• We admit it. We’re horrible, horrible people. We lied.

  We said we’d update our xanga weblog with pics from the LibNow
  conference throughout the weekend, and we didn’t do it.
  Sooooorrrrrrryyyyy.

  But here’s the link to where you can check out some pics from the conference – http://www.defendanimals.org/libnow/gallery/

   We were having crazy technical difficulties at the LibNow conference.
  In all of our past events, we’ve never had so many
  technical/audio-visual problemos. First, the registration file
  containing all the names and info of all the LibNow registrants was
  corrupted and we had to get a new one through Mollyguard (the online
  company we use to help facilitate our online registrations). Then our
  laptop went crazy, then the printer. So we weren’t even able to
  register and check folks in on the first night of our conference.

  (“Well, then why didn’t you guys do that way before the conference?” -
  you may ask. We would if we could – tons of people register at the last
  minute online on the day of the conference, and even just a few minutes
  before the conference [yeah, we're talking about you Andrea from
  Bakersfield! ]  – so we always have to print out our registration file and name tags just before the conference.)

  Hope you enjoy the pics from the conference.

  Also, you may think we are crazy, but we’ve already started planning the next Liberation Now! national student animal rights conference in 2005. The next Liberation Now! conference will be held in Chicago, IL in November 2005 – it will be our very first national conference in the Midwest! We’re super duper excited!!

  And yep, it’s the morning of our first Demand Liberation regional student animal rights action conference
  - we can’t wait, it’ll be so much fun! Like we’ve said, at the
  regionals, we really, really get to sit down, meet, and chat with many
  of the activists. It’s super cool and incredibly inspiring.

  Oh,
  we also got these cool wallet thingys from a local artist in NYC. It’s
  made from recycled juice cartons! (And yes, they have Silk soymilk
  carton ones too!) Aren’t they cool? You can win one at our current SARA E-News contest.

  Ok, tata. Gotta get ready for the Philly conference. Demand Liberation!!!!!!
