Here are the details for the alternative event (yes, there's a $100
donation, but the drinks are free, so subtract what you'd normally spend
on drinks at Blur when deciding whether to attend the meet-and-greet
with Cato's David Boaz).

bar. It's Mark Johnson's loft in SoMa at Fourth and Folsom. Three
words explain the name: Leopard. Print. Toaster.
