Can't reschedule Wednesday, so how about an oh-so-sophisticated gathering at some bar for drinks at 5? I vote the Algonquin [link] , where we can get one pricey drink and pretend to be in the '30s. Plus, it's got comfy places to sit.
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I work across the street from the Algonquin - ok if I join you guys?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I probably won't be able to duck out of work that early. I'll get there as soon as I can; probably closer to 6:00.

Hey, I'll be at BEA too and could meet up on Wednesday!

Because books.
I will hang out and wait, no problem. That's an EXCELLENT idea. And I was thinking of you, Jess -- I didn't know if you checked this thread.
Fun! I will hopefully be loaded down with a big bag of giveaway books from BEA, too. If anyone can think of a big summer book they're looking forward to, let me know and I'll see if I can snag one. (Also fall, I guess -- mine is fall, so they might be there, too.)
Kate P.! No way! Awesome.

We'll be waiting for you with open arms, Scola! And Kate, too!

BEA is in NYC this year? I can't wait until it returns to CHicago, because I'll go again, this time as a "librarian" instead of "bookseller." Probably won't get the attention at the booths that I did as a Waldenbooks employee, but oh, well.
