in New Orleans
American Library Association conference highlights thus far:
- Shaking hands with New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin
- Meeting many wonderful librarians, especially you, Dawn!
- Walking along Bourbon Street and realising that I’m walking along Bourbon Street
- Randomly running into Margo Lanagan and her son Jack
- Picking up lots of free books, including John Green’s latest. Mmmm free books . . .
- Meeting someone who’s actually talked to Elvis Presley!!!!!
Running out of time so now I go.

isn’t the new orleans mayor guy a {bleep}. Isn’t he the one who wants to make New Orleans “more black” or sorry, “african american”…Isn’t he the same mayor that during Hurricane Katrina helped no one for he did not warn them in time…Yes. that is him. He cost my cousin’s life…Damn him to hell. R.I.P. Shelley
