Attention Portland Area Reasoners: Brian Doherty and James Bovard at Freedom Seminars Saturday Nov. 10

I'll be appearing, along with occasional reason contributor and libertarian journalist and gadfly James Bovard (author of many great books, most recently Attention Deficit Democracy), at a Freedom Seminar tomorrow (Saturday Nov. 10) in the Portland, Oregon area.

"Freedom's Fate: Bearish or Bullish" is the name of the overall event. My two talks are "The Libertarian/Right-Wing Split" (at 9:30 a.m.) and "Why Studying the Libertarian Movement's History Made Me Optimistic About Its Future" (at 1:30 p.m.)

James Bovard's blog and his reason contributions.

My talks will draw from, wouldn't you know it, my recent book Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement, whose dedicated site is here.

Full information, address and agenda for the event at the Crowne Plaza Hotel at 14811 Kruse Oaks Blvd (technically in Lake Oswego OR) here. The cost is $45 at the door including lunch.

Can you give me the name of that book again? I missed it the first 1,000 times....

Brian,
I see your book is Amazon sales ranked at around 50K. Still in hardcover too I note. And here you are still beating the pavement, pimping it like it was your sister and the rent was due. You want to sell a few more copies? I'm telling you, you need a gimmick. This speaking engagement is a golden opportunity. (The likes of which are getting less and less frequent maybe?) Swallow your pride and give the lectures in drag. It's for your own good Brian. I tell you these things out of love.

Fred---Customer service is our middle name at reason. That's the widely-praised and excellent Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement.

WOOT WOOT! Big ups to the LO, man! That's my home town, homes!

Seriously, though, imagine the whitest lillywhite suburb you can imagine. Got it? No no, that's way too dark. Try again. There you go.

Damn it, Doherty -- it's impossible to stay mad at you. 🙂

[Fred]

And for the record, I own a copy.

Dammit Doherty, I got all excited when I saw Portland...then I saw Oregon.

Well, of course! I mean, what else would he have meant, Portland, Indiana? 😉
