One of the great things about Libertyfest-regardless of its faults-is that it brings together people who are willing to disagree with each other over substantive issues of political philosophy.

The disembodied, suspended rock face you see above is probably the only redeeming feature of Work in Progress, the dreadful night club where Libertyfest was held.

Update: The full live-tweet-all eight hours of wild libertarian action-is up on my Twitter account. Although I’m sure my libertarian readers are already aware of this, the third annual Liberty Fest will be held in SoHo at Work In Progress this Saturday.

One of the great organizations helping to feed the hungry in New York is City Harvest. Later today it will be the beneficiary of New York’s Biggest Pizza Party, as pizzerias from across the city, including my personal favorite, Di Fara, offer up delicious slices at St. Anthony’s Church.
