It just occurred to me to start seeing who's going to BEA. I'll be there the entire time this year, for the first time. In the past, Hannah (Children's Book World's owner) would take anyone who wanted to go up to NYC for the day, because we had to have enough shop coverage. But since I'm flying from St. Louis this year, I'm coming in on Wednesday and leaving Sunday night. I'm planning to attend the children's bookseller programming on Thursday, on behalf of my current employer (Pudd'nHead Books) and then attend the show the next three days. I have no idea what I'll be doing at night, but it'd be nice to know who's going to be there so I can try to meet as many people as possible. If you're going and want to try to run into each other, post a comment or email me at kidliterate at gmail dot com!
I'm speaking on a panel. :) Hope to see you there.
