AFF Underground tomorrow...
The DC Independent Film Festival is going on until March 11. AFF Underground will attend the March 6 "Comedy Central" set starting at 8:45pm up at the University of D.C. RSVP to Joanna at joanna@americasfuture.org and she'll email the attendees more details. If ten or more people come, tickets are $6, otherwise they're $11 each. Information on the festival is at http://www.dciff.org.

Also, on Thursday, March 22, AFF Underground will be at the Studio Theater (Logan Circle) for the performance of The Pillowman, a play that "explores family secrets, censorship and the irrepressible power of storytelling." AFF has 15 tickets, $35 for members and $38 for nonmembers. RSVP to Joanna - there are still a few slots left.

Inflation roundtable next week...
On Tuesday, March 13, AFF will host the roundtable "It’s All About the Benjamins, Baby: The Great Inflation Debate." Last November one of few positives Republican candidates could point to was a strong economy. But how strong is it? Is the U.S. economy booming or ridden with hidden inflation? America’s Future Foundation is set to tackle the great macroeconomic debate within the supply-side movement: monetary policy. What is the best indicator of inflation? How can the Fed bet fight off inflation? How does the spot price of gold fit into the equation? Find out on March 13th at an America’s Future Foundation roundtable discussion on the future of monetary policy in the United States.

Joining us to discuss these issues is John Tamny, editor of RealClearMarkets. Sean Rushton, Director of Communications for the Small Business Administration will moderate the event. Stay tuned for more panelists.

The event will take place at the Fund for American Studies, 1706 New Hampshire Avenue, NW, near Dupont Circle. Drinks at 6:30; Roundtable begins at 7:00. Roundtables are free for members, $5 for non-members. So join today! Please RSVP to Kathleen O’Hearn at kathleen@americasfuture.org.

Asteroids and Ann Coulter...
In Brainwash this week, Joanne McNeil sees that the sky is falling and so are the IQs of asteroid alarmists. Also, John Tabin wonders whether Ann Coulter's performance at CPAC will have conservatives seeking out therapy. And this week's Haiku Brew is ready for the drinking. Here's the topic for next week's Haiku Brew: Ann Coulter in therapy.

Brainwash is AFF's online webzine, with a mission to provide the youngest, freshest perspectives to the public, regardless of experience. Feel like contributing to Brainwash? Send a pitch to jp@americasfuture.org.

New Feature: Brainwash is starting a feature called "Field Notes," in which AFF members report on events around Washington, DC, such as symposiums, lectures, and hearings. Attended an event worth Noting? Send it to jp@americasfuture.org.
