- Interested! It's a bit of a ways for me from SF, so I'm not sure yet if I can be there, but sounds like fun. Dreamyshade (talk) 22:55, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
Since it is a Monday, it'll be a bit of a stretch to get it to work, but I'll try to make it happen. Certainly interested! Mz7 (talk) 16:22, 8 October 2019 (UTC)- I'm one of the hosts, a librarian at Stanford, and thrilled to be here and to welcome everyone! Glen
Regrets
edit- Ah welp, as it turns out, it was indeed too much of a stretch. I will try to make the next one! Mz7 (talk) 21:44, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
