day one hundred seventy-four.

ALA: day two
(saturday)

"my job is holding the bowl."

vegan cooking demonstration, with black bean salad eating and free cookbooks at the end.

i heard a librarian whisper, "i could never eat at outback again!"

cookie marketing!

chilling with sir salman rushdie.
he is such a natural speaker; even his tangents have smooth transitions.
we enjoyed hearing about the many ways j.m. barrie looked nothing like johnny depp.

librarians are obsessed with twitter.
people were tweeting about seeing their tweets on the giant tweet screen
(tweet)

madam toni morrison, our speaker for the evening.
i was sitting with GSLISers whitney and aaisha and we have a (quiet) cheer when she name checked the u of i and its massive collection.

we had thai food in chinatown afterwards, and whitney and i walked around for a bit

we had dessert on the brain.

conference shoulder looking less debilitating

off to day three!
