Just a quick plug for my two panels at AALS tomorrow.
At 8:30, I'll be on the tax panel: "New Perspectives on Corporate Taxation." My paper looks at the partnership tax rules for taxing the profits interest in a partnership. Did I put you to sleep already? What makes it interesting is that these quirky rules allow the managers of venture funds, buyout funds and hedge funds to pay a lower tax rate on their labor income than anyone else you know. I will argue that it's time to change that, and I'll explain how and why.
At 1:30, I'll be on the "Blogging: Scholarship or Distraction?" panel. I'll be talking about the different ways that blogging isn't scholarship, but of all the different ways to procrastinate -- Free Cell, Sudoku, coffee with your colleagues, lunch with a friend -- it's the most productive and most likely to enhance your scholarship.
And of course, don't forget the Conglomerate Happy Hour at 6 pm at Murphy's. It's on 24th Street just north of Calvert.

Actually, your paper on receiving profits interests in a partnership sounds interesting to me. Can I get a copy? (Seriously)

Deb -- Thanks for the interest. I'm still working on a draft; it should be up on SSRN in April or May.
