Crazy bits of serendipity flying *everywhere*

I got a comparatively good night’s sleep with the pain meds, waking only every 3 hours to cough, and painlessly at that. I got up early, felt awake, got myself together, and got out the door to the conference center.

After registering at the Press Office, I wandered over to Schilo’s Deli for a cheap breakfast of 2 eggs poached, grits, and toast for $3.25. Apparently they make their own root beer, but I didn’t see the signs for it until I was on my way out. I think I’ll hafta stop by there again to try some. If you’re here and you want cheap food in big portions, and you like German, hit Schilo’s (SHEE-los), it’s a spit away from the conference center.

I cam back ot the conference center to find a comfy place to site and be online until I head to the “Library Advocacy Now! @ your library: Speaking up about the hard issues” session, and I asked a nice lady if anyone was in the seat next to her with my little bunny whisper, and she said no, so I had a seat. Then noted I was from Somerville, and she was from Dedham, and she happened to be the president of the Massachusetts Library Association.

This was the same person I emailed a while back about the my Wikipedia stub article on MLA. We were both delightfully surprised, and chatted for a bit. Shed like to send some MLA scholarship winners my way to blog for PLA at the PLA conference, especially for the preconference sessions, which will serve as this year’s MLA conference. And I’ll be in touch with the archivist for MLA, to see what other sorts of data to add to the Wikipedia article, and, with any luck, pictures and artifact scans.

Conferences can be creepy in a fun kind of way.
