Keepin' it real.

Frenchie is conferencing it up in Chi-Town this week, and Sweet Pickles is reminded of a debate he witnessed several years ago.  Early on at a technology 'summer camp' for visual resources curators, participants were considering whether practitioners should hold joint annual meetings with art librarians, or convene separately each year.  The discussion was pretty dorky, for the most part, until one dude mentioned to us other smartasses sitting at the back of the room, that convening separately would cut the pool of potential conference hook-ups in half.  Hey, if you want people to attend your conference, you need to be thinking about things like that.  I'm just sayin'.
