Hey, I'll be at BEA too and could meet up on Wednesday!
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We'll be waiting for you with open arms, Scola! And Kate, too!

I'm so excited to see you all!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sorry I can't make it, kids. Have a witty rejoinder for me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yikes - I knew the Algonquin was expensive, but I hadn't realized the scale of it until just now talking to a co-worker. We're talking $20 per cocktail. Just a heads-up in case anyone is on a budget!

Because books.
Oh my. I just checked the bar at the Royalton, and drinks are about as much there, too. (Gorgeous space, though.)
I'm going to send a group email to everyone who said they were planning to be there on Wednesday, so we can exchange cell numbers.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
We're talking $20 per cocktail.
Whoa! In the right neighborhood, you could get cock and/or tail for that much.

I am happy to go some place less likely to pick our pockets. And my email is robin@fogelson.com.
