It's BYOLI (Bring Your Own Leg Irons)

Kinda ironic that the WGA is holding its holiday party on December 7th at The Highlands located at the Hollywood & Highlands Center, scene of the recent rent-a-cop handcuffing of WGA activists. But the invitation notes that The Highlands is not owned by the Hollywood & Highlands Center. But you still have to go there. Ugh.
