Attn, DC Reasonoids: Confound Laws of Biology, Economics on Wed. 9/28
Come listen to Reason's own Ronald Bailey (it's true, we won his genome in a poker game) explain why human beings should embrace the brave new world of human enhancement and biotechnology. And then get a free (to you, anyway) lunch, thus refuting biological refuseniks and economic scarcity-mongers in less than two hours.

Anyone who is interested in meeting up for alcohol-related socializations (alcohol not required, but preferred) on the weekend of October 15th in Washington DC, email me! My email address is real if you take out the "nospam." part. I have two evenings in mind for a get-together. Email me for details, even if you're only non-committedly interested at this point. We can decide between the two or so dates I have in mind, and then decide on a time/place.
Sorry for the threadjack.
