PorcFest 2011 has already been featured in TWO news releases (a podcast/article and a radio spot/article) by NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO! The kicker? FAIR (and even FAVORABLE) COVERAGE!

Early in the week PorcFest was visited by Robert from Planet Money on NPR. He was interested most in the economic aspect of PorcFest, specifically the voluntary trade, lack of government regulation, trading value for value (and shunning FRNs), etc.

In this installment of Spotlight I have a Q & A with Josh Noone of the Federal Crime. Check it out!

1. You have been involved with Free Staters in New Hampshire for a while now. I've seen you at Porcfest, Live Free or Die and Free Keene Fest. What are your impressions of the growth and changes you have seen within the liberty movement and specifically the activists in New Hampshire?

When I first heard about the FSP it was a real surprise to discover a lot of people with similar viewpoints on liberty. Each year the FSP and the greater community of people interested in liberty gets larger and more tighter knit. I’ve seen people come in and just go right to work for a cause they beleive in. The FSP has started something amazing. I’d love to see liberty in my liftime.

Arrested for dancing at the Jefferson Memorial? It would be funny if it wasn’t true.

"On Saturday, in defiance of an unconstitutional ban on dancing at public monuments, a silent flash mob erupted at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC. The move was to protest the decision by US District Judge John D. Bates to ban dancing at Washington’s monuments, stating that it wasn’t how Jefferson should be memorialized. In response to the flash mob, Park Police arrested the dance troupe, led by political activist Adam Kokesh, host of the syndicated radio-show “Adam vs.

State Free Wedding Ceremonies Available!

PorcFest 2011 will be offering state free wedding ceremonies of any type your heart may desire!

Of course, there will be the standard wedding for people in love that want to get married and have a celebration - state free. Having your wedding ceremony at PorcFest is the perfect way to do that!

For those that are already married that would like to renew their dedication to that commitment, there is also a vow renewal ceremony available. This provides a special opportunity for individuals to symbolize the fact that love brought you together, not the state.

You can also arrange for any unions and to be married for any duration. You can be married for the day, for PorcFest, or as long as you want. These can be just for fun or if you wish to represent a temporary arrangement. Some ceremonies are even used to mock the system. It's whatever you want it to be!

For PorcFest's Eyes Only! Silver Circle!

Sovereign Curtis — Tue, 31 May 2011 17:38:50 +0000

Our Rebels in Silver Circle are fierce, non-conformists, with vibrant personalities. Creating them for the film and comic book required inspiration from some of the top liberty activists and liberty enthusiasts. What better place to find these rebel-souls than at the Porcupine Freedom Festival AKA PorcFest?

Because of the Free State Project and help from many other community members PorcFest has become a successful event and also a breeding ground for our fans. This summer we will be celebrating their activism and loyalty to our project by sharing some top-secret footage that no one outside of the studio has seen. By the time PorcFest rolls around we will have full-length versions of the film, but important components like “extras” and facial movement still won’t be 100%. So no feature film for you all BUT, we will be perfecting a scene for PorcFest’ers. We want you all to get a taste of what to expect at the end of this summer. Your opinion means a lot to us.
