EFF’s 18th birthday party in SF tomorrow

If you’re in San Francisco for Macworld or otherwise hanging out in the area, EFF is throwing a party at DNA Lounge [map] from 8pm to late on Wednesday, January 6, 2009. We’re asking for a $25 donation at the door; it gets you a kick-ass party and more freedom. Also, you’ll be hearing world-class DJs all night — the venerable DJ Spooky is headlining, the Bootie DJs are spinning that night, Kid Kameleon will be hot behind the decks… You might also catch me and my fellow EFF staffer Tones playing some tunes.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is one of the best organizations focused on defending people’s digital rights — and we know how to throw a great party! Join us!

EFF’s Birthday Party in San Francisco

My venerable employer, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, is turning 17 this year! If you’re going to be in San Francisco on Tuesday, January 15, (for Macworld, perhaps?) please come and hit up our party at 111 Minna Gallery (google maps). There will be a wicked DJ set by mashup pioneers Adrian & the Mysterious D, and I’ll be on the decks for portions of the evening as well. Check out the event page or the upcoming.org event posting for more information. Also, don’t forget to RSVP!

Join EFF in celebrating our 17th year of defending digital rights! Since 1990, EFF has been there fighting for freedom and civil liberties.

The birthday bash will be on January 15, 7-11 PM, at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. Headliners Adrian & the Mysterious D (A+D), the DJ duo that founded the seminal mashup party “Bootie,” will be dropping a shameless, genre-smashing blend of tracks, backed up by DJ sets from Bay Area copyfighters Ripley, Kid Kameleon and EFF’s own J Tones and Qubitsu.

The EFF party will also feature an exclusive chocolate sampling with TCHO, “a new chocolate company for a new generation of chocolate enthusiasts.” Founded by Wired co-founder Louis Rossetto and legendary chocolatier Timothy Childs, himself a former technologist, TCHO will be bringing a “beta release” of its best dark chocolate to the party table. Attendees are invited to vote for their favorite TCHO beta chocolate flavors at the party — feedback that will help define TCHO’s next steps as they gear up for a national release.

We’ll be asking for a $20 donation at the door. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, but all proceeds will go toward our work defending your digital freedom.
