We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

NYC Geek Dinner II I am organising a NYC Geek Dinner on 23rd March as the last one was fun (at least for me!). The venue is the Sly Bar in SoHo.
This is what Gothamist has to say about it:
The blue lights above the outside door continue inside and flicker throughout the space – everyone looks good in this light, remember that. Our favorite part, though, might be the the back smoking patio, it’s a lovely view that often gets neglected being so far from the subways and it proves that not everyone in New York hates smokers.
Also, the blogosphere-famous Stormhoek wine will supply wine for the evening as part of their US launch and the meme 100 dinners, 100 conversations…
The festivities start at 7.30pm – all bloggers, geeks and Samizdata.net groupies are welcome. You can sign up here or email me at samizdata at gmail dot com.

Who Are We? 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.

I’ll be out of town that day. Bummer. 🙁
Re. the Stormhoek wine claim that “new zealand has the best tech for making white wine. but south africa has better grapes”. Sounds like a slogan concocted to convince the oenologically ignorant.
Interesting, I’ll be there!
Adriana, are you living in NYC now?
I’ll alert some of my libertarian friends there.
