A quick a reminder about tonight’s WebJunction member reception (5-8pm in the Marriott Anaheim Grand Ballroom). For me, this will be the real kickoff for ALA. I’ve walked around a bit in the Anaheim heat and scoped out the orange bags, but tonight is my first opportunity to put names to the faces of the WebJunction community. I can’t wait to meet a bunch of our members; if you see a tall guy with a brand-new haircut come say hello!

Though we won’t be lighting off fireworks of our own, you can probably catch some right outside just after the event (I shot these from a freeway overpass just down the road on the way back from dinner). Hopefully the fire metaphor will end there. We expect the reception to be packed with all of our friends and colleagues from libraryland and don’t want any over-capacity warnings from the fire marshal.

I look forward to seeing you tonight!

update: reception moved to the larger Ballroom E. More space=no fire marshal worries!
