He\u2019ll then post all the happy panda snaps on his facebook page. If you have your  photo taken, come and be friends with Kevin and then tag yourself on Facebook at  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KevinandSueLoveBamboo\" target=\"_blank\">www.facebook.com\/KevinandSueLoveBamboo<\/a> and one lucky person  will win an ASUS Bamboo laptop*.<\/p>\n<p>Sue, on the other hand, is a  big video fan and wants a fun record of her London visit.\u00a0 She has decided that  she wants to earn some ASUS brownie points and is going to show off not only the  Bamboo laptops but also ASUS\u2019 SonicMaster series of laptops.\u00a0 Everyone who is  captured on film during the course of the day will be in with the chance of  winning an N53 laptop. The winner will be the person whose video gets the most  views.\u00a0 All videos will be uploaded to <a href=\"http:\/\/techinstyle.tv\/category\/video\/events\/discover-asus\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/techinstyle.tv\/category\/video\/events\/discover-asus<\/a> so  pop over and see Sue chatting with you and remember to share with friends and  family*.<\/p>\n<p>And if you want to become a  friend of Kevin\u2019s or Sue\u2019s and even get some tips on just where they might be  appearing in Central London this weekend,\u00a0 ask them very nicely if they would  like to be friends with you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KevinLovesBamboo\" target=\"_blank\">www.facebook.com\/KevinLovesBamboo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SueLovesBamboo\" target=\"_blank\">www.facebook.com\/SueLovesBamboo<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>ASUS U33 Bamboo Series:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ASUS U33 Bamboo Series is  an inspiration and a step towards green living.\u00a0 Bamboo is not only the  preferred food of Kevin and Sue (a different bamboo to the one that ASUS use!)  but is also an environmentally friendly and a sustainable material.
