Wendi, of slumberland.org,gets to keep her house! I don't think it's actually on her website yet, but these days the only way to be weblogger #1 is to log something before it happens. If you see Wendi and Jason at The Speakeasy, be sure to buy them a latte.

Here's her page on their home. Librarians were trying to take over? I mean, really, Librarians?

Dammit, Joe, you scooped me. :) I just got home from a little celebratory dinner with Jason. I'm still a little overwhelmed by it all, but eventually I'll post more about it on my site.

It was definitely a weird day. I was interviewed in my house by folks from KING5 TV, then when I went down to the library meeting to meet Jason, the live remote truck was parked there. It was there because of this story, and they found out about it because I e-mailed them a press release and they read my website. It was really an odd feeling to know that the media fuss was partially because of something we did.

not all librarians were trying to take her house...

We here at librarian.net were hoping Wendy could
keep her house. Lattes on me next time you're at the Speakeasy, Wendy!

Nothing against Librarians in general, Jess - It's just the EVIL LIBRARY FROM DIMENSION X... You can tell the difference because all of the evil librarians have goatees.
