Too bad about SA. If the city doesn’t want ALA, that’s the way it is, but it sure was a great place to have Midwinter–for the conferees, that is. At least now I know why.

They decided that they really don’t care about ALA. I was on the Exec. Board the last time we were there. San Antonio became harder for staff to work with, they booked other big events on the “shoulder nights” which caused huge problems for ALA with the rooming lists.

You may remember that was one of the first times that ALA had web booking for rooms. There was a lot of stir about how quickly the rooms filled up, and how many were on waiting lists, especially those who were coming in early and/or staying late (like most of Council!).

I’ll also remind you that you had a “bar event” there where you posted where and when and invited people to stop by (on Monday night). I remember sitting and chatting with you and Jessamyn West and other in the Menger bar.
