- Name : Absent Abacus
- Venue : Yusuf's House
Bring someone else who might be interested. Bonus points if that person is your friend.
Stuff to bring
There will be a wireless notwork, so bring your laptop. There should also be a large screen, so if you're presenting, make a demo/powerpoint slideshow/whatever.
You'll probably be parking your car at Cresta, unless you want to park on the street, where your car is more likely to be stolen. Your call.
Menu
The menu will be ... pizza. If you're bringing a friend, *let me know* (ymotara - at - deloitte - dot - co - dot - za), otherwise your friend might end up being very hungry. We're catering for 7-10 people right now, and we're doing vegetarian and meat options. These people are:
- Thamsanqua Moyo
- Glenn Wilkinson
- Bradley Clayton
- Jonathan Carter
- Yusuf Motara
- Tristan Seligmann
- Dominic White
- Jean-Pierre van Riel
- Justin (Tham's Friend)
- Bearnard (Brad's Friend)
If you're on the above list, but you're not coming, please let me know (and update the list). If you're vegan or have some other dietary requirement that I don't know about, let me know.

Directions
Park your car at the Cresta shopping mall, it's the safest option. Coming south on the N1, take the Beyers Naude offramp. Turn left at the first robot, this will take you towards Northcliff. You are now on Beyers Naude. Pass through a set of traffic lights, go down the hill and up the hill, pass through another set of traffic lights, and turn left into Judges. Go through a set of traffic lights. Turn right at the next set of traffic lights, this is the junction of Republic and Judges. Turn right at the next set of traffic lights, and you'll be in the Cresta parking lot. Park your car.
Take a walk back to the junction of Judges and Republic. Walk up Judges, away from Beyers Naude. Take the first road left. Take the first road right. On the right side of the road you'll see a dark-green gate made of dark-green metal spikes, with a "No Hooting" sign on it. Resist the urge to hoot (it's likely that I'll just mistake you for an owl if you do), and call me instead (082 927 8658).
If you want to find your way using our street address, it's 56 Lords Avenue, Windsor East.
