After about 12 hours in the air, 2 hours in cars, and a few extra hours hanging round airports, I’ve arrived safely in Anaheim for the ALA Annual Conference. I didn’t get off to a particularly auspicious start when after checking into my hotel (Paradise Pier – a Disney Hotel – I’ve got a Mickey Mouse lamp in my room and view of the themepark!) I couldn’t get onto the ‘net. Since I’d brought a minimum of paper with me, relying on access to various websites for information about the conference, this left me a bit stranded.

Anyway, now with a replacement network cable, I’m online (still can’t get the hotel wireless to work), and settled in. I took a walk around the area just to see where everything is, but missed the first session I wanted to get to – the NISO/AVIAC meeting. Oh well – plenty more to do over the next 3 days.

Tonight I’ve decided to go along to the Open Gaming Night – mainly because I really, really, want to have a go on Rock Band, but also because I suspect some bloggers I read might be there (I know Jenny Levine will be there), and it would be nice to meet them…
