ALA

Well, I ignored my financial misgivings and registered today for the ALA conference in Chicago. It cost me $245 to register for the conference, a walking tour of Chicago, and a dinner. Now I have to find a hotel and a flight. Apparently discounts are available but I'm trying not to think about the grand total for this endeavor...

I've never been to an ALA conference and they're supposed to be good for networking, so I guess it's a sound career move (as much as I hate the concepts of "networking" and "career moves"). At the very least I'll get to see Baraka Obama and Ray Bradbury!

In other news, I itch.
