Join YLD at PhiLAWpalooza Oct. 2

By Philadelphia Bar Association

The Young Lawyers Division will host its second annual PhiLAWpalooza on Oct. 2 at the legendary J. C. Dobbs on South Street, with an exciting line-up of bands comprising Philadelphia lawyers of all ages and practice areas.

This year's line-up includes fan favorites A Band Called M (Montgomery, McCracken, Walker & Rhoads, LLP) and Class Action (Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin) playing rock-n-roll hits. Newcomers include Habeus Crappus (Caesar, Rivise, Bernstein, Cohen & Pokotilow, Ltd.), Roger Delco (Law Offices of David W. Wolf) and special guest Paula Boggs, general counsel for Starbucks.

This year also features an upstairs stage for open mic-style performances or jam sessions. Lawyers are encouraged to bring along an acoustic guitar or other unplugged instrument for a little more chilled out experience.

The bands are very excited about performing at J. C. Dobbs, where they will rock the same stage where Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, and Green Day made their Philadelphia debuts. "At a recent Pearl Jam concert, Eddie Vedder spoke happily about the reopening of J. C. Dobbs. High praise indeed," said Class Action lead singer Hank Resch. "Obviously, we are thrilled and honored at the opportunity to play at this legendary venue where so many great musicians have performed over the years. I hate to date myself so badly, but my first visit to Dobbs was in 1977 when I saw George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers."

PhiLAWpalooza will be held on Thursday, Oct. 2, from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 for Association members ($15 at the door) and $15 for non-members ($18 at the door). Admission includes rock-n-roll, drink tickets, heavy hors d'oeuvres, and exciting drink specials! J. C. Dobbs is located at 304 South St. Click here to purchase tickets.
