If you’re headed to ALA Midwinter next week, allow me to personally invite you, dear reader, to the 5th Annual ALA MW Newbie and Veteran Tweet-up. Come hang out with the creme de la creme of online librarianship, the digerati of info professionals, the thinkers, doers, movers, and shakers of ALA. And I’ll be there, too, representin’ bow tie enthusiasts. =)
You don’t have to be on the Twitter to come, but if you are it’s a great way to finally meet all those wonderful people you stalk each day.
We’ll be at Anvil Pub on Saturday from 7:30 to 10:30pm. Hope you can make it!
Additional details:
Join us for the 5th Newbie & Veteran Librarian Tweet-up at the ALA 2012 Midwinter conference in Dallas, TX! Come meet new and veteran librarians. Learn and discuss all things that librarians are interested in over great music and drinks! Make the Saturday night a TRIFECTA of great social events!!
A little bit more about Anvil:
“Green kitchen…Greaseless with very low carbon imprint. Less calories and better tasting! Bicyclists can bring their bikes into the bar / bar is very bike-friendly. Vegan options on the menu. Good selection of beers, and Texas beers.”
According to the locals, Anvil Pub is one of the coolest places in the Deep Ellum neighborhood of Dallas. It’s about a 20 minute walk from the center of downtown (30 minute from the Convention Center). However, if you hop on the Green Line and get off at Baylor, it’s a 5 minute walk.
NB: Currently, both the NMRT social (5:30pm-7:30pm) & the After Hours Social (10:00pm – ??) are scheduled to be at the City Tavern (1402 Main St.).
