Ten Cool Conference Perks

IL 2007 - Antique Car Show 1 - image by Marie KaddellIL 2007 - Antique Car Show 2 - image by Marie Kaddell

Beyond the programs and events at Internet Librarian 2007, I cooked up this list of top ten things that I found interesting, remarkable, or just rather surprising during my stay in Monterey for the conference.

  1. Old Fisherman’s Wharf was close to the Conference Center and provided a nice place to stroll, eat, and shop during lunch or after the last program was done each day.
  2. The antique car show that was held beside the Wharf sparkled in the sunshine. Those cars were dazzling.
  3. The magnitude 5.6 earthquake on Tuesday night only disturbed my east-coast sensibilities after I realized it had occurred. I thought someone was kicking my chair during the evening program. How rude. Once I discovered the truth however, I was a little shaken (no pun intended).
  4. There are hummingbirds in Monterey. I actually saw one up close and fluttering.
  5. You can hear the sea lions barking down by the water but I never saw them.
  6. There’s a lot of seaweed on the beach in Monterey.
  7. The cool people who dressed up for Halloween at the conference got my vote for super creativity.
  8. Those brave costumed folks and the pumpkin carving contests at the local hotels made up for not getting to watch the live Ghosthunters show on the SciFi channel that ran for a whole six hours on Halloween night.
  9. The best thing since sliced bread is a good conference wiki.
  10. In the end, there’s no place like home.
