Why: Because we can. We Are the Illuminati!
Just look for the pirate flag.

Except it sounds like you're back already. Tsk, tsk. Good parties last until someone throws up a kidney, which takes at least a week of binge drinking.Nikki wrote:BTW: I believe the bar tab for the OFFICIAL party exceeded the annual income of most TPs by at least one order of magnitude -- and no one was doing 'girly' drinks -- unless you count a splash of water in the Bourbon as girly.
They acknowledged but you were on the wrong side (Morgan v. Goldman).Nikki wrote:Besides, the bar (last time we'll be there) refused to aknowledge the Illuminati credentials and wouldn't give us enough space to spread out comfortably.
While making my way to one of the presentations at the Spring Symposia in Philly I passed the table featuring ABA books for sale. Dan's book was right in front of all of others. I even took a picture on my cell phone but I'm not sure how to post it.LPC wrote:It was incredibly disappointing. Harvester never showed up, and no one brought any interns, so all the charcoal briquettes went to waste.
Shocking. The very same troll who can't provide a single cite to support his incessant BS was a no-show after blustering about how he would be there, no-tax shirt and all.LPC wrote:Harvester never showed up
Nothing he says should ever be taken seriously until he explains to the satisfaction of all "why" he said he'd be there but didn't show. And, if he persists in not offering a valid explanation, moderate his posts until he does. Otherwise, stop feeding the troll!. wrote:Shocking.

Very Hendrickson-like. How embarrassing.

WIth respect, I suggest future such meetings be in a place (1) considerably quieter - my hearing is not what it used to be and I missed about half of what was being said, and (2) more congenial to extended seating - I could suggest a few places in the DC area.
Harvester didn't get anyone to take donations for him to show, unlike Pete going to the TV show. I would love to have seen Stossel take Peter apart,,,something like "SO, you've been convicted 2 times?....You've sold how many books to people are are now tens of thousands of dollars lighter for having read it? You couldn't even muster up a plane ticket to be here, you had to take doantions?" patheticLPC wrote:It was incredibly disappointing.

What makes you think anyone wants a large crowd?Number Six wrote:To get a large crowd you need a speaker like Paul Krugman or Christopher Hitchens. You need a sensational, attention-grabbing title for the event such as, "The rule of law in the age of anarchy, rebellion, and terrorism". You need a world class meeting place, too. A five star hotel, like Cato does. You also need to charge big money. No one ever appreciates an event unless they have to pay, plus it keeps out the riff-raff. A debate would be interesting as a draw for the crowd, too.
Did you take any pix of the lady screaming in the manhole?Imalawman wrote:This marks the end of my DC trip. It was a rousing success. I saw a woman fall into a manhole (no, really, the cover gave way and she want right in and starting screaming). I saw a gay, black, male prostitute arrested at gun point and thrown to the ground in front of the portrait gallery. I then attended the quatloos gathering and had a blast engaging in nerdy tax conversation. SPECIAL THANKS TO DEMO WHO PICKED UP THE TAB!! I already have it in my schedule for next year.
