The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) is holding its annual BIO International Convention this week in Washington, DC.

Patent Docs Donald Zuhn, Kevin Noonan, Sherri Oslick, James DeGiulio, Andrew Williams, Bradley Crawford, and Kwame Mensah will also be attending BIO as part of the MBHB contingent, and will be participating in BIO's blogger network throughout the week.

"Additional information about the reception, including an RSVP for the event, can be found here."
Can be found where? The "here" is not a link to anything.
Too bad I just now saw this or I'd have RSVPed for the reception and met you guys.
I could stop by and crash on the party but you guys might have a bouncer girl.

The link has been fixed. And you are welcome to stop by. Of course, there is a risk that we may figure out who you are.

A risk? I'll be sure to tell you that I'm 6 walking in lol. If you think you can figure out "who I am" from that, gl lol. If you really wanted to know I'd probably tell you, as some of the servers at Fados probably could. And I'm 99% sure that a solid chunk of the patent attorneys I work with know. Also, I'm 99.9% sure my spe knows. Fact is, true anonymity in the small town of ip attorneys and examiners is hard to maintain over the long haul unless you're really trying.
I already know who Just an Ordinary, NAL and ping as well as probably NWPA are. The only person who I don't know the secret identity of, and which I'd like to know, is malcolm.
But idk if I'll come out tonight, short notice and I was going to do a case. It's kind of a pain to train up there, ~an hour round trip. If my buddy is back in town I will def come up but idk if he's back from seattle.
