And introducing Reason After Dark

Join Drew Carey, Christopher Hitchens, Joel Kotkin, Burt Rutan, Nick Gillespie, Bob Poole, Adrian Moore, Jacob Sullum, David Nott and many others for an interactive weekend of ideas and fun.

How do policies based on freedom and choice make a city great? Where are those cities? Who's winning the War on Pleasure? What can Las Vegas teach the liberals and conservatives who fear and loathe it?

Enjoy Director John Stagliano's award-winning Fashionistas dance show, the spectacular Penn & Teller, poker, shopping, great food, cigars, innovative speakers, panel discussions, and more at Reason's Dynamic Cities Conference and Reason After Dark special events.

Also in attendance: the Elvis of Aerospace Burt Rutan, the Jerry Lee Lewis of blogging Matt Welch, and the Carl Perkins of whatever it is he does all day Tim Cavanaugh.

Comments

[Phillip Conti]

It just goes to show, even libertarians enjoy preaching to the choir.

[Jeff P.]

I'm picturing Nick in an Elvis costume...

[Matt]

Bonus question: Who makes the fourth member of the Million Dollar Quartet? Double points to they who can draw an articular analogy from this member to the inimitable Nick Gillespie.

[Ruthless]

Matt,
Is it Lester Flatt or Earl Scruggs? If not, I don't care.

[Matt]

Sorry, Ruthless. You may return to your musical insouciance.

[Joe Bonforte]

Can we pay extra and get a conference that has all the guests listed except Welch and Cavanaugh?

[wellillbe]

John Stagliano is still alive?

[Matt]

Only one guess as to my bonus question? Hint: Nick derives obvious aesthetic guidance from this member of the quartet. Specifically a preference for lack of color in outerwear.

[Ruthless]

Johnny Cash!
Now, what do I win...?

[Matt]

Well done Ruthless. Since you eschewed the analogy portion of the quiz and answered after the hint was given, you win the prize behind door #3! Exclusive naming rights to your male progeny for all of fiscal year 2006, to the name, Sue.

How do you Do?

[Ruthless]

Not complainin' mind you, but how 'bout just progeny for a prize? Neither 2005 nor 2006 are prime years, so, as thoreau knows, I'm screwed... or not.

By the way, the analogy portion of the quiz seemed too morbid for my sunny disposition.
