Press Release: OCLC and Talis Co-Operating

Paul and I had a great time last week over at ALA in Washington. One of the highlights, it has to be said, was OCLC’s generous Blogger’s Salon. They hired a suite in the hotel for the night and provided copious quantities of beer and wine for the assembled masses.
George Needham and Eric Childress were doing a sterling job behind the bar, but it’s important with any event to have a change of crew ready, so when we saw George and Eric looking like they could do with a break it was my pleasure to step in and give them a hand.
We met quite a few of the OCLC folks that night, as well as Libraryman, RochelleJustRochelle, Heidi, Blake, Casey, Andrea, Aaron, Michelle and many others - it was great to put faces to some of the names we read every day. Great blogs and great people.
George, Eric - I know it was only helping you guys out with the bar, but it felt good, right? Maybe we could do some more stuff together? Drop us an email; rob.styles@talis.com

Paul — thanks for the kind comments, and a special thanks to Rob for giving me a break from bartending (not that tending bar for such a delightful company as the event gathered was not a pleasure — it was; but it was also nice to be able to mingle). It was great to see you both. I hope we’ll have many more opportunities in the near future to have a cool drink and a warm chat. Cheers
