My name is Joe Meade. I have been a member of the FSP since early 2003 and was one of the people who voted to make New Hampshire the choice for the Free State, but this will be my first time at the festival. (In fact this will be my 1st time in NH, since looking at colleges there almost 20 years ago; I wound up going to Villanova which is much closer to where I grew up & where I live now).
I have a friend who's going for the first time, also. I don't want o post his name w/o permission, but I will introduce him to people who meet me when I get there. He is not an FSPer (at least not yet!) bu he is a Libertarian & very sympathetic to the FSP.
