Thanks for the party!

Copyfighting

Thanks to all the guys and girls who brought their bonhommie and yuletide spirit down on Saturday for our xmas party. The strong turnout could be explained by our Copyfighters revival but then again maybe the promise of free drink and party bags brought the crowds in. Either way it was great to see so many ORG volunteers and supporters getting down and festive. Particular highlights for me were the 650 Santas who swept through the venue on a boozy rampage, my first-ever game of werewolf and singing happy birthday to Creative Commons.

If you’ve uploaded photos of the night, please link them from the comments section below so we can all enjoy them. Also, please let us know if you want more Copyfighters in 2008. For the unitiated this informal, social event involves a trip to Speakers Corner for digital rights activists to vent on the day’s most pressing issues. If there’s sufficient support then we should bring it back.

Special thanks to Chris, Glyn, Sheila and Janita who helped pack the party bags. Most special thanks to Ian and Matthew from BBC Backstage who did much of the hosting and organisation.
