Getting ready for Annual
Tue 7 Jul 2009, 7:18 pm
One hundred copies of Codslap! The Library Society of the World Zine are now printed and ready for folding and stapling! They could have done that for me at the copy place, but I was too cheap to pay for it. Plus it doesn’t seem like a zine if you don’t get to screw up the stapling and folding by yourself.
It had not occurred to me just how heavy nine hundred sheets of paper would be. I’m going to have to drasticaly re-think my baggage strategy for this trip.
It has been years since I have been to ALA Annual, and am coming to grips with how big and spread out it all is, and that I won’t be able to just head down to the lobby of the conference hotel to find people to go to dinner with like I can at ITI conferences. I took a stab at a schedule and posted it to FriendFeed. I expect to make many changes on the fly, but unless the Fates intervene, I will be at the LSW meetup on Saturday night at Giordano’s on Jackson.

I can’t wait to see the zine!!!
And I’ll also be at the LSW thing on Saturday. It’ll be good to put faces and mannerisms to the names and personalities I’ve gotten to know online.

I have that exact stapler.
Have fun at ALA.

Several months ago, I think I may have volunteered to submit something. Is it too late?
Looking forward to seeing it! And you!

Heh. Yeah, that printed pile of paper means it’s too late, Tom. But this was a lot of fun and many people who said they wanted to contribute weren’t able to this time around (which is fine, as I couldn’t have fit much more in a reasonable-sized issue anyway). So I’m thinking we need to do it again, next year or sooner.
