Federalist Society Student Symposium 2008 - Me

The quick summary...

Friday was the initial gathering and two panels followed by a cocktail hour. The Friday panels were really quite good, but the cocktail hour was a cash bar (ouch), so I had one drink, schmoozed a little and then toddled back to the motel. The Saturday panels started off strong (and somewhat controversial), but then proceeded into somewhat dull forums later on. The banquet was excellent, and featured Justice Janice Rodgers Brown as the keynote speaker. She was awesome.

A post with somewhat more detail is likely later, but I'm still playing catch-up with the rest of the world today. Michigan was fun, as always. I went ice-fishing with my father-in-law: it was awesome.

How can sitting around a hole in the ICE be Awsome?
I don't get it is this a cultural thing I'm missing here?
Explain please.

Seriously, the part of any fishing when you are just sitting around is pretty dull. No, the fun part is catching the fish, mocking them, and throwing them back in the hole.

Really, though, I think I was sold with the ice auger. That thing is badass.

I saw quite a few guys from Rutgers there, but I didn't get a chance to talk with them. It really was a blast, and I heard a rumor that it might be a LOT closer next year (Yale).

You look great! And we're so glad your doing well. Smooches from me & the girl, the man sends thumps. *grin*

I'm with Osgkar on the ice fishing tho'. Thinking about it makes me want to put on another pair of socks.

Keep rocking the law world baby. We may not agree on everything, but you got that gun toting-kill 'em all edge I love. Serious, I think the legal profession is getting a good deal here. Add Parse and damn, it's getting spoiled!

Liners and two pair of heavy wool socks seemed to do it. Frankly, it was probably quite a bit warmer overall than duck hunting was, because there was more moving around.
