BARMAN

Remarkable Blogs

Two worth adding to your daily blog journey:

The first is The Republic of T. This prolific blogger offers incisive commentary on everything imaginable. He kindly reviews BARMAN here.

The second is the Tech Law Advisor. On his blog, Kevin Hiller publishes reams of crucial info and commentary on intellectual property law, technology, and the Internet. How much more could I have in common with this fella. We both graduated from Rutgers, then there was law school, IP Law, and our full appreciation for Ping-Pong.

Off the Hook

How was the Barman Paperback Launch Party? Thank you for asking. A wonderful time was had by all. We held the event at the RX Gallery. This remarkable loft space is hidden away in the Tenderloin, easily the most dangerous part of San Francisco. I anticipated about 200 people, but reduced that number by about ten-percent or 20 people in the event of carjackings or other first-degree felonies. Conceiveably, BARMAN could have turned out to be the most expensive paperback ever sold: Approximately $260 (i.e., $10 for the book and $250 for the car/theft deductible to insurance).

The first step was getting past this man safely. Once inside, the lovely and talented Martha, greeted guests with door prizes that included books, Candy Barmen, and/or drinks. Hundreds gathered to take in the music and flirt. I couldn't have thrown the party without party planner extraordinaire, Tracey Gold (on the right), and the little misses, Kris (on the left).

Lawyers Are Funny

Do you want proof? Queen of the blawgers Denise Howell makes the case on The Industry Standard.

And you don't have to be an attorney to laugh at lawyers. Just ask glamorous star Sarah Lane.

Free Candy You Say?

Yeah, that's all I need, you, all hopped up on sugar. If you'd like one of these coveted Candy Barmen, drop by the party this Thursday (details below). Otherwise, drop me an email and we'll talk.

That's the Ticket!

Now here's something you don't ordinarily associate with a book:

I have a limited number of tickets. If you live in San Francisco and want one, feel free to email me.
