I ended up going to dinner with the “splinter group” of bloggers at Cafe Luna at 17th & P. Due to the size of the group in comparrison with the size of the restrauant, I ended up speaking with Dorathea of Caveat Lector and a friend of her’s for most of the dinner. Other folks there included Greg Schwartz, Chris Zammarelli, and Meredith Farkas among others. (Sorry, I’m really bad with names.)
After dinner it was back to the hotel lounge once again for more talk. Stephen Abram held court, and many of us listend with great intensity. 😉 Topics included how to be approachable to patrons at the reference desk and the want to create an IM bot that would cue incoming messages allowing for just a slightly more effective reference via IM interface with the ultimate goal being consortial IM virtual reference.
As expected, I wasn’t back to my room before midnight. Of course, I’d yet to iron my shirt for today, so that kept me up just a bit longer. Now that I’ve figured out where the WiFi is (and that it’s working) I allowed myself to sleep an extra hour. Now, to find some coffee…
