Dome Sweet Dome

It looks like they might, finally, have found a practical use for the Millennium Dome: the gargantuan white elephant is to be used as accommodation for the European Social Forum. This was reported in today's Guardian and now appears to be official (I, for one, have been emailed about it by those involved in organising the event). The structure will apparently be home for three nights to some 5,000 people at a cost of £10 each. Anyone coming to the ESF who's interested in taking advantage of this once in a millennium (!) opportunity should get in soon. Details on the ESF website.
