Geeklawyer will attempt to set the venue for Lawblog 2008 tomorrow. The anticipated date is the 15th September; the earliest day Geeklawyer and several others can make it. Emails will be sent to all and sundry in due course but please leave comments on the date: it can be later (Friday 19th is out though) but not earlier. Please circulate this post to anyone you believe may be interested.
This year’s event will be informal & in a private room above a Central London pub, in part because the pressure of destroying other peoples lives and businesses has robbed Geeklawyer of the time needed to organise a proper conference; and in part because the UK legal blogging scene is a little slower this year so that there is some uncertainty about attendance levels. Quality counts over quantity & so as long as Geeklawyer is there all will be fine.
Unlike last year the informality will make it OK for non-lawyers to attend. Geeklawyer hopes Mary, Miss Robinson and one or two others will attend. Hopefully Dan Hull will attend but the holding of breath in anticipation would be ill advised.
Bad behaviour will be mandatory optional.
I appear to be free on that date - the choice of venue, I am sure, will be entirely suitable. Is dress optional?
Please check if the venue serves Rioja - most do - but, if not, I’ll follow H M Chief medical Officer advice and get lashed up in advance with the stuff and drink whatever red is on offer upon arrival.
If you wish to wear a dress that is entirely a matter for you. I shall dress for huntin’ n fishin’.
OK… I shall come as Cruella de Ville… very ClassA
15th is fine by me. oh didn’t i tell you i was going to crash? i will bring a nanotube radio and a personal message from lord bingham.
hmm I’m arriving on September 14th. Does this mean I cannot spend time with you Mistress Geekie?
What about lawyers who blog but not about law?
What… you mean like Geeklawyer, Charon, Ruthie…. and most UK Law bloggers !
Excellent… the very idea that a UK Blawger should write about LAW…. almost surreal
Apologies to those who do - but even they can’t resist going off-piste… to be encouraged.
you mean the phrase ‘rot in hell you piece of dogshit’ isn’t in the white book? and i had got nearly the whole way through as well - bugger!
I’m sure it is - read it again, more closely.
A Monday? A Monday! There goes the debauchery. Still, should be able to make it, trial scheduling permitting.
err is it norman french (pardon my anglo-saxon)?
I shall grace you all with my presence
