Last night I was front row center for a live taping of e Town a national radio show with 1 million listeners.  The show featured M ike D oughty and Z ee A vi.

MD is an old favorite, I have seen him in MD, LA, NY, CO (5+ times) etc.

He played with S crap the upright bassist on 5 songs including 3 unreleased tunes.

Z ee A vi plays on Jack Johnson’s label (she was discovered on YouTube while living in Malaysia), and boy was she a surprise awesome.  Her debut album comes out today, check it out!

During the show which will play in about 6 weeks they talked of Erica, the show hosts daughter, who is in Au R evoir Simone.  She went to college with my sister!  Dad is part of Big Head Todd.

At the end of the show the eTones, S crap, MD and ZA jammed a closing number, it was really cool.

Had a good time exploring Boulder by bike, had some guac, italian frozen yogurt, the worlds best fries (at spuds), etc

Saturday night had drinks with a woman with an amazing voice, Merle.  She is currently the diva/Lady in the Lake in Spamalot.  Her Broadway resume is ridiculous (starring roles in Rent and Aida and JC Superstar).

Friday threw a dinner party.

And best of all, school’s out for summer!

I got the 3rd highest grade on my law final, I missed these three questions (I had the third correct but switched it, would have had the second highest grade, stupid outsmarting myself!):
A girder falls from an overpass on I-70 killing the occupants of car that was traveling under the overpass at the time.
The girder was installed a week before the accident by a highway contractor.  This is an example of

strict liability under 402A
comparative negligence          INCORRECT
assault and battery.
res ipsa loquitur.              CORRECT

Boneheaders (“Boneheaders 1) first uses its band name in Colorado on September 23, 1992.  Boneheaders 1 has played
throughout Colorado, but not in any other states, and has obtained a state trademark registration in Colorado.  They sell
no merchandise.  Another group calling itself Boneheaders (“Boneheaders 2″) has performed in New York beginning on May 5,
1981 and in New Jersey beginning on December 1, 1982, but in no other states.  They also do not sell merchandise, and
have not registered their trademark with any governmental agency.  Which band has prior rights to the name “Boneheaders”
in New Mexico?

Boneheaders 1 because they have a state trademark registration in Colorado.             INCORRECT
Boneheaders 1 because they first used the mark anywhere.
Boneheaders 2 because they first used the mark in interstate commerce.
Boneheaders 1 under trademark law’s “geographic proximity” rule.
Neither group can claim priority in New Mexico. CORRECT

In a pure comparative negligence state, if a plaintiff in a personal injury case is found to be at least 50 percent
