A couple of weeks ago Amanda’s blog post mentioned Lawyerpalooza, a battle-of-the-bands event that takes place each year here in Seattle to raise money for music programs at local schools. We loved the idea of lawyers duking it out on stage rather than in the courtroom, and raising money for a good cause in the process. So I picked up the phone to chat with the organizer, Mike Nesteroff, an attorney at Lane Powell and part-time musician, and Avvo is now a sponsor – actually, we’re officially the “food” sponsor — of Lawyerpalooza 2008. This is the first legal event we’ve sponsored, and while not a traditional event like a CLE or conference, it seems like a fitting place to start for Avvo.

It should be a fun event that raises money for a great cause, so if you live in Seattle try to come down to the Showbox (by Pike Place Market) on Thursday, April 24th. The doors open at 5:30pm, and tickets are $20, which you can buy online at the Lawyerpalooza website or in person at the Showbox.

Hope to see you there.
