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.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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

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.

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!

Whoa! In the right neighborhood, you could get cock and/or tail for that much.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am happy to go some place less likely to pick our pockets. And my email is robin@fogelson.com.

It's a shame Divine Bar closed - they would have been perfect.

I'm doing a hundred things today and tomorrow, and I haven't been in that neighborhood in too long to think of anywhere else to go -- I'll send the email in a minute, but I'll let you all decide where we meet, if that's okay. I'd love to go to the Algonquin, and I don't mind ordering an iced tea instead of a drink.
We could also meet there and then take the party elsewhere once everyone arrives.

Just to clarify - Algonquin is ok with me, I just wanted to make sure nobody fainted at the price list on Wednesday night.

I'd like to do it for the historical aspect, mainly. I am planning on ordering a Diet Coke. Maybe we can do one drink there and then decide what we want to from there?
