Seattle Law Blogger Meetup Recap

By Michael Atkins

Last night was the long-awaited Seattle Law Blogger Meetup at my firm, Graham & Dunn. We had a nice turnout — 15 law bloggers and five “aspiring” law bloggers. We had a spirited two-hour discussion, and about half hung around for another hour, so we must have been having fun. I know I was.

My only frustration was a good one — there was so much to talk about, with so many great people, and we had so little time. In the end, we agreed to make gatherings like this a regular event. Once a year probably isn’t enough.

Award for longest distance traveled goes out to Larry Munn and Jeffrey Vicq from the Canadian Trademark Blog, who came all the way from Vancouver, BC.

Several attendees have already posted summaries of the event, so I’ll leave further recapping to them:

• Avvo’s Avvo Blog post here;
• Rod Stephens’ Employment Advisory Blog post here; and
• Venkat Balasubramani’s Spam Notes post here.

Thanks to everyone who attended! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again soon!!
