Though many didn’t think it possible – and even more didn’t notice – the TechLiberationFront team outdid itself yet again at last night’s Alcohol Liberation Front event. The room was buzzing with excitement as the brightest tech policy lights on the . . . um . . . first floor of the Science Club gathered to imbibe and share their latest thinking on . . . um . . . stuff.
More than a few people were trying to place estimates on attendance. It was clear that the number of TLF fans – dare we call them “groupies”? – had at least doubled compared to prior events, possibly tripled, and maybe even quadrupled. Let’s just say TLF begoogled its prior showings. Because that doesn’t really mean anything, but it sounds awfully impressive and kind of techie too.
Joining in the fun – or at least aware of our presence (some of them) – was the D.C. Mobile Monday chapter. D.C. MM had hosted drinks on the second floor which almost made it worthwhile to hear a presentation from Working Assets on how they used text messaging in the last election cycle.
The event ended consistent with the old line, “You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.” Some people’s wives were out of town. Others are just red-blooded Americans. You see, Science Club is not far from some fine dining establishments . . . .
The Technology Liberation Front is the tech policy blog dedicated to keeping politicians' hands off the 'net and everything else related to technology.
