    If you're here in London next week, feel free to drop on by the Wood Pub in Marylebone this coming Monday to follow Apple's 2012 WWDC keynote. The London Mac User Group is hosting the get together, which begins at 17:45 (GMT) on June 11th. While there won't be a live feed of the keynote, the London MUG will have three projector screens hooked up with live streams covering the keynote from TUAW and other sites. The event officially runs until the end of the keynote (probably about 19:30 GMT), but we're sure a lot of people are going to stick around to discuss all the new products Apple is rumored to be unveiling on Monday. If you're not a member of the London Mac User Group there will be a £3 entrance fee to cover the costs, but those in attendance will be eligible to win a raffle prize: a 120 GB SSD hard drive. The Wood Pub is located at 21 Balcombe Street, Marylebone, NW1 6HE. The closest London Underground station is the Marylebone tube stop on the Bakerloo line.

    The London Mac User Group knows how to have fun when there are Apple events. According to Steve Naybour of the group, they'll once again be meeting at a pub (this time, the Wood Pub in Marylebone, London) and want any TUAW readers or Apple lovers in the area to drop in. LMUG will be featuring coverage starting at 1730 GMT, with three projector screens on which they'll display the news, video (if any), Twitter feeds, pictures, and liveblogs. Naybour invites "anyone from the site who happens to be in town, or any of your readers ... to come to the free event, grab a beer, a Thai curry and watch the details of the iPad 3." The official Facebook invitation can be found here along with a map to the pub. The group's resident artist Paul Kercal made a special poster to celebrate as seen at right, and even created a short video (below) showing his work as it was progressing. Enjoy the video, and let us know if you attend the get-together on Wednesday.
