Super excited for tonight’s celebration of our Sixth Annual Porcupine Day! I posted this on Facebook on the actual “official” day on 2/3:
Happy “official” Porcupine Day! While our celebration party is Saturday evening, today, six years ago, we Triggered the Move and called thousands of libertarians home to the Free State. (And “triggered” the enemies of liberty in NH. lol) Getting 20K signers was the culmination of a ton of work by a bunch of incredible people, all of whom should be proud of their efforts! On a personal note, it is hard for me to watch the press conference video because I can see how unwell and out-of-balance I was. Suffice to say, herding libertarian cats is a special skill, and I wasn’t fully equipped back then to deal with all the stresses, which meant I developed a pretty nifty drinking problem. But, I knew something was wrong, and I set out to change. And I did. So Porcupine Day is bittersweet for me. An end, a start, and a continued lifelong journey where only I, first, am captain, for me, but I am truly grateful for all who sail beside me! Cheers!
