Also, if you play an instrument and are free on <em>any</em> of those nights, get in touch with Debbie Murray (email dfm30) as we'd like a slightly bigger orchestra. I'll be in the chorus as usual.<br /><br />Also, next term's show is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pirates_of_Penzance">The Pirates of Penzance</a>, which was my first encounter with G&amp;S back at Warwick and is, I think, my favourite of those I've seen. This one will be at the Arts Theatre and will be a lot of work, but very much worth doing. :-) Auditions, if anyone else wants to take part, are 7:45-10 tonight at Catz Chapel, and tomorrow (7:45-10) and Friday (7:15-10) in the Lloyd Room at Christ's. Not sure when I'm going yet.<br /><br />In other news, I can thoroughly recommend <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Orange_Box">The Orange Box</a>. I recently finished <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_%28video_game%29">Portal</a>, and loved every minute of it, especially the ending song, <a href="http://stage6.divx.com/user/UD1121/video/1730274/Portal-Ending-Credits"><i>Still Alive</i></a>. Even better, that and Half Life 2 (so presumably the other games too) work fine in <a href="http://www.winehq.org/">Wine</a>; I've been playing them on Ubuntu. :-)
