Waiting for Program

Hello there, I'm at the McCormick Place West Conference Center in Chicago waiting for the start of "Effective Safety and Security Practices in Today's Public Library". To illustrate that I have professional priorities, I am attending this instead of "Pride and Passion: The African-American Baseball Experience". That's a program on baseball. I want you all to remember that. In all seriousness, that program does sound very interesting. It highlights several authors on the African-American baseball experience, including Jackie Robinson's daughter, Sharon. It also highlights a traveling exhibit on the history of African-Americans in baseball, including the Negro Leagues, the integration of major league baseball and their roles today. (Does our library want to be a stop on the tour?) There is a large display in the lobby which I took pictures of and did not do justice. And standing near me while I was taking pictures was none other than Sharon Robinson herself. I admit I got a tear in my eye. This woman's father was a hero to so many and here she was standing so close to me and the shy part of me came out and said nothing.
I just helped a very nice librarian with an issue on her laptop. It took a bit and we were both stumped but doing some searches on google helped to solve her problem. And we didn't even have to call our computer librarian!
In other news, I saw two men dressed up as the Blues Brothers walk by me in the hallway. (This is in Chicago). I'm curious what that was about, but a security guard gave them a funny look and started following them so apparently they're not part of the decor, here. I wonder if they're ALA attendees. If so, those seem like fun librarians.
