Man, I'd be there for sure if I had a jacket. What a shame to miss out on something like this.

Hee hee, yes the temptation to turn up wearing a trully vile jacket and tie combination is strong. Dress codes are my pet hate. Well, one of several pet hates.

I had celebratory drinks in a bar at the top of the Hilton on Park Lane the other night. The dress code was 'smart casual'. I was amused to see the despairing looks on the staff's faces as I showed up looking like a dishevelled 1960's teacher. Luckily none of us much enjoyed paying 5.50 for a beer, so we left pretty soon. Good view though.

There used to be a bar in Shoreditch with a 'no suits' dress code, which always made me snigger. I don't think they actually enforced it though.

How much does this shindig cost to attend?

Atlantic: Admission is free.

Oh come off it. Go to the Oxfam shop, pay a fiver and get a jacket.

The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.

We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, 'Porcupines', Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.
