Ubuntu Below Zero, Jeff's birthday & Altsys Jazz

Got up early this morning and went downtown to attend the Ubuntu Love Day. Hung out a bit with Jeff Bailey and finally met Simon Law.

Lunch was a bit of an exercise. Both Jeff and I are vegetarian and explaining this to the Chinese hotel staff proved futile as they spoke neither English, nor French. Simon to the rescue!

In the evening we went to The Blue Nile with a 30-odd bunch of Ubuntu-ites to celebrate Jeff's birthday. And after dinner Vanessa and I went to see the Altsys Jazz Orchestra at Foccacio. Awesome! Shame on the local jazz community for not attending this show. I always end up being completely mesmerized when I see Jennifer & Bill's ensemble...
