Kansas librians put on the first Library Camp Kansas, an unconference. It was great fun, and stimulated some great discussion! This video shows my day. I'm thinking I need to learn the fine art of narration a bit better... thoughts?

The People's Party

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 01:41:00 +0000

Found a band in Austin, TX that set up in a converted moving van. The drummer (and probably their sound system) was stored in the bottom, and most of the band members stood on top. Pretty nifty set-up!
