We're attempting to maintain the grand old tradition getting drunk (sorry, "networking") with enthusiasm (although without the 70s style, in most cases.)

Also, being the only guy and gay in a class of women did make it a problem!!

He used to be director of the library at the Medical College of Virginia, then later took a job at Oklahoma State. The cocktail pretty much went with him.

They weren't exactly party animals. The singles were a fairly repressed bunch and also not much into partying. The class that started as I was finishing up seemed like they were more fun. Where I'm working now there is a group of us who go out for drinks regularly. It's apparently a matter of which group of librarian you find yourself with.

Drexel in the 90s -- pretty tame, too. Night classes in Philly didn't generate a lot of after-class hangin' out anyway except for those with an appetite for danger-- not a large cohort among the library crowd.

After three hours of discussing Cutter Tables, who wouldn't want to? Unfortunately, I'm only able to get 2 or 3 people out with me on a regular basis- most people would rather be home with their cats. Boo. This could have something to do with the fact that I'm doing my program in a goddamn Catholic school... I stupidly went into Library School thinking that people would want to party.

But that was only at the last class, it also was cocktails but that was only because Trader Vic's had $5 Mai Tai's that knocked you out. We acctually had a bit of alcohol before catalogging.

Library school. Library. School. *sigh* Didn't we design an organizational system of many pleasures, many delights? Didn't we control our vocabulary of feeling good, and automate the retrieval of happy information? Yes. This we did. Ah. Library school. Library.

I could be the 2nd from the left in the front row, except I have never been in Ann Arbor. However, I did meet my wife at a library school (off-campus) Halloween Party. Yes, she is a librarian, too. We were set up. Married 30 years in September! At the University of Illinois in the mid-70s the preferred beverage was Stroh’s in long-neck bottles (returnables, in the days before deposits).
