Greetings,
I have received a two year appointment at Trinity College in Hartford Connecticut. I might come back to San Jose State after that time, but we will see.
I am moving July 31, but I will be out of town every weekend from May 10 to July 19 (I am going to be a visiting professor and lecturing in Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, and Sweden).
Our last Saturday Night Anarchy Club will be Saturday May 3.
I will be speaking about the Radical Libertarian Political Economy of 19th Century Preacher David Lipscomb.
The wine theme of the night will be Chardonnay, but for you red wine drinkers feel free to bring something else.
It has been great getting to know all of you. I will miss California and everyone I have interacted with greatly.
Best regards,
Ed

SNAC was founded in 2002 by economists Daniel Klein and Edward Stringham. The list of speakers can be viewed here:
www.sjsu.edu/stringham/ snac
Character of the meeting: In the words of Dan Klein: The 90-minute seminar is a hearing of serious intellectual enterprise. It is an academic seminar without the academy. The conventional format is for the speaker to deliver a presentation of 45-50 minutes and then open to discussion. Speakers are encouraged to bring overhead transparencies for our overhead projector or distribute follow-along handouts.
Location:
The meetings take place at Paseo Plaza Condominium Complex at 144 S. 3rd St in Downtown San Jose. The Paseo Plaza is directly directly across the street from the San Jose Repetory Theater (and on the other side of the Paseo Plaza is the San Jose State Library) so there are many lots with free parking. If you cannot find a spot in the outdoor lot directly accross the street (next to the Repetory Theater) there is a parking garage on San Carlos between Third and Second and another one on Fourth and San Fernando directly accross the street from the San Jose State Library.
You will ned to use the main entrance of the building on 144 S 3rd St (across from the San Jose Repetory Theater), where you will be able to see the clubroom inside the glass doors just past the elevators. We will have someone checking to let people in so please be patient or call my cell phone at 408-644-5223.
Cost of Admission: Feel free to bring a bottle of wine (The purpose of this make the even fun, like a wine tasting. Please: No White Zinfandel!). If anyone wants to bring cheese that would be great too.
If you would like to be removed from this announcement list please let me know.
