Attn, Chicago Dwellers: Nick Gillespie & Matt Welch in Town Tomorrow, 8/16, for Two Events!
Matt Welch and I will be appearing at two venues in Chicago tomorrow, Tuesday, August 16, one at lunch and another in the evening.
We're in town to discuss our new book, The Declaration of Independents: How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What's Wrong With America, which has been named the summer read of 2011 by George Will (compared to Ludwig von Mises' Human Action anyway), "a rollicking tale" (Barron's), "a remarkably uplifting book" (Three Sources), and "a cheerful dismissal of tribalism and monopolistic thinking, in life and in politics" (Forbes).
First up is a lunch event at the University Club of Chicago at noon CT:
Tuesday, August 16th - 12:00 pm
The University Club of Chicago
Join co-authors and editors of Reason TV and Reason magazine, Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch, for a luncheon on their new book, The Declaration of Independents. It is a compelling and extremely entertaining manifesto on behalf of a system better suited to the future - one structured by the libertarian principles of free minds and free markets.
The price for club member is $15 (plus tax and grauity) by August 15 and $18 after August 15. The price is $25 for non members via the Book Stall in Winnetka, Illinois.
Please call 847-446-8880 to make a reservation to this event.
Then there's a happy hour sponsored by the Heartland Institute:
Tuesday, August 16: 5.30pm to 7.30 pm
Pizza and Drinks with Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch
Jak's Tap
901 W. Jackson
Chicago, Illinois
The price for the event is $25. Registration does not include a copy of the book, which will be available for $26 at the event.
To register for the Heartland Institute Happy Hour, go here.
We'll be signing books at both events and hope to see all interested residents of the city that Reason rated as "the most meddlesome metropolis" in America at one or both events!
Here's Matt and me being interviewed at San Francisco's Commonwealth Club on July 25. Scroll forward to the 1.05 mark to learn our 60-second ideas to "change the world." The answers may surprise you.

Hey Nick & Matt, we enjoyed your presentation in Oxford. Also had a great time talking with you (mostly with Matt) at the backyard BBQ in Nick's back yard. And I'm not just saying this because of the free beer.
I understand that sometime H&R commenter David E. Gallaher and some of his friends were able to attend the Cincy deal. He reported that The Jacket was not in attendance (Nick was, in a creepy black shirt), and Davis E. was unable therefore to touch The Jacket and verify its healing powers.
However, he did say a good time was had by all.
Wish I could have been there - enjoy your special day, Chicagoganders!
$25 ticket,
$26 book,
For that kind of money,
I'd better get a BJ.
While Nick looks on, amazed, Matt threatens to claw out the eyes of the next interviewer who asks him if it's true that French doctors are better than American MDs.
Okay guys, so who's going? Does it violate libertarianism to ask whether I should go?
I am unresponsive.
I'm going.
Welch looks like he's doing his, "death awaits with great sharp pointy teeth" Tim the Enchanter impression.
we enjoyed your demonstration in Oxford. Also experienced an ideal time speaking with you (mostly with Matt) on the backyard BBQ in Nick's back again yard. And I'm not just saying this because of the simple fact within of the definitely free beer.

Damn, my comment got modified (translated & then translated back?) and turned into two spam posts for Nike Free shoes. Does Nike's Chinese overlords force them to do this? I do like the "zero marketing price beer" phrase.
