I am from Houston, but have lost track of the number of times I have been to San Antonio. It is one of my favorite Texas cities. Be sure to visit one of the local Mexican restaurants while you are in town, meander down the Riverwalk, and soak in the atmosphere. The Radical Reference group has set up an informational wiki on San Antonio for Midwinter. It contains many good suggestions on getting around, eating, and leisure time. The Convention and Visitor’s Bureau of San Antonio also has a nice site with a variety of suggestions for out-of-towners. If you have time, I suggest taking the trolley to El Mercado, where you can shop and eat in a Mexican style market square.

What’s Happening, Midwinter 2006
By popular demand, I have uploaded the marvelous “What’s Happening” preconference update that until Roy Tennant slipped me a box of Godiva chocolates was a strictly hush-hush document shared only within the ALA Chamber of Secrets, otherwise known as Council. It’s a fascinating glance inside ALA and a great cheat sheet for getting the most out of ALA conferences. Thanks to Mary Ghikas et al. for producing this report.

TTT with the Experts – Meeting Agenda
This year at Midwinter, the TTT morning meeting with the experts will be more of a traditional business meeting than a discussion of trends.
BIGWIG Meeting Sat 1:30
BIGWIG has its IG meeting scheduled for Saturday, 1:30-3:30, RIV Bonham. Do you have agenda items? One perennial favorite, btw, is “why don’t we post between conferences?” I have my own 2 cents on that but I feel committed to placing the item on the agenda since it does come up a lot. Karen G. Schneider BIGWIG co-chair
