K.C. Late Night Zaniness, First Amendment Food Fest

They're back...

Field Marshall Michael Koretsky (Florida Atlantic University) and his First Amendment commandos held forth in K.C., and along the way converted many to the crusade.

The First Amendment Food Festival rocked the Marriott in the early hours with valuable lessons (and free food for always starving college students). Of course, anyone who opted to try and exercise a freedom was dealt with expeditiously (photo) by the the dictator's goons. Click here to see a slide show of the event.

And, the Cereal and Critiques and Costumery and Halloween held forth until the wee hours with late-night snacks (again for the always starving college crowd) and informal critiques from seasoned advisers. And, after two years of being dished out... this is becoming a serial cereal event and another extravaganza from Chairman Koretsky and his deep cover operatives.
