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]

Interested in a New York Geek Dinner? Samizdata editor Adriana is going to be in New York and is looking for hook up with some of the Big Apple’s blognoscenti for a ‘geek dinner’ along the lines of previous successful geekfests.
Does that sound interesting to you? Well then take a look at this wiki which has just been set up and invite yourself!

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.

Definition of “geek” and “geek dinner”, please, for someone who doesn’t get around much, let alone as far as New York or even London.
I’ve followed the links; sounds fun, but long list of persons and things still doesn’t help.
Venue: someone’s house?
Then – who tidies up?
Whoever owns the restaurant?
Too bad she wasn’t coming to Dallas…
Next time, Adriana.
Oh, and at first I thought you said GREEK dinner, which made me think of our favorite in the world, Kolossi in Finsbury, London.
Ditto.
Still waiting for a definition before this falls off the blog.
But perhaps it’s known only to adepts and initiates with the hoi polloi kept out.
I don’t know either, but gosh it’s refreshing to see hoi polloi used correctly.
Or very near… 🙂
guy herbert – doh!
