Summer Fun at ALA in Vegas! (by Kristin Levine)
I'm not sure I can quite describe how much fun I had at ALA in Las Vegas this year. It was my first time attending and I met so many great people.
The trip started with a dinner for librarians and bloggers attended Jacqueline Woodson, Joan Bauer and myself. We goofed around a bit afterwards taking photos.
The next morning I had a great time signing books at the Penguin booth...
... and after that Tracy Holczer (from Smack Dab as well!) and I had a delicious lunch with our editor, the fabulous Stacey Barney.
After a lovely Penguin dinner Stacey and I went on yet another adventure - salsa dancing!! It was the best deal in town - for $10 we got a live band, a dance floor and a free drink.
Finally, Stacey and I decided we simply must make a midnight visit to the latest Vegas attraction, the High Roller, a huge Ferris that takes you high up over the strip. We even saw fireworks!
A big thanks to Stacey, Tracy and everyone else - especially all the Penguin folks working behind the scenes - who made the visit so much fun!!
