Hey DC! There's gonna be a *very special* invite-only book party for "Chokepoint Capitalism" on Nov 17; it's going to be a gathering of a lot of DC trustbuster types and while it's not *technically* a public event, there are a limited number of free spaces that the organizers have asked me to distribute on a first come/first serve basis. If you'd like to come and you're free on the night of the 17th, please let me know (email doctorow@craphound.com) and I'll get you an invite!
