Hi, KJ

Is Seattle a good place to be in July? The American Association of Law Librarians is holidng their annual conference there and I haven't decided yet if I'm going.
Would you recommend it?

BobP told me that nobody vacations in Seattle. They just go through it to go to Canada. LOL

First of all, the weather is a damn sight better than Philadelphia! (I can't remember when they held AALL there, but I heard that the weather was absolutely sweltering.) Late July and early August is the best weather in Seattle -- 70s or so, blue skies, plenty of sunlight.

The Legal Writing Institute was held at Seattle University School of Law (state of the art building -- you should check it out if AALL is not being held there) in 2000. I worked there as a vendor with Lexis. West bribed the teachers with a M's tickets; we gave a cruise on Lake Washington, which was fun (among other things, we went by all the super-ritzy houses on the lake -- including Bill Gates' house, which IMO looks like the Unibomber's shack enlarged 100,000 times).

When would you be coming? I've decided to write the bar exam this summer, which is held the last week in July here. Let me know if you would have a few hours to spare to meet up!

Author: KatherineJ [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:35:12 03/28/03 Fri August is even better weather-wise and my free time-wise. We could probably talk Hope into coming down from Victoria, also! :-) Katherine
