SLA 2008 - Canadian Reception, Lexis Dessert Reception at EMP, Elsevier Party (Monday, June 16)

By emma wood

The highlight for me at this reception was getting to meet Karen S., my soon-to-be colleague in Winnipeg. [Karen and Brenda, who I know a little from Vancouver, blog at Library Technician Dialog.] We had a great time comparing notes on our jobs and she gave me the scoop on the Winnipeg law library scene. Heard all about Rex from Andornot’s upcoming adventures abroad. Saw the back of Connie Crosby’s head but didn’t get to meet her! Did meet a lot of other cool cool people, though, as we headed to the Lexis Dessert Reception at the Experience Music Project and then to the Elsevier party at W hotel (nice: champagne, live band, more dessert).

Oh yeah, and we discovered that a great way to meet people is to grab them as they’re walking by and exclaim “Are you someone famous?”
