Doors open at 7:00pm for a meet-and-greet with the EFF's Executive Director, Cindy Cohn. We'll have beer and snacks and discuss the burning issues of the day, such as who supports reclassifying ISPs as common carriers the hardest. The meet-and-greet will be co-hosted by:

Harper Reed

*
Brian Fitzpatrick

At 8:00pm we've asked our favorite underground comedians in Chicago to join us for an incredible, one-night-only show, including standup, stories, improv, and sketch from:

*
Rabbit Rabbit (Chicago Sketchfest)

*
The Blue Angels (iO)

*
Mike Gifford (Your Stories)

If this show doesn't make you laugh, you are dead inside. But the EFF will defend your right to complain about it online afterwards.
