Buzz’s Big Gay Dance Party @ Porcfest 2014

This year’s Porcfest was fantastic! The Porcupine Freedom Festival is the yearly camping gathering put on in NH by the Free State Project. Here’s the first piece of media to hit the news about the event, via the Union Leader:

LANCASTER – The theme of the Free State Project’s 11th annual summer gathering in New Hampshire is “DIY: Do it Yourself,” as if most in the expected crowd of 1,500 for the final three days of the Porcupine Freedom Festival, or Porcfest XI, needed any urging in that direction. (more…)

AKPF #1: Festivial

groupphotoporcfestThis week’s stellar installment of the AKPF #1 series features footage captured during the annual Porcupine Freedom Festival, held between June 22-29 in Lancaster, New Hampshire. The gathering was noteworthy for the prolific use of alternative currency by attendees, where vendors readily accepted not only cryptocurrency, but also the elusive Obamacoin, which traded at both three for one dollar as well as the spot price of four per dollar. As usual, the event set a record for participants in attendance.

Civil Disobedience Panel + Dozens More Porcfest 2013 Videos

I was grateful to be asked to moderate the civil disobedience panel this year at Porcfest and so I chose as my panelists the heroic activists who have spent the most time behind bars, Ademo Freeman, Derrick J Freeman, Lauren Canario, and Jim Johnson. It was an excellent panel with some great audience questions. Thanks to Paul and Athena from Red Pill Productions for doing the video work.

Check out their YouTube channel for literally dozens of quality videos of various panels and speeches from Porcfest 2013! Here’s the C/D panel video:
