It's time once again to hop! When I saw this on my google reader I got all excited, it's been a long time since I participated, and the question is one I definitely want to blog about!
Are you attending the Book Blogger Convention (aka Bea Bloggers) and/or Book Expo America in New York City in June? If not, will you participate in the online event called Armchair BEA?
I am attending BEA this year. It'll be my very first time, and my first real trip to NYC. I've wanted to go for the last few years, but it just seemed financially impossible. Luckily I get to share the costs with my friend, Kim, and Canadian bloggers, Cindy and Kellie, who we'll be rooming with in New York.
I'm going up on the Sunday before BEA with Kim and Steph- we're taking Megabus.
It's double decker, so yes, I will be pretending I'm on the Knight Bus.
I'm doing the Book Blogger Convention on Monday, the breakfast with John Green, and maybe Teen Carnival.
We're planning on hitting the Hard Rock Cafe when we get there, and at some point I will visit Central Park, The Strand, the Met, and Grey's Papayas. And whatever else my blogger friends want to do. There will be some subway riding, and some Maureen Johnson stalking.
I'm still in shock that I'm finally going, but I can't wait. Mostly I'm excited about meeting some of ya'll, although the authors and books are a strong draw. Can't wait for June! Which is weird, since May is my birthday month and now I can't wait to get it over with. ;)
So who all is going, who's all been and who's doing Armchair BEA?
I am soooo excited!!! It's going to be AWESOME! We have to go to CookShop, because it is my FAVORITE! SOOO good. And we should walk on the highline after because it's calorie intensive.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be so fun. And there will definitely be some MJ stalking. :)
So glad to hear you're able to go this year! BEA is made of awesome, so I'm sure you'll have a great time! Hope we run into each other somewhere along the way...probably standing in line! :)
