Reign of the Summers

A new summer associate, Adam, joined us today. He's going to be at the LA office for only a few weeks. Adam (not be confused with my current co-summer Adam) is actually a summer at Nossaman's Virginia office. He's in his 2L summer and appears to be so certain that he wants to practice in the infrastructure practice group that the Firm is sending him on a grand tour of all the Nossaman offices that have infrastructure attorneys: Texas, LA, and Virgina (where he's working). He just flew in from the Texas office, where he apparently has already spent 2 weeks.

Anyway, Adam (aka Adam #2, A2, Other Adam, or Juan Carlos) appears to be a very nice guy. Heck, he must be, if he can convince the firm to pay for travel and hotel expenses for a month.

Field Trip Lunch: The Pantry on Figueroa near the Staples Center, courtesy of Jeremy, a 2-month associate. Today's lunch posse was rather large, consisting of 3 summer associates (Adam #1 wasn't in today), 2 regular associates, 2 partners, and a small child (one of the associates' kids). The Pantry is a pretty nifty place, with a definite "small town 70's-ish diner-cafeteria" feel to it. I was contemplating breakfast, but ended up going with a burger and fries. The food was good, the conversation was great, and I found out that Jeremy, like myself, is a huge DMB fan.
