Sarah and I are off for New Orleans this morning for the American Library Asssociation's annual conference. Any of you attending the conference (and you're missing out if you aren't, because it's always a blast, which is to say that there are a lot of free cocktail parties) could possibly be interested in this information, although honestly I understand if you'd rather go to book signings by, like, Judy Blume or Scott Westerfeld or David Levithan:

Sunday
10 - 11 AM: Signing copies of "Looking for Alaska" at Permabound (booth 1847)
2-3 PM: Signing "Alaska" at the Penguin booth (1549)

Monday
11-Noon Signing at the Penguin booth again (still booth 1549)

Tuesday
Printz Award reception. I have attended this a few times, but it should be especially fun this year.

Other than that, I'm just going to hang around the convention center and try to snag free galleys, which seems to be the main extracurricular activity at these conventions. I will report back on any promising finds post haste.
