The Portland Post!
Spent Friday at this conference, which was terrific. Open access legal scholarship is an important idea and I'm very pleased that so many smart, energetic people are thinking, speaking and writing about it. The Lewis & Clark Law Review will produce a symposium issue of the finished versions of the papers that were presented, which is something to watch for if the subject interests you.
The conference was organized by Lewis & Clark law profs Lydia Loren and Joe Miller, who are among the nicest, most-fun-to-hang-out-with law profs I know. Yesterday they took us to this exhibit, then to Powell's City of Books, plus gave us a nice walking tour of downtown Portland and bought us a lot of great food. If you ever get invited to a conference at Lewis & Clark Law School, do not even wait for the inviter to finish the sentence before you accept.
Portland is beautiful, and the people seemed very progressive and friendly. My only tiny note of discord is this: While "low flow" toilets are a good idea in theory, if you have to flush them eight times to get the job done, they probably aren't saving any water.
Also was lucky enough to have lunch with Barry Deutsch of Alas, A Blog while I was in town, and he is even smarter and funnier than I expected, which is going some. I'm currently enjoying the free wireless in the Portland airport and have a 12 hour or so journey home, but I should be back to blogging tomorrow.
