Attn, DC! Celebrate Freedom Day Tomorrow with Reason!
If you're in Washington, D.C. and care about libertarianism, freedom, liberty, and conviviality come on out to this:
Every year, the National Constitution Center sponsors this unofficial holiday to "bring together the top liberal, libertarian and conservative thought leaders in America for a national conversation about the future of freedom." This year's theme is an exploration of how Americans' freedoms of speech and expression are exercised, threatened, and protected.
We'll honor the day with some brief remarks by Reason.com Editor-in-Chief Nick Gillespie and an open bar.
When: Wednesday, April 13th from 6:00 PM—8:00 PM
Where: Reason's DC Headquarters
1747 Connecticut Avenue NW
(Metro: Dupont Circle, Q St. exit)All are welcome but RSVP is required. Please contact Jordan King (jordan.king@reason.com) by 7 P.M. on April 12th.
Below: Word cloud based on tweets by members of Congrees.

Open bar, eh?
I’ve been to a few of their Reason LA gatherings, they usually stock up on the good stuff. Last time they had a giant punch bowl of old fashioned, complete with cherries.
WTF is a ‘thought leader’?
Does it involve drinking kool-aid?
We used to call them bullshitters.

According to the National Day Calendar… Freedom Day is February 1st… which you ignored because you’re bloody racists, obviously…
and April 13th? Well its *taken already*
So, you’ll have to excuse me while i go make a Grilled Cheese Sandwich with a side of licorice and remember to tell this Nation’s Library Workers how much i appreciate them… like ANY REAL AMERICAN SHOULD
Clearly it wouldn’t be freedom day unless people were free to celebrate it on whatever day they wished.
ANARCHY!! next you’ll be suggesting people should just honor Grilled Cheeses on their own recognizance!
“…excuse me while i go make a Grilled Cheese Sandwich with a side of licorice…”
Monster.
Why do you hate America??
Let us be clear = Twizzlers are a communist plot to undermine this Nation’s licorice solidarity
Who the hell likes black licorice? Anyone.
That’s Licorice to you, you racist.
How about NY and CA
Rhode Island. Everyone hates Rhode Island.
I do. Dutch people do.
And people who refer to twisty chewy fruit candies as “red licorice” should be taken out and maimed.
Actual licorice has no color. I’m not sure how it ended up always being black.
This year’s theme is an exploration of how Americans’ freedoms of speech and expression are exercised, threatened, and protected.
Unlike every other year where the theme is an exploration of COCKTAIL OLIVES. Ya burnt.
That word cloud….reminds me of Queen Latifah’s guest spot on 30 Rock.
Nude hot tubbing?! That’s all I need to know about Freedom Day!

Oh, Joe.
One is the loneliest number.
It had to even pretend to be its own square and square root.
So sad.
C’mon Nick!
The proper caption for that photo is always “Hmmm, mighty strange place for a urinal”

Homophobe!
Notice how they always put these event announcements out at the last minute? It’s almost as if they don’t want the filthy rabble commentariat to show up. We’re the drunk uncle of the libertarian moment movement.
“We told all the commenters about it, but none of them showed up! Oh well, at least we tried.”
Given some of the things I’ve heard about various meet-ups, they might be doing this for a very good reason.
Yeah, the reason being the reason commentariat is the drunk uncle of libertarianism.
Notice how they always put these event announcements out at the last minute?
You may be on to something.
However, are there very many of our fellow commentators you would like to meet in person?
Are you going to talk about millennials?
I have it on good authority that absolutely no millennials will be poled at the DC Headquarters.
They’re poling the next generation now!
/Not saying they’re pedophiles; just that they love the young people
