Stay Awake for the Brownouts


Years ago, I would actually listen to lectures by economists on how the electric grid might function better.

The Sam Adams Alliance's FreedomPalooza only happens once a month, and it's happening in the Loop this Thursday. Why miss it?

When people see the name of our group, they often ask if we have any relation to the beer company. We are legally obligated to inform them that we're not, but are then happy to let them know that we do enjoy hosting get-togethers where beer is served. (Sam Adams happens to be our favorite.)

FreedomPalooza- April 2007 1Our monthly FreedomPalooza is open to anyone who wants to join Sam Adams Alliance staff and friends for an hour or two of fun after-work socializing, and is being held this Thursday at Coogan's on Wacker Drive in Chicago's Loop. Past FreedomPaloozas have seen the distribution of many a complementary Sam Adams bobblehead, so come this time if only to add one to your collection.

FreedomPalooza is a good chance for you to get to know others in the movement to restore accountable and transparent government nationwide, as well as a fun way to unwind after a hard day's work.

So join us between 5:30 and 7:30 PM this Thursday for FreedomPalooza! If you can't make it to this week's event, be sure to check our Events page regularly to see when the next FreedomPalooza will be happening.
