Okay. Whew. Post number 2 (dos,\u00a0<\/em>I say in my head). Because it\u2019s almost 6 a.m. and we\u2019re running on the fumes of conference adrenaline over here at our recharge station (otherwise known as the Philadelphia 201 hotel). No more parenthetical comments from this point on, I promise.<\/p>\n

A lot to report on from yesterday and a lot of it\u2019s not \u201clive\u201d. After reading my ALSC mentor Rosemary\u2019s amazing post about graphic novels at #alamw20, I\u2019m learning that a great live post doesn\u2019t have to be written in the moment, per se. I also learned from talking to her that a laptop may be easier for blogging than this here smart phone… TBC.<\/p>\n

Having a mentor like Rosemary is GAME-CHANGING. We checked out the Scholastic Truth & Bravery event together. Conference buddies, friend reunions and mentors have been a highlight of my conference so far.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s some video footage from the Scholastic event:<\/p>\n

Checkout the digital media discussion group I\u2019m leading today in 111-B from 2:30-3:30. I\u2019ll also be attempting to live-stream it from my personal YouTube and live tweet it from the FMRT (Film and Media Roundtable) twitter.<\/p>\n

Loved walking around Philly with my husband and baby yesterday. We grabbed insta-pizza from &Pizza after realizing we couldn\u2019t bring baby Hunter to the EveryLibrary event, which took place at Howling Moons. It\u2019s as loud there as the name might seem to indicate. Go figure.<\/p>\n

&Pizza was great because I got to share it with loved ones. Daddy headed back to the hotel and gave momma a rare night out with one of my best girls (the run-in friend from my last conferences post, dear friend from Syracuse and a bridesmaid in my wedding).<\/p>\n

Ok. Time to end this 4-6 a.m. conference adrenaline rush. I\u2019m now going to attempt sleep. Fingers are crossed for a 6-8 a.m. recharge of my batteries before returning to conferencelandia.<\/p>\n

Much more to report about yesterday and the day ahead, but for now it will have to wait.<\/p>\n

PS. Happy Chinese New Year! My family and I got to see a dragon dance in the city. Baby Hunter loved the drums. Daddy and Hunter had a little dance in the park.<\/p>\n
