I am in Oakland California!!! I'm here for the NWSA conference. (Natl women's Studies Assoc). So far I've been to some good sessions and some where I just sat and knit and daydreamed. TOmmorrow looks like a couple of interesting sessions and then I'm spending the rest of the weekedn in SanFrancisco looking for City Lights book store, yarn stores and lesbians. Here's some pictures I took with my new digital camera. This cheapo thing has a bad focus. One shot is of the bay at sunset and waaaaay in the corner on the horizon line I could see Golden Gate Bridge but the camera just got an out focus shot of a bunch of crane looking things. My room in this hotel is in the corner and quiet but the wifi stops right at my door. So I'm sitting in the lobby. There is only one small 5 foot square spot of wifi at the conference center (a conference center with no wifi?) I guess if they had it all over the center for free then they wouldn't be ablr to charge us for it. Anyway here's some phots.
