We're not 'blacking out' today (but we still don't like SOPA)

Engadget NYC Reader Meetup tomorrow (with Joystiq ... and free stuff!)
Confession time: As much as we like meeting you guys at reader meetups, the real benefit to us is that, for a brief time, we can reclaim some control over our home offices. "Too much swag" might be considered an enviable problem but we don't see it that way. That's why we really need you to ...
