Anarcho-capitalist meetup

News, Political ·Friday November 5, 2010 @ 22:47 EDT (link)

We attended our first meetup with the Seattle Anarcho-Capitalists, picking up a few other Microsofties too. We met Elliott at building 36 @ 1820, then drove to Bellevue to pick up Eric at a Microsoft building on 112th. Took longer than we expected to get there—traffic was bad. It was actually less bad going to Seattle; we parked in a lot near Jeremy (the host)'s apartment. Had a good time eating and drinking and socializing with the an-caps; met Matt, the intern at The Stranger who wrote Why The Stranger is Wrong About Everything on their blog ("the Slog"), and talked with him and various others for a while. Bitcoins were a frequent topic of conversation, thanks to Elliott. We headed out around 2200; Eric had gotten a ride to another Seattle venue with his girlfriend, and we took Elliott back to building 36 to pick up his car—and me mine. I was almost out of gas, so Honey followed me to the nearest gas station; we'd taken her car into Seattle since it was full and was a four-door.
