Happy Hour at Reason's DC HQ with Virginia Postrel and FIRE, Tuesday, 1/28!
Please join us to meet columnist and author Virginia Postrel, who will sign copies of her new book, The Power of Glamour: Longing and the Art of Visual Persuasion. Postrel is a regular columnist for Bloomberg View as well as a former Reason editor in chief and a current FIRE board member. She's been called "a master D.J. who sequences the latest riffs from the hard sciences, the social sciences, business, and technology, to name only a few sources." Copies of her book will be available for purchase.
We're also giving the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) a big "Welcome to DC!" shout-out as they set up their first-ever satellite office in the district. Come out, enjoy some food and drinks, and join in the fun!

Yeah, I highly doubt she wants a bunch of H&R people showing up.
H&R people were always welcome back when Postrel was running the... oh.
Some businesses learn early if you call customers cretins, they might just turn around and say 'screw you.'
Others don't learn so quick.

Hey, we'll have our party in the basement! Lock & load! (The lock the door and drink all the beer in 1 hour lock & load, not the rack your firearm lock & load...)
