Two Notes

Two bits of business to report.

(1) Panini & Rye regrets to announce that one of our first clients, Bust-a-Moves, the Midwest's third-most popular chain of breakdance studios, will be ceasing operations. The Bush years took their toll on this venerable institution. I thank Max Flash for trusting us with his legal needs these past twenty-four years and wish him the best in his future endeavors. Every time I "moon walk" down the hallway, I can thank Max for teaching me that move.

(2) Our friends at the Picayune have weighed in on Panini & Rye's blog. I won't do them the dignity of quoting them at length, but I reject in the most strenuous language that this is "a cheap stunt" and that "it proves that Mr. Rye is oblivious to what goes on in his own firm." I take great pride in keeping my office door open and "hanging" with the staff. I assure everyone that there are no secrets here.
