Thanks to everyone who was able to show up this evening, and I hope to see the rest of you in 2008! There were three new Roscoe’s converts this evening, and in my mind, that’s a successful night. My work here is done. ---

_What do you call four lawyers in a bowling alley?_ There’s really no joke here, just noticing that for a career that gets a notoriously bad rap, these folks are a fun crew to hang with. The notion was put out that these things could become semi-regular. That, and the next one might be in a Westside location. **Queen Bruin:** As I was out today doing some holiday shopping, I walked right past **Apple Pan**!!! Unfortunately, I had just eaten, but now I know where it is! What was the Mexican place you were recommending? ---

😃 Brad, I’m glad you found the Apple Pan, the delight of my heart. Or is that killer of my heart, delight of my cardiologist? [El Parian](http://tacohunt.blogspot.com/2005/09/el-parian-paraso-asada-la-parrilla.html) is the other restaurant I was talking about. It is one of only two locations (the other is a Taco Cart of unknown provenance in East LA) to get a five taco rating from the taco bandito. And the tacos are, indeed, a wonder to behold. Their tacos are a little expensive (compared to stuff off a taco cart) but huge and delicious. I had SUCH a blast bowling, I cannot begin to say. I haven’t had that much fun in a long time. You guys rock. ---

Just to be clear, I don’t want to be lumped in with those other lawyer-types. I’m just a lowly paralegal, but I sleep with a clear conscience. 😃 I had to chuckle at the thought of trying to organize an Apple Pan Dopefest – we could rent out the place and still only get maybe 15 of us in the door. 🙂 ---

Just read **Brad Serum** ’s post and realised with a shock that yes, 4 of us were in the same industry. **Asimovian** , don’t sell yourself short to all the lovely Dopers. I haven’t forgotten YOU helped me out with something when my own paralegal was like “duhhhhhhh???” It was lovely meeting you all. Best of luck to QB and her husband for exams. ---
