Alcohol Liberation Front 5: Free the Jefferson 1

If you live in the D.C. area, meet the J-1 (and most, if not all, of the fine authors on this site) at the Tech Liberation Front’s Alcohol Liberation Front Monday:

Alcohol Liberation Front 5 is happening Monday, April 21, at the Science Club, 1136 19th Street, NW, Washington D.C.

As if the excitement of hanging around with the TLF bloggers weren’t enough, we’re making the event a fundraiser for our friend (and former co-blogger), Brooke Oberwetter. Brooke was arrested at the Jefferson Memorial the other night - for dancing. Or perhaps for asking why dancing wasn’t allowed.

She needs funds to pay for legal fees, and you need an excuse to drink. It’s a match made in heaven!

Many thanks to Jim Harper, Tim Lee & co. for making this happen!

And no, she will not be able to answer specific questions about the case. (That especially applies to you, media.) Sorry. Blame her lawyer.

If you can’t make it to the event, you can still give today!

Hey guys -

I don’t know what’s really going on, only what you have posted here. Make sure you brush up on your federal and DC area ‘disorderly conduct laws’ - should help a bundle. If you were *peacefully* and *quietly* DANCING .. that would fall under the First Amendment Free Speech and Free Expression. DC and Federal monument and park laws are probably a good thing to look into, as well as documented court cases. If it as peaceful as the videos looked that division - I believe- had better get their hip waders out.

Good Luck.
