I thought about just going for BBC and staying one night, but as I will be unemployed as of mid-May, I just can't justify it. I may be back next year, but like you, I have no idea where I'll be living by then!nomadreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795144320842413060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-61024670320101761252011-03-19T10:19:43.039-04:002011-03-19T10:19:43.039-04:00I'm going!

I kept running into my blogging buddies in line, but we all seemed to have different agendas.<br /><br />You might want to consider staying in NJ and taking the train or ferry in every morning. May be a little cheaper. I took the ferry every morning and was so exhausted at the end of the day that I wound up skipping the nightly get-togethers. <br /><br />Like you, I figure I may as well go this year as who knows what next year will bring? :)Alexia561https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797515620050469395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-16419954491451712312011-03-19T09:54:06.859-04:002011-03-19T09:54:06.859-04:00Very smooth of me to have written this post and th...Very smooth of me to have written this post and then disappear for a week, right? *takes a bow* <br /><br />Amanda and Trisha - I'm so bummed you won't be there this year. I had such a great time hanging out with both of you last year, and I know if I end up going I'll be missing you both! I definitely understand, though. It's a lot of money (and 2 weeks is definitely a lot of travel for you, Amanda)!<br /><br />Natasha - That every other year thing was something I was thinking for myself, too. Not sure, though, because I'm in such a place in my life that I have no idea what I'll be doing next year at this time or if I'll have a spare cent to my name, so I wonder if I hadn't better seize the day while I can! <br /><br />Shanyn and Kathy - Glad to hear I'll have some people lined up to hang out with if I finally decide to go! <br /><br />Florinda - It would be a way easier decision if I knew I had a roommate for at least part of the time, since that's where most of the cost is coming from for me. Let me know if you end up needing one! As a matter of fact, I'll probably send you an e-mail. I'll let you know if I'll be there, cuz I'd love to hang out! =DMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-56992247009716392352011-03-14T17:55:42.427-04:002011-03-14T17:55:42.427-04:00I'm going, and I'll be there all week.

I MAY need a roommate for part of the week - I'll be there Monday-Saturday for both BEA and BBC, but her plans are up in the air and she may only come for BBC. But I'm just as anxious as you are about having people to hang out and share meals with - see you there?Florindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789402061034734894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-68841282685943484282011-03-14T00:19:59.820-04:002011-03-14T00:19:59.820-04:00Like you, I spent at least $1000 last year for BEA...Like you, I spent at least $1000 last year for BEA as well and deciding to go for the third year in a row gave me pause. I decided that I don't need to go every year so I'm putting myself on an every other year plan. So no BEA for me this year.Natasha @ Maw Bookshttp://blog.mawbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-91312350603477859542011-03-13T21:40:00.273-04:002011-03-13T21:40:00.273-04:00I will be at BEA this year, and of course I'd ...I will be at BEA this year, and of course I'd love to hang out with you some!bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-23891609473281090572011-03-13T12:01:04.144-04:002011-03-13T12:01:04.144-04:00Like Amanda, I'm passing this year - reluctant...Like Amanda, I'm passing this year - reluctantly and a bit petulantly I might add.
