=== Description ===

The Solano Stroll [[http://www.solanoavenueassn.org/strol.htm|event]] is a ~ mile long street fair held once a year in Berkeley California  on Solano Ave.  There are over 500 vendor and non-profit booths.  Attendees are ordinary folks from the Berkeley/SF-Bay area who may or may not have a technical background.  It is, thus, a good opportunity to advertise Ubuntu to a general audience.  
## These empty tables all over the place are to make sure that stuff that's floated to the right (i.e. pictures) stays in its section and doesn't overlap into the next one - Thanks for the code rww & Flannel
