Geeky, dress poorly, subscribe to things like Consumer Reports and bar journals. Architects are inherently cool, but make crap money. Dress well, have grand designs for their homes, and subscribe to things like Wallpaper. The merging of the two is a mutually beneficial arrangement. We're playing yetna this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes.

You are my sock puppet. I have thrown joint parties with an architect of my acquaintance, and the two groups get on famously. Both groups are obsessive/compulsive, overeducated, and can talk about nothing other than their work. This offends, intimidates and bores most outsiders, and among insiders leads to horrendous torrents of "shop talk." However, lawyers and architects talking to each other find a fairly receptive audience, smart enough to understand what the other does and think it interesting, and also (but differently) abused by the "system" in which they work so they have sympathy for horror stories.
Good combination.
