1. Invitation to cotorrear
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Subject: BookExpo and ALA
From: Pamela Conroy <pconroy@nslsilus.org>
Bruce: ALA is coming soon and with
the holiday I figure there is no time to lose. If anyone wants to
meet up at one of the scheduled events or an event of our own making,
can you please give them my contact info:
Pam Conroy
pconroy@nslsilus.org (I only check
my email when I am at work)
Work tel: (847) 432-0216, voicemail
151
Home tel: (773) 777-6992 (I have
voicemail but it takes 6 rings)
I will be at work July 5-7 and the
11th and 12th. I will not be at work on the 3rd (yippee!).
I have noted that Cecilia is coing
to ALA, so I will send her an email. I wish I could report on BookExpo,
but I never made it there myself. Of course, I am kicking myself
now, but at the time, I just didn't feel like going.
Saludos, y feliz dia de independencia!
-Pam

2. SOL Site Newly Navigable AND
Explorable
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you had problems finding your
way around our site this week, you were not alone. The bugs have
been banished, though; now it's even possible to see there a handsome
photo of the dynamic El Vez.

3. José Emilio Pacheco Birthday
Quiz
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We noted in SOL 23 that today is
his birthday, and that Las batallas en el desierto was one
of the titles selected for Mexico City's recent "Para Leer
en Libertad" book giveaway (for a good article on this remarkable
event, see <http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2000/abr00/000430/cul1.html>)
but nobody has yet come up with the group (HINT! They're
from Mexico City & took their name from a hometown business)
who recorded a song (HINT! It's from their first album,
released in 1992) inspired by Pacheco's novel. The song's opening
lines are at the top of this page. C'mon, folks! Regis Philbin
himself couldn't make this any easier!
