Muscular Dystrophy, Motorcycles, and Schnitzel
I spent my Sunday volunteering to help out with the DuBois Harley Davidson Club’s “Dice Roll for Muscular Dystrophy.” Essentially, the guys would roll dice at various checkpoints (traveling over 100 miles), and the highest and lowest rollers won prizes.
The Harley guys always crack me up. Some absolutely huge guy with tattoos everywhere would walk over, roll, and then say, “Thank you, sir.” Mixed in among the tatoos and chaps were surgeons, attorneys, and various other people with jobs that you wouldn’t guess by looking at them. We even had an ADA come over to us and ask us how law school was going.
The event was successful even though it was a pretty terrible day. We ended up raising something on the order of $15,000. The parents that came to represent the MDA were really grateful, and their son (the spokesperson) was hilarious. There was a bike painting station in the Harley shop, and the mother asked if they could paint his name onto the chair. The boy quickly added, “And flames!”
Changing gears, I finally caught up with some law school friends the other day. It’s been a pretty hectic summer for everyone. People are working all over the country, so it can be difficult to keep in touch. The good news for my readers is my crazy-smart colleague Andrew Schnitzel — who is currently serving the Third Circuit as a judicial intern — expressed the desire to guest blog here, so expect some great substantive posts in the near future.
Well, it’s almost 9, so I should probably get to researching.

Thanks for the nice introduction. I’ll be providing my random thoughts here at Legal Geekery hoping to encourage some friendly debate, and hijack Josh’s website.
Since my crazy-smartness cannot figure out how to post a picture of Bob Wiley’s favorite book (trivia?) my inaugural post will be temporarily delayed. Look forward to some 0L advice, interesting cases, random analysis, and Maher-esque ranting.

This idea is awesome. I am trying to organize a ride for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy for our organization, Darius Goes West. Do ya’ll have any suggestions for help? Thanks for supporting the cause.

Hey Daniel,
Unfortunately, I was just a volunteer and didn’t help organize the event. The only thing I can say that may be useful is that the local Harley Davidson shop was willing to give us a really good deal on a bike to raffle off for the event. I think the bike raffle pulled in the most money.
Good luck. Let us know how it goes!
