i went to drinking liberally earlier this evening. i managed to talk to both atrios and mrs. atrios. they confirmed that we know some people in common; something i have suspected ever since atrios revealed that he taught at bryn mawr, the sister school of where my wife teaches.
i also met "liz", who, as it happened, was arguing on the same side as me an atrios comment thread earlier today, and several attorneys who happened to be (kind of) my clients (they work for legal services and my firm represents their labor union). actually, everyone there was very friendly. hopefully, i can make it again next week.
