Barney the Dinosaur versus Wesley Crusher Power Hour, an EFF benefit

Cory Doctorow 6:29 pm Wed Aug 14, 2002

Next Thursday, the EFF is throwing an all-night bash at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco. DJs will spin, booze will be consumed, life will be good, and…

…Wil Wheaton (blogger, Star Trek scapegoat) will climb into the ring for a celebrity boxing match against Barney the Purple Dinosaur (frequent Cease-and-Desist intimidator and parental annoyance). I'll be calling the match, and writer/comedian/fellow Canadian Heather Gold will be refereeing. It's gonna kick all the azz that there is.

See you there!
