I made it to ALA

I made it to DC in one piece. The convention center is gigantic. There are about 1500 vendors here so its is more than one person can see. I am going to go to a new member meeting this afternoon at 4 PM and during the day I am going to tour the library of congress. I have a comically oversized nametag holder and really won't be winning any fashion shows with it but the security is tight here so you have to have your nametag at all times. I am sure it is going to be fast paced tomorrow when the vendors open up! I have quite a few Integrated Library System vendors to visit. SirsiDynix, Tripple I, Voyager, and there are even a few open source ILS groups here that would be intersting as well.
