That's right. Ars Technica is throwing a pre-Keynote party on Monday of Macworld week, co-sponsored by our friends at Gizmodo. The event will have food and free drinks for an unspecified amount of time, so be sure to get there early if you want to hang out with the cool kids. There will be lots of free Ars schwag available, both just laying around and given away in a raffle, as well as giveaways from No Starch Press—copies of Inside the Machine by our very own Jon Stokes, Cult of Mac, and Cult of iPod included.
