Attn, Chicago: Reason Happy Hour, Debate on Net Neutrality with Nick Gillespie, 4/16-17
Come out and meet Reason's editor at large in the City of Big Shoulders.

I'm excited to announce that I will be in Chicago for two great events on Monday, April 16 and Tuesday, April 17. Please come on out!
First up:
Reason Happy Hour
Monday, April 16 between 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
The Franklin Room, 675 N. Franklin St. (River North)
Come say hello, have a drink (it's "Wine Down Monday," with bottles of wine half off!), and meet up with some area readers of Reason.
Guests pay for their own drinks and the event is open to the public.

The second event is a televised and livestreamed debate organized by Intelligence Squared and Northwestern University.
Net Neutrality Debate
Tuesday, April 17th 2018 between 7:30 - 09:00 p.m.
Thorne Auditorium, 375 E Chicago Ave
Reserve Tickets (free but a contribution is appreciated)
On Tuesday, April 17th, Intelligence Squared U.S. is partnering with the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law to debate the future of the net. Defending net neutrality will be Pai's predecessor Tom Wheeler – the FCC chairman who enacted these regulations – and the executive chairwoman of Mozilla Mitchell Baker. Arguing against them will be Reason Editor at Large Nick Gillespie and former FCC chief economist Michael Katz.
The debate is Oxford style, meaning the audience votes on its positions before and after the debate and the winning team is the one that moves more people to its side. The debate will be livestreamed and the online audience can vote on the outcome. Go here for details.

This is pretty neat. I'll see you there
Good luck Nick!
Please record the entire event because sooner or later some lefty group will try and ruin one of these Libertarian events.
Libertarians are the enemy to the lefty big Nanny State plan.
...among lefties.
And among Libertarians.
Yeah, but let's be serious, no libertarian or conservative is going to shutdown their event. And no lefty is going to shut down this event either. They would shutdown the speech of some libertarians, but not the milquetoast neoliberal variety.
More to the point, Net Neutrality is soo six news cycles ago. The #Resistance has long since moved on to newer, shinier objects.
On a college campus I'm not so sure of this.
I said "try"....
The Jacket will just reveal his pink w/BLM stripes cosmo card and all is forgiven.
Besides common sense gun safety, net neutrality is the issue on which I most disagree with Reason's position. I recommend this piece from December: The FCC's Net Neutrality Vote Is About To Silence Anyone Who's Not A Rich White Man. Hopefully one of the debaters will stress the intersectional implications of this disastrous policy change. Marginalized groups are already suffering enough under Drumpf's regime; the last thing we want to do is to remove their voices from the Internet.

You say that as if you think that's a bad thing...
