Ever heard of Intellectual Property? Well it's kind of a big deal. And Knobbe Martens is globally recognized as one of the industry leaders when it comes to intellectual property law.
I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with many of the country's brightest IP attorneys and scientists. The venue was oozing with high LSAT scores and billing rates that rival mortgage payments. I saw some pretty impressive TPS reports.
The Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes is one of those resorts I'd consider spending my left kidney on to get a room there for a night. The place was insanely awesome and a fantastic venue. The staff was top notch and very cooperative. Too bad we spent most of the day in the banquet rooms :(
Another highlight from the day was hanging out with the who's who of Improv - ComedySportz. These guys were a blast. I was very impressed with how they taught the associates improvisation skills that will benefit them in the workplace. James Bailey led the charge and did a fantastic job.
Once we finished inside, it was out to the back lawn that overlooked Catalina Island. Everyone enjoyed cocktails, a lot of cocktails, until the sun set, then it was time for dinner and some more cocktails.
Rumor has is it that a talented gal by the name of Aubrey Messick put together all the centerpieces last minute for every single table. There were a LOT of tables. Job well done.
After dinner, the folks from ComedySportz came back out on stage for a final performance and rocked the night away. Good times.

Mike - One of the attendees commented to me, "I didn't even know we had a photographer there" and I want to pass that on to you b/c I think that is one of the best compliments you as a photographer could receive. Your obvious talent will garner business, but your professionalism will secure repeat clients. I have worked with photographers that I would not trust to do an event, but you did a terrific job capturing the event, required no-to minimal direction, and blended in with the group. Thank you - job well done.
