BEA Schedule of Events

So, the BEA Bloggers Conference and Book Expo America 2012 are almost here!

**happy dance**

I thought it would be a good idea to post my tentative schedule, mainly to get myself organized, and to find out if other bloggers will be at the same places as me!

So, here it is.. Here is what I am planning to do at BEA.. Things will probably change. My schedule is incredibly ambitious and I’ll need to have my running shoes on. Caffeine and extra deodorant, anyone?! tee-hee-hee

If you are a blogger and want to get in touch/swap numbers to text/etc, please shoot me an e-mail. If any bloggers are getting together to hang out for dinner or to sight-see, please let me know! I’d love to join you!

Sunday June 3

Arrival and Hotel Check-In; Meet my roomies for the week, Bekka from Pretty Deadly Reviews and Monica from Bibliophilic Book Blog. No plans for Sunday other than stretching and getting reading for the next four days! LOL! If anyone wants to grab dinner, let me know! I’m getting in around 3pm.

*****

Phew! It looks like a lot, but we will see what actually happens once I’m on the BEA floor! The Javits is ginormous, so I may not get from one place to another in the allotted time.

Thanks to those who filled out the form about meeting up. I’ll be getting in touch with you this week!

The countdown is on! Tick-tock, tick-tock….
