Do you really need an invitation?

Once again, the nicest guy in P.I. is preparing to host one of the biggest lawyer shindigs of the year.

This years CPK "Open House" is this coming Friday (10/08/10) at 5:00 PM. Live music will be provided by Acoustic Soul, followed by a D.J. for those of you who like to shake a leg. Grub will be provided by Chino & Antonio's Pizza.

For those of you new to the scene, Craig's parties are a great place to eat, drink and walk that thin line that separates debauchery from disbarment. But seriously, there is no better networking opportunity for those of you seeking to make some law-friends. Pictures from last year's festivities are available here.

For those of you more experienced CPK party-goers, let's hear your favorite moments from years past. Hope to see you all there!

Fisticuffs at the CPK Party

Okay, okay ... we got the message.

Our bad for not putting up a post-CPK Party ... um ... post. It's the number one thing on our commenters minds, and we're sorry. Wea culpa.

Anyways, here's what we were able to glean about the fight at the party:

1. Attorney (unknown) was getting frisky with Girlfriend (not his).


2. Boyfriend (Boyd 2L) showed up, and took a swing at Attorney, thereby reducing his chances at OCI by one.


3. Attorney Leon Symanski ("hired goon" or former Running Rebel great, depending on who you ask) stepped in and sent the men to their corners.

That's all we know, we're looking to you guys to fill in the blanks. Also, do let us know of any other party shenanigans of which you are aware.

As for Ed Miley ... we got nothing (yet). Although, kudos to LU for finding this gem.

We also got a little chuckle out of Ed's website profile - "member of the Divorce and Domestic Section of the State Bar of Nevada" ... really?

(Thanks, tipsters!)

Two Words: Beer Truck

Pictures from last year's festivities are available here. Feel free to play "Find the Judge" if you get bored at work (it amused us for way too long).
