A Very Social (and Diverse) Weekend

One of my favorite aspects of going to school while living in Houston is the incredible variety of library school students; the incredible variety of librarians; and, the incredible variety of things to do. A good illustration of that is the social calendar for this weekend. This Sat. LISSA is having a social at the UH Pizza Hut. It starts at 4:00 p.m., not long after Alex Simon's 5600 study group session. I'm looking forward to meeting some of the new students (actually, there are no "new" students--only ones I haven't met!).

On Fri. night some of the UH librarians are gathering at the Alabama Ice House, almost a Houston landmark. Suffice it to say everyone should go at least once just to have the experience. The UH crowd is a pretty cool one--no bores allowed. Great way to (the "n" word) while having a lot of fun. It was great of Poom to get the welcome mat put out for us non-UHers.

I'm assuming "the n word" is... network? (*gasp*) What a thought: having fun whilst networking! ~ Erin Dorris

Mindboggling, isn't it? But surely that is
the raison d'etre of networking!
