If you plan to be at BEA next month....

[lagilman]

I'd love to meet up with folk, maybe pool our resources in finding things/people, or just to grab a drink and gossip, er, network.

My pass is only for Friday (at the moment), but I will be in the city all weekend from Thursday night to Sunday evening....

e-mail me at dymk(at)lycos(dot)com or post here to organize...

Shit. I wanted to be there, and was planning to be there, and now I have a husband with no job, no income, and I aint goin' anywhere.

Pisses me off.

when Kincaid 1 comes out. there will be a Deb-force gale blowing through BEA...

From your lips to my 88-year-old editor's ears. I am STILL WAITING on her acceptance of our acceptance. I have no knuckles left.

(and psst, that's Kinkaid with two K's....)

And once we have the firm times down for your Borderlands reading, I can send out the big evite to my local peeps. I'm thinking galettes and chocolat liegois afterward.

I've got BEA on the brain today from trying to set up all these "just for a second" meetings.

But I am around and free during BEA - when not roaming the halls so if there's a plan, count me in. I'll likely need a drink if I run into the editor who said this to me today: "indexes? oh well - you know, there's not a lot of time for that kind of thing anymore."*

* yes - I swear it. And from an employee at a major educational publisher.

we can exchange production shorcut horror stories....

it's a date

[nick-kaufmann.livejournal.com]

I might be around for a get-together. What are actual dates of BEA?

[lagilman]

first weekend of June.

[nick-kaufmann.livejournal.com]

Hrm. It looks like right now I'm free Friday night, Saturday night or Sunday, but Saturday during the day is taken up with my mom's 70th birthday party.

Saturday night I have an industry shindig to dig at, but otherwise...

[nick-kaufmann.livejournal.com]

Cool. Put me on your NYC contact list for when you're here and hopefully we'll be able to meet up.

I'll be there and running around like the proverbial chicken sans head. Three conferences that week, but BEA is definitely on tap for Friday. I'm getting into the city on Wednesday at some point.

[lagilman]

kewl. I'm comandeering my folks' apartment (they're in boston that weekend), so we should be able to meet up... maybe sunday brunch?

[ex-fashioni.livejournal.com]

Yarghity! I leave Sunday late AM. And Saturday I'm actually over in your usual neck of the woods for a conference in New Haven. GYAH.

I've requested to go, but have not received confirmation from the office.

I could go on the weekend, on my own dime, I suppose, but it is better if I get to do it on the library time and dollar.

[lagilman]

let me know...

[shana.livejournal.com]

Twisted my ankle yesterday, so I will not be going.

It should be okay for normal walking by the end of the week, but not for the kind of abuse it would get at BEA.

[lagilman]

Ow! Heal fast!

I managed to rate a press pass for the entire weekend (exhibit hall, no programs). So I imagine I'll be walking the whole bloody thing, grabbing what needs to be grabbed. But I'll definitely be needing a break at some point, so a meet-up of some flavor sounds good.
