According to Facebook and the American University events calendar, LRC's own Tom Woods will be speaking tomorrow night at AU in Washington, DC. If you're in the area and haven't had the fortune to hear Tom Woods live before, I highly recommend checking him out. His analysis of the current economic crisis using Austrian Economics is very sound, and I'm sure he'll be elaborating on this.

Parking at AU is free after 5 pm including the parking structures and Nebraska Ave parking lot. A free shuttle from the Tenleytown Metro station runs regularly to campus. Here are the details from the Facebook announcement:

UPDATE: This event has been canceled.

This event is open to everyone: IF you have friends with libertarian leanings who aren't yet convinced, this will be an excellent opportunity for them to hear libertarian arguments from a prominent thinker/communicator in the liberty movement.

See you there!
