Reason's Nick Gillespie will appear at Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey on Monday, April 25 at 1.45PM.
The talk is free and open to the public and will take place at BCC's Ciccone Theater.
Gillespie, co-author with Matt Welch of the forthcoming book The Declaration of Independents: How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What's Wrong with America, will speak about "The Libertarian Moment: Why The Future Belongs to Free Minds & Free Markets."

He also holds an M.A. in English with a concentration in creative writing from Temple University and a B.A. in English and Psychology from Rutgers University.

I'm only going if I can hold The Jacket while The Jacket Occupant is on stage.
The Jacket can only be removed by the Once and Future King. If you can actually take it off and hold it, then I'll be the first to bend my knee to your glorious new reign.

Do not follow Gillespie's example. I warn everyone to remain off the grid as long as possible. Electronically-stored personal information is a weapon they can use against, just like anthrax or biting commentary.
Ready for Stossel tonight, FoE?
I'm never not ready for Stossel. Except for those times he catches me by surprise.

What, Nick, you couldn't even get the gig at William Paterson University? How the mighty have fallen.
Ask him if they sent a limo or a Town Car.
Wow, didn't realize it was Dr The Jacket until now.

The most interesting Jacket in the World. Stay warm, my friends....
His eyes are so dreamy...
I thought Bergen Community College was in Parmistan, not Paramus. Hopefully the Leatherette Fog will do us proud.
I hope Mr. Gillespie mentions that Paramus is the home of some of the the country's strictest Sunday "blue laws."
One of the last remaining blue laws, actually non-religious Sunday Closing laws, in the United States that covers selling electronics, clothing and furniture is found in Bergen County, New Jersey.[29][30][31]
Bergen County, part of the New York metropolitan area, is home to the largest retail of any county in the nation, and home to four major malls. Due to strictly enforced laws, malls are closed on Sundays. Virtually everything is closed on Sundays except grocery stores, restaurants and movie theaters.
The town of Paramus in Bergen County, where three of the four major malls are located in, have even more restricted blue laws than the county itself, banning all type of work on Sundays except grocery stores and restaurants (outside malls).

Nice. I plan to attend.
