I see it goes from 23-28, but cant seem to figure out if its all that important to get there on the 23rd. Does much happen the first day? The last? To save on hotel costs I’m just trying to figure out the least amount of nights I can be there and see the most with my budget. I am thinking of arriving the evening of the 23rd. Any thoughts on the importance/non importance of day one?

If you are feeling lost, don’t forget you can stop by the Ambassador Desks in Registration or the Memberhsip Pavilion, booth #3034 in the exhibits, for advice and sage counsel. Also, you can Text-an-Ambassador from anywhere for a personal reply. 411 via http://wikis.ala.org/annual2009/index.php/Conference_HelpDesk

See you very soon. – John

If you want to meet some folks from the open source community and have a light nibble, Equinox Software is hosting a social event.

Very true about the shoes, but I disagree about staying at one end of Chicago or the other all day. Figure out where you want to be, and then make it happen — just build in lots of time. Consider cab shares — 3 in a cab can be fast and inexpensive.
