Geek alert for Civic and surrounding areas

Just doing my civic duty here in reporting any known gatherings of computer geeks, which as an insider, I am committed to doing in the interests of all Canberra residents. The following information is intented to provide unsuspecting Canberra residents planning to be in Civic tonight, an opportunity to make alternative arrangements should they deem it necessary.

Tonight, in Civic, a gathering of no less than 25 roboticists will occur at approximately 6.30pm. The duration of this gathering may extend into the later hours of the night. The intention, as it has been reported to me, is to, and I quote, "have dinner and socialise". This should at least contain the situation to one establishment for a few hours, however, it is entirely likely that the roboticists will then disperse to one or more of the public bars in the area, in an attempt to socialise further. Civic pub goers, as always in these situations, are advised to stay well clear, and most importantly, to not make eye contact or attempt conversation. As far as I know, the local night clubs are not likely to be effected, but this possibility cannot be ruled out either.
