and would wind up wandering around through a bunch of computer nerds giving away decorative reflective coasters. One of our ladies did manage to find a kiosk that purported to have a new version of purl knitting called “Perl”, but frankly, she couldn’t read a word of the instructions.”

“Dude, it was like old lady crazy up in there.” Said M4dn355, of the 312-133t cru3, “The cab dropped me off at the wrong convention center, but tha l8ies were too wild to check for badges. They were wigged out with these giant felt hats and were getting jiggy with the margaritas, yo. So I pulled out my Sharp Linux handheld and scripted up a web cam server and 802.11b’d the madness back to the RHL conference for the 312-133t cru3 homies.”

M4dn355 elected to remain at the Red Hat Society conference after meeting Ms. Edna Maynard, Queen Mother of the 455th Red Hat Chaper of Boise, ID.
