Bay Area FIRE fans have reason to celebrate this week, as there will be three FIRE events in their neighborhood! First up, FIRE President Greg Lukianoff will be speaking about his book, Unlearning Liberty, on Wednesday at Stanford Law School. Then on Thursday, Greg will give another Unlearning Liberty talk at the University of California Hastings College of the Law. Finally, Thursday evening, FIRE and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) will be co-hosting a happy hour at South End Grill 'n' Bar. Noted author and FIRE Board of Directors member Virginia Postrel, as well as Greg and EFF staffers, will be in attendance to discuss the issues—accompanied by free food and drink while it lasts!
