The Entertaining Editrix

Overtaken by a fit of hospitality, I invited a few people over for dinner. Specifically, I invited nearly 20 Law Review types, and they're almost all coming. I am stunned, but delighted, by the acceptance rate.

And a small part of me wonders how many of the staffers think attendance is mandatory... Nevermind. They have to eat, and there will be some good food tonight.

The triple-chocolate brownies are already made, so the evening's success is pretty much assured, don't you think? We're stocked up on wine and beer, I'm throwing together a couple of pies this morning, and then this afternoon I'll start the sauce and dough for pizza. I have assorted toppings to go with the pizza, good ice cream to go with the desserts.

I've promised at least some non-law-school related conversation, though. That's going to be the really hard part of the evening. I'm relying heavily on TFL and GirlChild and the few significant others to help out in that regard, but maybe I should equip them with cattle prods so they can zap us when we slip into yet another conversation about class, or how far behind we are in the reading, or how brutal that one cite check was... Anyone with topic suggestions, feel free to chime in.

Sounds like a great evening. Here's a good conversation opener: "I learned all I know from my MOTHER...." Good, don't you think?
