Some Joy in Whoville!
So, some firms are not canceling their holiday parties.
Dechert’s makeup may be fading, but (apparently) the show must go on.
Dechert is still having its annual Holiday reception (cocktails, dinner and dancing) and, as usual, everyone at the firm is invited and everyone gets to bring a guest. The only changes are that it is on a Wednesday at the Grand Hyatt near GCT now (rather than on a Thursday at the Waldorf, as it had been for several years).
Be. Our. Guest! Be our guest, put our service to the test.
Meanwhile, Orrick is cutting back but not canceling their holiday party:
When: Friday, December 12th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.Where: The Orrick Building - 10th Floor
Let’s raise a glass together in appreciation for another year of hard work and good cheer.
Conference room holiday party. Yay?
Well, it’s better than being fired.

Will Elie Mystal be at the ATL holiday party? Post your predictions here!
Due to the (no doubt temporary) return to stories related to law firms, the strike has been postponed to Thursday, November 13.
So Elie, did you use this as a time to follow up. Remember, the Chairman slapped you down. Did you think of maybe asking about the empty offices. Check with folks in FRE. Ask where that nice pleasent guy who used to work here had gone. Or the blonde lady from down the hall.
Or did you just take it as usual and say thanks for the positive spin, Mr. Dechert.
i'm nervous about the way my black con law professor has been staring at me lately

Buffet, party of one.
Elie will be at the holiday party, whether he is invited or not. He obviously never misses free food. Oh, and in case this was too subtle, Elie, you are fat. Lose weight.
SkaddenDC is encouraging everyone not to celebrate christmas this year so that everyone will not be disappointed with paltry bonuses that are expected to be given out.
This is substantive??
...there's no speculation out there to who will be named the next AG at all.
And MysTTTal gives us holiday parties.
I'm going to ABA Journal.
Elie Mystal ate his own mother when she could not breast feed him fast enough.
"The ratio of people to cake is too big."
i'm nervous about Michelle Ewing Obama gnawing off her husband's ears with her humongous teeth.
Well, at least Orrick has their own building in SF, with a good space where other companies frequently host parties. It's not the same as the cubicle party for Lumberg on Office Space.
ATL is not only disallowing discussion of a boy@ott, it is also banning IP addresses that talk about it. November 7.
or they might be banning the word boycott
nope, just the IP address.
Mystal to 40 Cakes and a mule!

das ist poop, ya?
boycott ATTTL Friday, Nov. 7th for the monstrosity otherwise known as Elie.
And very nice, 18.
ATTTL sucks
Just to clarify, while the ATL boycott is Nov 7, the boycott for lawyers will be on Nov 8.

Mystal looks like Dr. Zaius. I wish he was as smart as Dr. Zaius, too.
God damn you, you damn dirty apes!
Seriously, do you all have nothing better to do than make fun of Elie? His posts are clearly of some interest, otherwise you fine folk wouldn't be taking the time to read each entry and comment.
Elie - I think your posts are interesting. Ignore their idiotic comments.
12 = bitter Pennsylvanian
Glad to see the Elie: OUT! movement gaining momentum. A collision between an unstoppable force and an immovable object (Mystttal) is imminent.
24 = elie's mother just before he ate her.

I came back to see if I was missing out on anything interesting only to be reminded of why I stopped reading this site.
Friday can't come soon enough.
How many DC firms have cancelled holiday partys?
Friday boycott is a good start, Elie has been so bad I just deleted the bookmark. Adios ATTTL
SkaddenDC and Covington are both discouraging xmass this year.
Actually Orrick's 10th floor is pretty awesome. 3 years ago, when I worked there, each of the rooms was a different ethnic food--all delicious (including some decent sushi). There was top shelf liquor at the open bar. And there was a free jukebox that had a shitload of songs on it. I had a great time.
32, why did you need a bookmark?
Please explain
24: The only reason I still come here is to read the comments.
36: I only come here to read the comments regarding the comments.
37: I only come here to read the comments addressed to me

Why don't we combine the proposed Holiday Party Cancellation list withe proposed layoff list...
let MysTTTal eat cake.
and boycott's don't work on the intertubes...

I'm trying to decide if Elie was trying to work the holiday angle by including the Whos, or if he's just a fuck-up for mangling the "joy in Mudville" bit from "Casey at the bat" in a situation where it really doesn't work.
Now, if he had worked the Mudville angle into one of his 30+ election posts, that would have been a well-placed reference.
With your insluts about Ellie you are all missing the point. Dechert is throwing a huge party but at the same time laying off people. I bet that by not throwing the party they could have kept one more associate.
Brilliant typo, 42. Henceforth, all the people who come here just to "haTTTe" Elie in a clusterfuck of stupidity should be known as "insluts."
that was not a typo.
41, of course referring to Whoville is a reference to holidays. What the hell else would it be?
Conference room party at Baker Botts as well. Guess they overspent their budget when the Executive Committee came to town.
MANDATE: So we'll just take it from the staff.

Of course Dechert will have a party! How else will the partners get their drunken ass grabbing of secretaries and paralegals in before scurrying home to wifey?
