I just got back from the VRD conference. It was at the Airport Hyatt in San Francisco. It was my first visit to San Francisco and, despite the awkward location, I had a number of chances to visit the city. I made it down to Fisherman’s wharf (sea lions, and crab dinner) and North Beach (lots of coffee and City Light Books). Visiting City Light Books was cool as I had recently gotten a tour of the Beat exhibit surrounding the Keroauc scroll during Leslie’s visit. I also went to the Mission district for dinner a couple of times and got to visit Haight St. There is a Gap on the corner of Haight and Ashbury. I thought that was weird.

I enjoyed the conference. It was more focused than either the ALA or ACRL conferences I have been too, so I got a chance to talk to a number of like minded librarians. I volunteered as a conference assistant. Two of the speakers I got to introduce were Virtual Dave and Eileen Abels.
