Who’s going to the BEA?  Please comment, so I can look for you there!
Last year I attended the first ArmChair BEA.  We had a lot of fun and this year it is suppose to bigger and better.  If you can’t go to the BEA I highly recomend The ArmChair BEA.
I put away money all year so that I can attend this years BEA in New York City.  I is amazing how it came together for me.  My brother found out that I wanted to go and called his best friend who lives in NYC and he offered his keys to his apartment as he will be out of town.  Accommodations was going to be my biggest expense, so I then had no excuses not to go.
Not only will this be my first time at the BEA and Book Blogger’s Convention but it will be my first time at NYC.  I am excited and overwhelmed all at the same time.
I am going to NYC early, May 19th so I can get my bearing and get some sightseeing in.  My 19 year old niece, Rachel is going with me, although she won’t be attending the BEA.  I’m looking forward to doing some sightseeing with her and taking in a show.

There have been some tips for the BEA from bloggers that have been there before.  I have been reading them over and thought it would be nice to post links here, for everyone who is going this year:
