So, who else is for sure going to BEA this year? Because it looks like I am!
I wanted to go so badly last year but it just would not have worked out with school but now that I am in college I will be out of classes by then and everything will work out perfectly. The only problem right now is that I need to figure out all the details.
I have read pretty much every post about tips for BEA that I have been able to find and I have been asking everyone for ideas. I may have even gone a little overboard. It’s just, this is something that I want to be prepared for.
So my questions for everyone that is planning on going to BEA.
1- Are you rooming with someone?
2- Have you been to BEA in the past?
3- What day do you plan on getting into the city?
Also, if you are looking for a roommate, there is a great post about that over at The Neverending Shelf. You can check it out here.
Oh and if you don’t feel comfortable commenting on the post, feel free to email me. I am also currently looking for a roommate or two so let me know if you would be interested! I am a little nervous because one of the conditions of me getting to go is that I get a roommate and this is what I call waiting till the last minute. Oh well, at least I didn’t wait till May 24. =]
Yay! I am so glad that you are able to come. This should be a lot of fun.
Right now, I am finalizing my roommate stuff. I have one, possibly two all set up. It is just a matter of getting everything all finished.
This will be my first BEA, but I think it is going to be so exciting.
My plans right now are to get into town on Sunday, so that we can do a little sightseeing. And just hang out with anyone that I can. We are planning to leave possibly late Thursday or maybe early Friday. Again it just depends.
YAY you’re going!
This will be my first time but I’m excited! If you want a cheap place to stay, try the Hostelling International (http://hinewyork.org/). It goes from 30-50 dollars the night, but you bunk with other people. Maybe if some bloggers get together, you can stay in the same room.
I have changed my dates, lol. I’ll be there from the 24-29. Will try to squeeze in a lot of sightseeing in those few days.
I’ll be going but I’m not firm on which day I’ll be arriving. I have no plans to bunk with others but I’d love to have a roomie to save on cost.
Although, things change so who knows what will happen in the next few months but I hope my attending doesn’t!
Enjoy your time there. It’s a lot to take in.
I wish I could go. 🙁
I am so jealous of everyone who is going to BEA! I am way out in California and it’s almost the end of school for us so I’ll be preparing for textbook collection (ugh). Enjoy yourself!
I’ll be going to BEA. I’ll be in the city from Tuesday night to Friday night, checking out on Saturday. I’m rooming with 2 other bloggers and we’re looking for a fourth person to split the cost. (Female, 21+). I can’t fricken wait. I’ve been stalking the advice posts too. LOL I might as well pack my luggage now, I’m so excited.
I’m not exactly sure how I’ll get to BEA yet, it looks like by bus might be my most viable option, as the bus leaves directly from my hometown and goes straight to Port Authority.
