Well I have 20 minutes to do a post from New Orleans. Not enough time. So here is a tiny FAQ about last night’s opening ceremonies. As you will know from reading Cynthia’s account yesterday, the Children’s Institute opener was a costume party.
\nDid you get a chance to meet up with any of your fellow\u00a0ShelfTalkers, Kenny?<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n
\nWhat about Meghan?<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI see, but what about Leslie, wasn’t she at the conference too?<\/em>
\nI did get to see Leslie later on. She, Cynthia, and two of Cynthia’s Astra board pals talked book and toys after the reception! It was such a terrific get together that I forgot to take a photo.
\nAlso, is that a costume you are wearing or are you really Reid Fleming?<\/em>
\nNo costumes involved. Cynthia really is Mary Poppins. Meghan is really Meghan. I am really The World’s Toughest Milkman.
\nOkay did your nemesis\/pal Judith Rosen try and stop you from congratulating Louise Marshall, the\u00a0reception’s costume champion?<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nShe absolutely did! Judith informed me that I couldn’t report on the costume party because she was already doing that for PW, not to mention Cynthia’s involvement.
\nWere you able to fight past her?<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI was! It was my duty. Louise was on the Fall Indies Introduce Panel with me and it was a clear duty to fight across to her and mark the occasion! Well done Louise! Absolutely!
