I WAS in Minneapolis

The second ARLIS/NA + VRA joint conference was held in Minneapolis, March 24-28, 2011. I was on the program for the first day of presentations on a panel called "Beyond the Silos of the LAMS..." talking about how we are developing our curriculum in Cultural Heritage Informatics.

Turns out that I must confess my ignorance - Minneapolis is a great place to visit, has a very active arts community in all areas and the star of all for me was the gorgeous Guthrie Theatre, in a new-ish building designed by Jean Nouvel.

I saw 2 productions there in my short stay and thoroughly enjoyed them both.  More on this trip later. Just putting in a place holder really.

Home again

After a smooth but long journey I'm happy to be back in Natick with cat and husband. I managed to limp through the endless miles of Heathrow - I discovered that the name Heathrow actually comes from the old Anglo-Saxon meaning "must walk nine miles in every direction" - I wish I could foresee a long week with my feet alternately soaking and being massaged but the future looks a lot less sybaritic! Once I get my few pictures downloaded I'll write a final summarizing post and pjt this trip to rest. Cheers a d stay tuned. M
