Starting Sunday I'll be in Milwaukee for the ASIS&T Annual Meeting. I'm pretty excited about going for several reasons.
- It's in Milwaukee! I went to college near Milwaukee, most of my friends live there, and it kinda feels like I'm going to my second home for almost a week.
- This is my first ASIS&T conference and I'm hoping it's a good one. The overall theme of the conference is "Social Computing and Information Science". Fun! I'm supposed to be volunteering but things have been weird getting that set up so we'll see what happens.
- I'm staying with friends. Friends are great! They will actually be gone for the weekend when I show up but they mailed the key to their apartment so I could still stay there. Friends are great!
- I'm going to an author event with a college friend I hadn't seen in a long time on Saturday. We've been using Facebook to set things up this whole week. It should be a good time and we can swap library stories since we both work in public libraries.
So barring any unforeseen circumstances (like my car breaks down on the way, it's been moody lately and hasn't made the trip to Wisconsin in close to 5 years), I should be there from Saturday to Thursday.
Then two weeks after that I'm going to Milwaukee again! My friend is getting married and we're going for the wedding. It actually would've been Milwaukee 3 times in a 6 week period if it hadn't been for me working on the weekend of Homecoming. That would've been about 2 weeks ago. Apparently Milwaukee is calling my name this month.
