PLA librarians in the house
PLA is indeed in Boston. Even my non-librarian friends in the area can feel it, as was evident from the IMs I received upon my return home last night. Here's an example from this morning:
[09:37] PrettyDaisies: sorry, just wanted to let you know that i'm at the librarian conference *right this second*
[09:37] PrettyDaisies: and things are rowdy dowdy, baby
[09:38] oakenguy: i could tell! it's at Hynes, isn't it? that's probably why Berklee declared this week spring break---they didn't want their students exposed to all the debauchery
[09:38] PrettyDaisies: :D
[09:39] PrettyDaisies: breaking the librarian stereotype, once raucous event at a time
[09:39] PrettyDaisies: ;)
[09:39] oakenguy: explaining to the parents how their guitar major woke up in an alley with a dewey decimal number tattooed on his rump...bad PR, oh so bad...
[09:40] PrettyDaisies: dude, can i blog that statement?
[09:40] PrettyDaisies: i'll exclude your name to protect the innocent, if you like
[09:40] oakenguy: there are no innocents here! blog away, i'm flattered :)
And before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, I have much permission to post this little interchange. As a matter of fact, he mentioned being *flattered*, as you can see.
Hee, our reputation preceeds us. Let's not let the Bostonites down. ;D
