STL Spends Memorial Day Weekend in the "Other" Washington

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. My wife and I spent four days after INTA unwinding (and not blogging) in Washington, D.C.

Speaking of INTA, here are a few final thoughts:

  • There’s a lot of information and fun in the INTA Daily News dispatches. You needn’t have attended the annual meeting to make these reads worth checking out, from Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
  • I was psyched to see IPKat rate my firm’s space (site of “Meet the Bloggers V”) as INTA’s “Coolest Venue.” Here’s what Jeremy Phillips and friends had to say: “[I]t’s almost inconceivable that lawyers work in this lovely location, with its comfortably blazing log fire, the breathtaking views and the amusingly simple death-trap of highly polished pebbles, though rumour has it that those employed at Graham & Dunn are capable of doing so.” Thanks, guys! That’s quite an honor, er, honour.
  • Someone at “Meet the Bloggers V” mentioned that I look older in person than I do in my blog photo. Does trademark law really age a person that much? Here’s a current photo showing my older, wiser self.

Back to regular blogging schedule tomorrow!

Hi Michael,

The party got a mention in our INTA round-up feature too. Available here: http://www.worldtrademarkreview.com/daily/Detail.aspx?g=fb6c6880-da96-46c0-a0f8-69ce986cd078

Thanks!
