Come to Free State Project's PorcFest with Nick Gillespie!

I'm excited to say that I'll be attending and speaking at this year's PorcFest, the annual celebration of the beautiful mad dreamers of the Free State Project up in New Hampshire.

Here's how the organizers talk about PorcFest:

The Porcupine Freedom Festival is the flagship annual event of the Free State Project. It is a week long celebration of liberty at Roger's Campground in Northern New Hampshire. Over 1,500 people are expected to attend this unique camping event which includes activities for all ages. Camp fires, panel discussions, presentations, movies, live talk shows, dancing, singing, music, food, parties, all around liberty-loving good times, and more are to be found at the most exciting liberty event of the year. PorcFest is a showcase of some of New Hampshire's finest in the scenic view of the White Mountains.

Check out the schedule here for a sense of the wide-ranging and sounds-great events, panels, discussions, and speakers (including the great Patrick Byrne of Overstock.com, who wrote a Ph.D. philosophy dissertation on Robert Nozick!).

PorcFest runs from June 22 through June 29 and a special discount on tickets runs ends on Saturday, May 31st.

So we've settled on New Hampshire? I really thought whatever state would have been taken over by now. They're not waiting on a space station or the moon, are they?

Couldn't they have picked somewhere warm? "Live Free and be Cold Seven Months a Year" sucks.

[Heroic Mulatto]

Eh, it's not so bad when you have someone to warm you up.

[JD the elder]

But this is why there are no female libertarians! Er, or something. Anyway, I predict over 1500 attendees and over 1490 beards on the attendees.

[Copernicus]

Don't clams have beards?

Ouch, sorry. First thing that popped into my head.

[Copernicus]

And besides, John Galt has invented this awesome electricity machine.

[Acosmist]

Only 7 months? I'd rather be cold all year.

Heat is awful.

Will there be pulled porc sandwiches?

[Heroic Mulatto]

If I see you there, I'll buy you a beer Gillespie.

The question on everyone's mind, but are too afraid to ask:

Has the free state project acquired permissions and the proper licenses from the relevant state agencies to hold this event?

[Christophe]

Last year there was a guy bragging about buying uninspected eggs and bacon (from local sources).

So they probably don't do a lot of permission-asking.

I'm going to have to attend this one of these years, but I am literally on the other side of the globe until July. Nick, give a report when it finished.
