I’m struggling through ALA’s “Event Planner” at the moment, trying to figure out a plan of attack for this weekend’s conference. I cannot express strongly enough how much I wish I could easily export this to my Google calendar! But I guess once I have everything in the event planner I can just copy it manually…

Anyway, here is my tentative schedule. I haven’t looked at any of this on a map, so some of it may be logistically impossible! Italics are possibilities.
