It is the first meeting of the IMLS tech grantees and it is going to be held in Chicago so as to give us a chance to explore all the super awesome things that CPL has done with the funds and give inspiration to drive success for our own communities. I wasn't sure whether or not I would get to go on the trip as only 3-4 or of the 7-8 people on the committee would be able to come. Though I think few were as keen as me to head to Chicago in February, I couldn't be more thrilled. They gave me the option of heading out a couple of days earlier in case I wanted to stay and visit friends/family/etc. Lucky me - one of my best pals from my Austin days has moved up north while her husband is attending Kellogg for his MBA. Just $1.75 and a one hour bus ride away - we are already making some plans to maximize the 30 hours I have in the area before my meetings start. Any suggestions from you folk what should be on the itinerary? No doubt pizza and the art institute - I am also thinking some cool pics up Willis tower? We will see. Though I have to admit, it helps that I have to spend a lot of time at the public library there for work. That saves my leisure time a bit since I would probably want to take some time there anyway.
Three cheers for new adventures in new places!
