New Orleans, currently a librarian free-zone

So, what's missing here on Bourbon Street? Yes, you got it, librarians!

This is my first trip to a non-librarian conference (though it's an informatics meeting, TDWG, so that's almost like kissing cousins).

So there are tote bags, and such, but I'm not seeing the Gale Shuttle or blinking pins from vendors; no fancy reception at Napoleon House (though a fun Zydeco evening at Tipitinia's).

Also, since it's not ALA summer, the weather is actually pretty nice!

Laissez les bons temps rouler! Yeah you right!
