Shoot. My meetings/events and “free” time seem to conflict with yours, although I might skip what I’d planned for Sunday evening and attend the GLBTRT social instead. Compared to the conferences I’ve been attending over the past five years, ALA has an overwhelming volume of things to do happening all at the same time. I’ve already been told that sleep is not on the schedule, and it must be true since I couldn’t find it in the Event Planner.
