There’s all I need! Ok, just kidding. Maybe.

Want to help support MLA scholarships? Order your own shot glass or other gear from the completely unsanctioned Drinking SIG (Special Interest Group – I will not admit how long as a newbie in 2008 I faked understanding what SIG meant) now!

The MLA 2012 jerseys will be available for sale at the MLA booth in the exhibit hall.

Want to know where to use Drinking SIG gear?

I wouldn’t be a true eagle without supporting the SCC (South Central Chapter of the Medical Library Association) Armadillo Ball! On May 21st (Monday) in Willow Rooms A & B (2nd floor) at the Seattle Sheraton Hotel from 8pm-12 midnight for just $10 at the door you get an adorable armadillo pin and inside one of the best parties, complete with an encore performance by the Bearded Pigs. You can probably use the shotglass at the Pigs’ main performance May 20th (Sunday) from 8pm-11pm in Grand Ballroom C too.

Sorry but 2012 will not include me turning a year older at midnight during the Armadillo Ball. Being on the home team means I have to run like Cinderella to get some sleep back at the homestead before the next day starts up again downtown at 7am. To celebrate my birthday this year, I will be stuffing your conference bags with a great team in a race against a 4pm deadline when the Registration desk opens!
