Hmm, this is what I’m thinking of attending:

I hope that when I show up on Friday, whatever booklet that ALA provides gives a little more information about some of the things I tentatively planned to attend. There are very few substantial descriptions about some of the programs in the online event planner, and I’m sure there was some reason why I added some of these things to my schedule, but I don’t remember why now!
I think a nameless vendor is going to be handing out a thing with a reference to something I did. I feel like a corporate shill 
In my alternate identity as a mild-mannered librarian, I most likely be wandering about wearing a fantabulous hand knitted item while schlepping a yellow shoulder bag, so say hi if you see me!
Wow, I feel tired already and I haven’t even gone to the conference! Please, please, please, my fellow attendees, don’t walk around the city with your name tags on, carrying the ALA totebags!
