%#$@*! Blogger!

(Don't blame us -- Blogger was down for hours!)

Picking up on a vibe from Ale, we continue our "Law and Lunch" series with the story of Mark Avsec. Who is Mark Avsec?" you say. Let us tell you:

Thirty years ago, Mr. Avsec was a member of Wild Cherry, laying down the boogie and playing that funky music until he died...or so he had planned. Of course, disco died, but not Avsec's career. He went on to hook up with Donnie Iris, co-writing that mid-rotation classic rock classic "Ah! Leah!" And then tragedy hit. A "disgurntled musician" claimed that the song's background vocal part had ripped him off and suued for copyright infringement. After three long years of litigation and a last-minute change of counsel, the case was dismissed. Avsec, his faith in music and the law in tatters, was ready to make that legendary journey to Rodando Beach, when the time-transcendent spirit of the Monz visited him. Like Batman and Spiderman before him, he would get vengance by becoming a superhero intellectual property lawyer and save others from such injustices. But first he had to finish college! At age 32, Avsec entered Cleveland State University, where he would later get his law degree. Look at him now! Monz is glad he could help, and if you feel like getting back in the music game Mark, feel free to borrow Monz' Craiglist musicians ad!

We can all borrow Monz' suggestion for lunch: corn beef and turkey with wholegrain mustard, orange, and string cheese.
