This might change depending on how tough it seems to hop on a shuttle bus and get to these many programs scattered around different hotels. I remember feeling fairly frustrated at nightmarish logistics the last time I attended ALA in Chicago.

Hmm, blogging get-together? Interesting…
You should go!!!
I suspect that by that time I will be selling used pencils on a street corner to pay for my hotel room. I really should have made reservations earlier, so I didn’t end up in the same hotel the conference is being held in.
If I am there, I’ll be the big guy with short hair and glasses, with a look of abject panic on my face. That’s just the way I usually look.
OK, if I’m there I’ll be the short plump girl with shoulder length brown hair. That makes me fairly undistinguishable from the hordes of female librarians
I seem to be pretty standard for male librarians, too. Funny how that works…
