Well, Folks. It's officially over. BEA ended yesterday at approximately 7pm for me. After 5 days of networking with publishers, authors, book sellers, and book bloggers, I believe I am suffering from the BEA blues.
How do you know if you are suffering from the BEA Blues?
*If you find yourself stopped at the front door of a bookstore by security because you filled a tote bag with books that you had not paid for.... you might be suffering from the BEA Blues.
*If you approach random people on the street or behind retail counters, introduce yourself by your blog name, and ask if you can trade business cards... you might be suffering from the BEA Blues.
*If you stand in line at the deli counter and ask the associate who cut your turkey to sign the bag ... you might be suffering from the BEA Blues.
* If you see a line of people waiting somewhere and ask "which author are you in line for?"... you might be suffering from the BEA Blues.
*If you woke up this morning and walked over to the Javits Center to peek inside it's empty glass windows... you might be suffering from the BEA Blues.
*If you are still using the #BEA11 or #Bookbloggercon hashtags for Twitter... you might be suffering from the BEA Blues.
Go ahead and add to this list by commenting below with your own "You might be suffering from the BEA Blues" creations! How about tweeting them under the hashtag #BEAblues?
While I distract you with that, over the next few days, I will be writing out my BEA11 recap, which will be broken out into three posts: The Authors/Publishers, The Bloggers, and The Books!!!
So funny! Love this!
ReplyDeleteShare the love by tweeting to the hashtag #BEAblues and dropping your own here. Let's get thing rolling :)
ReplyDeleteIf you find yourself waking early and hurrying to the train (even though you've got nowhere to go) you might be suffering from the BEA blues.
ReplyDeleteFunny idea!
If you feel restless at the end of the day because you haven't walked 5 hours and the equivalent of several miles, lugging an ever growing tote bag of books. That's the BEA blues!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to keep the #BEA and #bookbloggercon hashtags alive for a bit, still building the Twitter list so I can stay in touch with everyone!
