Neil Oosthuizen is becoming a bit of a legend in the Severed Fifth community. Not only did he start the United Arab Emirates Street Team, and already starting postering Severed Fifth over there, but he has been out on another awesome Street Team mission.
Neil posted to the forums about this, but I wanted to blog it to show the awesome work going on. Before I start, if you want to join the team, be sure to join their Facebook group where they chat and go and tell Neil that he rocks!
Over to Neil….
Just some feedback on what I was up too the past week…
It all started out rocking on Monday and Tuesday when I prepared some flyers and CD’s to hand out at the Ubuntu Installfest that was occurring on Wednesday in Dubai, and also to hand out to a band playing at 49ers night club in Abu Dhabi…

Unfortunalty I got some bad news that I was not going to be able to hand out flyers and CD’s at the installfest (very conservitive establishment), I however was so busy the whole day I wouldn’t have even had time to be honest.
(Just for interest sakes here is a link to some photo’s of the Installfest http://www.meetup.com/EmiratesLoCo/photos/1287630/)
Very very late that night the wife and I finally made it too the 49ers club to enjoy the local band there (they are known as “the Philippino Band” by the Hotel… very creative :/) and I made up a little package with CD’s and flyers to give to the band… which was confiscated at the door of the club (but I did however manage to give the band a ticket so they could get it at the door) Wasn’t able to chat with the band as access to the back is strictly denied and in the club the music was too loud… such a different culture way of life here… So know I hope to here from them and hope they get the word out 
Just for the kicks I uploaded this photo’s of the first time we where at the club (I didn’t get anything to do with Severed Fifth to take photo’s off Wednesday night)…

Rock on \m/
