Officially registered for the
George Wright Society Conference, so apparently I'm really going. Exciting! March 14-18, and I even signed up for a field trip, so should be very fun!
Only happens every 2 years, so I am always waiting with bated breath. It's a major dose of park/open space preservation edification and HUGEly social, tho' I know very few folks from the west going, this year (many NPSers living under a travel ceiling that's VERY low).
These things are very exciting for a chatty biologist working largely from her home office in the sticks. I've already started trying on outfits; I get to dress up in real professional people clothes and everything! (says the woman who is presently wearing jeans, trail running shoes, a black viva la evolution t-shirt (courtesy of AAAS), brown sweatshirt (ooh, just realized it's on backwards), a down jacket, and a bright blue fuzzy hat. STYLIN'!)
Spent some quality time at Zappos yesterday, if you know what I mean...
=)
Are there any meetings you get to go to, now and then, that you get excited about? DO tell. Any pre-meeting rituals? Mid-meeting survival strategies/traditions?
