• The Vegas meetup moved to March 12, and will be a smaller event for 50 guests, with dinner served, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Future events to be announced only after the venue is committed and booked, with aims to hold meetups in different parts of the country every other month, or so. My apologies for the rescheduling.

Announcements

• Schedule for Barnes Brief: Monday, Wednesday and Friday, to be published 3x/week. When legal matters call, publication may be delayed. The structure will be top-10 headlines available to all, and for subscribers, a top-10 of curated, interesting article links, and a reasoned rant.
• Schedule for Bourbon w/ Barnes: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday at 9ish p.m. eastern time, except when in transit or in court. The average length will be 45 minutes, or so.
• Book Club & Box Office will be review videos rather than live shows, and Barnes Law School podcasts and publications will continue as well.
• Hush Hush coming this week: The Assassination of Huey Long & Who Are The Freemasons?
• Other Shows’ Schedule This Week: Wednesday with George Gammon & Thursday LIVE with the Duran at 1 p.m. eastern.
• 1^st VivaBarnes LIVE meetup: Sunday, February 26, 2023, Las Vegas, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., with location and tickets to be announced. The utility of this schedule is it allows people to drive in the same day and drive out if they live within 4 to 5 hours or so, and also allow people to fly in and fly out same day if that’s what they want to do. It also allows those who want to enjoy the location to actually enjoy the location with this midday schedule that frees up the evening before and the evening after. (Rekieta’s Vegas meet up is Sunday night from 8 to midnight.) Also, we likely won’t do a buffet, so folks can eat before/after the event as they wish in Vegas, but we may have some special snacks available. Doors open at 2 to meet and greet, live show from 3 to 5, and personal audience-only Q&A from 5 to 6. We will live-stream the Sunday show with guests Eric Hunley and Mark Groubert answering a live Q&A from the audience. Likely location will be a short drive from either the Strip or downtown Las Vegas, so hotels on the Strip, in downtown, or off-strip all suffice. A guide to Vegas hotels will be posted by me this week. Ticket costs will be priced to cover all costs of the event, make it a valuable event, and compensate for time. I anticipate 4 meetups each year in different parts of the country. I anticipate a ticket of $200/person with maximum tickets to be sold of 250 per event. I want each person to get the chance to have real interaction with fellow members of the board and Viva and I. Tickets to go on sale by end of this week.
