What have I done? What have I done!!!

Well, I have finally registered for BEA.  I totally meant to register back in March, but somehow never got around to it.  There was much anxiety and gnashing of teeth, especially when I needed to print out my receipt, but my wireless connection has been having issues connecting to the printer in the other room. 


Of course, hubby came in and just hit click on the print menu.  Believe me, I have tried to print and have stared at documents sitting in cue for hours and not printing, but he comes along and 'click', my receipt printed immediately.  What the freak is up with that?  See?  Machines hate me.


Anyway, now the long arduous task begins of preparing for the big event.  I need to know where I'm going, who I'm seeing and mapping everything out.  Not to mention looking on line for event swag, giveaways and galley drops.


I've got some of that info already, but I will need to do a bit more research.  Last year I was more prepared than the prior year, but I need to get it sorted out better.


I can actually say I am BEA bound now!!!!  Oh man, it's gonna be a really long four days...

  1. So jealous! Can't make it again this year, so will have to live vicariously through you. Going to get a new knee so I can make it to BEA 2015! I swear!!!

    1. I'm renting the room out. It's taking you so long to get back up here. Though, I understand the knee. I did something funky to my knee a few weeks ago and thought, it all starts here.
      It's going to be tough going as I have been feeling very shagged out, but I will find the strength to persevere somehow.
      But I'm holding you to 2015. Egg might even let you sleep in his bed.

    1. It is a wonderful opportunity, so many authors and books and programs. Did I mention books? It can be rough as it will be three days of walking or rather, mostly standing on a hard cement floor lugging 30 pounds of books on my shoulder.
      It really is a great opportunity to network, talk to authors and publishers and attend some good lectures. All the stress on the body and the sore feet are worth it in the end.
      And Grumpy Cat is going to be in attendance again. Maybe this time I'll actually get to meet her.

    1. Hey, Teresa! I am hoping you are enjoying BEA. It took me all day Tuesday, and I mean aaalllll day, to get organized. Still had to tweak the list Wednesday before BEA actually started. It's been awesome, but I can tell you, after two days, my feet really hurt.
