> For SF Bay Area c'punks: There are only three days left to get special
> advance tickets for friends of EFF.  This year the EFF Fillmore
> benefit on June 18 stars Bob Weir's band Ratdog, which John Perry
> Barlow has been writing some new songs with.
>
> After Sunday, the tickets go on open sale through Bass; given the
> number of Deadheads in San Francisco, we expect them to sell out.  You
> could wait and save $15 -- but you might miss out.  And that $15 will
> support EFF, including the Bernstein case and our other crypto
> initiatives.  See http://www.eff.org/fillmore.
>
> See you there!!!  It won't quite be a cypherpunk meeting, but it'll
> definitely be a cypherpunk party!

> Dear Friends of the EFF,
>
> Here's a special, behind-the-scenes invitation to OFFLINE with the
> Electronic Frontier Foundation, its Third Annual Benefit Rock Concert at
> San Francisco's legendary Fillmore Auditorium.
>
> In Internet time, we believe three years officially qualifies EFF's
> Fillmore event as a Silicon Valley tradition!  Join us on Friday, June 18
> for a raucous night of partying with Bobby Weir and his band, Ratdog, plus
> the Flying Other Brothers Band, Woodside, and guests.  The event promises
> to be great fun and all proceeds will go to support the work of EFF in
> protecting free expression, privacy, and security online.
>
> For this week only, we are making available a block of general admission
> tickets for $50.  This being San Francisco and with Ratdog (not to mention,
> the FOBs and Woodside) on the program, the event is expected to sell out.
> Advance tickets are only available via EFF's Fillmore site at
> http://www.eff.org/fillmore.
>
> We look forward to seeing you there!
