I’ll be attend­ing ALA’s Annual meet­ing in Chicago this week­end. Since I’m going as both an author and Past-President of ALAN (www.alan-ya.org), I have both an offi­cial author sched­ule and an unof­fi­cial pro­fes­sional /fanboy sched­ule. Come say, What’s up, dog? Or just Hi, if that’s not your cuppa tea.

Author Sched­ule:

Fan­boy Sched­ule:

SATURDAY: A cou­ple of recep­tions and an Abram’s celebration.

SUNDAY: YA Cof­fee Klatch (if I can score a ticket from some­one who can’t attend [hint, hint])
