I wanted to write a day one wrap up last night. I did. But I had to go to sleep- I was exhausted. I got to the conference center yesterday at 8 am for my preconference. Had a quick lunch during that. Went straight from preconference to keynote. From there right over to the exhibit reception (excellent food by the way, I was surprised. Great “regional” tastes with the salmon and crab cakes). Got more wrapped up in exhibits than I thought and scuttered over to gaming night. I had been looking forward to it, and it didn’t disappoint. I met some new people and played my favoite game ever- Rock Band. I tried some Dance Dance Revolution. Myself and a handful of others shut the place down It was a really great venue for a first-timer to meet other people, since gaming really brings people together. But by the time I left gaming and got back to my hotel, it was late and I couldn’t bring myself to think and type. It was a long day (8 am to 10:30 pm) at the conference and was exhausted from being out and about all day, but it was great. It was a wonderful first day and I never felt out of place. Thanks to all of the other nice librarians that I talked to throughout the day who welcomed me and made me feel comfortable.
